After a blank day today as the racing world paid its respects to the Queen Mother, it's back to business tomorrow with two Flat meetings and a jumping fixture.
My Nap selection is in action at Warwick, where Kaluana Court bids to win the Renault Vans Handicap over one mile and seven furlongs.
The six-year-old came into his own last season, scoring over this course and distance in August, which was the middle leg of a quick-fire hat-trick, his other victories being achieved at Bath and Pontefract.
Although his form tailed off towards the end of the season Kaluana Court remains an interesting candidate for this term, still under the guidance of trainer Richard Price.
Tomorrow's race will not take a great deal of winning and, with last season's top apprentice Chris Catlin in the saddle, I think Kaluana Court will make a triumphant return to action.
Jamie Spencer looks sure to enjoy a bumper campaign this season and this talented jockey can score on Adanitio in the Renault Trafic Van Handicap over seven furlongs.
Rod Millman's gelding shaped well on his reappearance at Nottingham last week when third to Solomon's Mine, but appeared not to last out the extended mile. Tomorrow's shorter distance should suit him better.
Pat Eddery has made a flying start to the season and the 50-year-old riding icon can add to his tally of winners aboard Yarrow Bridge in the Renault Kangoo Van Classified Stakes.
Trained by Richard Hannon, Yarrow Bridge showed progressive form last season and wound up with a win over this course and distance.
Eddery also has possibilities aboard Daimajin in division two of the Renault Master Vans Maiden Stakes.
Brian Meehan's colt showed up well for a long way before fading at Leicester on his debut when third to Eric Le Beau. He should strip fitter this time.
Champion jockey Kieren Fallon will be in action on Lingfield's all-weather surface and is likely to be among the winners.
Fallon teams-up with Stillington trainer David Chapman aboard Sharp Hat in the betdirect.co.uk Handicap over six furlongs and a bold bid is anticipated.
Sharp Hat has been running well lately and he could well emulate stablemate Paddywack, who won for Chapman and Fallon on this course last week.
Fallon also has good prospects aboard the lightly-raced, but promising Italian Mist in the Littlewoods Bet Direct Maiden Stakes.
