Six more meetings make up the programme in Britain and Ireland on Wednesday, including the first afternoon of Flat racing at Ascot this season.
The Berkshire circuit is joined by Pontefract, Wolverhampton (AW), Gowran Park, Brighton and Kempton (AW) on a busy midweek programme of racing.
Our midweek fancies include one for Charlie Appleby and William Buick on Trials Day at Ascot ahead of next month's Royal meeting.

Tip 1
A mile event for novices' is race three on the Ascot card this afternoon and DANCING GODDESS (EVS) looks a sure-fire contender for Charlie Appleby.
This Godolphin-owned daughter of Dubawi made a winning start to her career at Kempton over 7f in November and only gave best to John & Thady Gosden's Running Lion on her return. That filly is rated 98 having completed a three-timer in that contest and looks a fairly progressive benchmark.
Dancing Goddess should be every bit as effective on this switch to turf and a replication of that effort might be good enough now, with William Buick preferring her claims to those of stablemate and once-raced winner Veil Of Shadows, a daughter of Frankel that won at Kempton on debut in February.
Tip 2
There's some each-way value to be had in LITTLE TED (8/1) for the Tim Easterby team in this mile contest at Pontefract, which is a Betfred Extra Place Race (four places).
He was third over 7f on soft ground at Thirsk on his seasonal bow four weeks ago. He has in the past tended to need a run back from a break and that trip was shorter than optimal for a horse that has done all his winning at 1m-1m2f.
That return also came on soft ground, so the drying ground that is forecast at Pontefract is another positive for him.
This mark of 56 is 5lb lower that when he won last May and he should give a good account here with those four places to aim for. He's on the Betfred Betfinder as one of the Most Napped contenders today.

Tip 3
Seattle King won over C&D 11 days ago in a race where re-opposing ASENSE (3/1) finished third for the Gary Moore team.
The Equiano filly was having her first outing since October and can certainly claim not to have got the best passage when seeking to challenge.
She was beaten just over two-lengths at the line but might have been closer had she got a clear run. With that effort behind her, she should strip fitter now and when factoring in Sean Kirrane's claim she is 6lb better off with Seattle King now.
She looks sure to break her maiden tag soon and is on the Most Napped table via the Betfred Betfinder to do it at the seaside this evening.
