Newmarket's Cambridgeshire meeting the highlight of an action-packed week

Monday

A busy day of action in Britain and Ireland but all eyes will be focused on Warwick, where a maximum of 474 spectators will be able to take in the eight-race card.

The meeting represents the second of British racing's test events, as the sport looks to continue tentative steps towards the return of crowds to racecourses in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cards at Leicester, Listowel, Hamilton and Fairyhouse are the afternoon's other offerings, before Wolverhampton hosts a nine-race evening card on the Tapeta.

Tuesday

There is Listed action from Listowel, with runners from the yards of Aidan O'Brien, Jessica Harrington, Dermot Weld and Jim Bolger set to line up in the Listowel Stakes (4.30).

The 5f conditions stakes (2.40) at Beverley is the best British race of the day. Look out for hardy 11-year-old Caspian Prince as he bids to back up his victory at Yarmouth on Wednesday on his 106th start.

Warwick and Lingfield host afternoon cards before Newcastle takes over with nine evening races.
