Racing gets underway with the first meeting at Sedgefield with a seven-race card between 13:00 and 16:05. Action from Haydock soon follows with another seven races from 13:40 to 16:45 as the Sprint Cup Meeting begins at the Merseyside venue.
Betfred's Extra Place promotion covers the 14:10, in a contest which sees Polyphonic (6/4) and Dark Mystery (7/2) go head to head after they both picked up wins in their last outings.
There's seven races to take in from Salisbury between 13:50 to 16:56, while the only Irish meeting today comes from Clonmel between 16:20 and 19:25.
Racing on Thursday concludes with another seven-race card at Windsor from 16:30 to 19:30, where it's Week 4 of The Racing League series.
Only two races from Windsor are not covered by one of Betfred's offers, with Extra Places on the 16:30, 17:30 and 19:00.
Our Super Extra Place promotion covers the 18:00, while our Free Bet if 2nd offer is on the final race of the day.
The Daniel & Claire Kubler-trained Andaleep has earned plenty of admirers ahead of this race at 19:30 and is 15/8 for the win with jockey Sean Levey in the saddle.
The Ed Dunlop-trained Haunted Dream (7/2) also looks to be a contender and will hope to get back to the form that saw him pick up two wins back in April.

Officials asked residents to cut back on power use Wednesday between 4 and 9 p.m
Posted BY: Zero Hedge
As the day went on, California warmed up more than expected and that has prompted California's grid operator to issue a specific warning of the potential for power shortfalls that could lead to blackouts on Wednesday night.
Officials asked residents to cut back on power use Wednesday between 4 and 9 p.m. as temperatures soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
"This is a manifestation of what CAISO warned folks about back in May, that unless they see voluntary curtailments the grid could become unstable during certain periods of high demand," said Gary Cunningham, director of market research at risk management firm Tradition Energy.
"In this case it is extreme heat that is causing it, but overall weakness in the supply picture are adding to the issue."
The heat poses the biggest test to the grid since the summer of 2020, when rolling outages engulfed portions of the state.

California power grid officials have a sobering warning this week, telling customers to brace for potential blackouts as the state's grid faces capacity constraints over the Labor Day weekend.
"The top three conservation actions are to set thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid using large appliances and charging electric vehicles, and turn off unnecessary lights.
"Lowering electricity use during that time will ease strain on the system, and prevent more drastic measures, including rotating power outages," California Independent System Operator (CAISO) told customers.
California's grid is projected to exceed 48,000 megawatts next Monday, the highest of the year, as a menacing heatwave will send temperatures across the state 10-20 degrees above normal through next Tuesday.
The fact that CAISO has to ask customers not to charge their EVs during the current heatwave implies the grid is fragile.
"If weather or grid conditions worsen, the ISO may issue a series of emergency notifications to access additional resources and prepare market participants and the public for potential energy shortages and the need to conserve," California's grid operator warned.
A surge in EV charging at home could bring down parts of the state's grid.
So much for the green energy transition to unreliable renewable solar and wind.
How exactly is the progressive state – which is hellbent on ridding fossil fuel generation from the grid and replacing it with unreliable solar and wind – going to support all the new EVs after lawmakers passed a new measure last week to eliminate all gas-powered vehicles by 2035?
Nuclear is the only answer to decarbonizing a power grid with sustainable power generation. Asia gets it.
Grid operators are concerned by the increasing use of air conditioners, and as the evening rolls around, people plug in their EVs to charge, increasing power demand as supply constraints suggest the state will have years of a chaotic grid, similar to a third world country.
