3.05, Curragh – Handicap (1m 2f; Racing TV)
GLEN TO GLEN was useful and progressive for Jim Bolger, winning a 6f Curragh maiden on his reappearance and finishing third behind Serious Contender, who was later runner-up in the Irish Derby, in a 1m 2f Leopardstown handicap.
This three-year-old gelded son of Dawn Approach subsequently joined Joseph O'Brien and finished fourth in the Golden Gates handicap at Royal Ascot.
Dylan Browne McMonagle gets off the same stable's Valorous Power, winner of a Limerick maiden last time out, to keep the ride on Glen To Glen.
4.00, Redcar – Apprentice Handicap (Class 4, 1m; Racing TV)
It still looks like there is better to come from GLORIOUSLY SASSY, who won a Beverley maiden on his previous start.
North Yorkshire trainer Karl Burke has booked a good rider in Jack Nicholls for a race that is restricted to relatively inexperienced apprentices.
Where is Ryan Moore riding on Sunday?
As on Saturday, he is at the Curragh, where his mounts include the Aidan O'Brien-trained Diego Velazquez in the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes (3.40pm).
The 7f trip could be on the short side for this son of Frankel, but the four-year-old colt seems like the best talent in the race.
Where is William Buick riding on Sunday?
It looks like Buick has a rare day off.
When is the next big racing festival?
The week-long Galway Festival kicks off in Ireland on Monday July 28, followed a day later by Glorious Goodwood. Check out the latest Glorious Goodwood free bets and betting offers ahead of the West Sussex showdown.
The latter is a five-day fixture and is set to feature the Kingman colt Field Of Gold, possibly the best horse in the world, in the Sussex Stakes on July 30, one of three Group 1s at the meeting.
What does NAP mean?
NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning.
Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings.
The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'.

Vance pleased with Guernsey FC after FA Cup opener
Guernsey FC boss Tony Vance hopes his side's performance in their 1-1 FA Cup draw with Bedfont Sports bodes well for the Green Lions - who were relegated to the fifth tier of non-league football in April - held their own against a side a division above them. They are set to travel to the UK later this week to replay their extra preliminary-round tie after Ross Allen's equaliser earned them a draw. Guernsey will open their first-ever campaign in the Southern Combination Premier Division on Saturday when they host Wick at Victoria Park."They're step four, they're the league above us, and we managed to match them," said Vance, whose side has had limited pre-season fixtures."I think it shows that the teams that have just come out of step five going into step four, and the teams like us coming down from step four to step five, there's not much in them."So if we're to do well in step five, these are the games that are going to be close and it showed that we're capable of challenging them."The good news for us is we're not up to speed yet, and we won't be for about a month, so I'm looking forward to it and seeing how we can go."
