The second day of Glorious Goodwood commences on Wednesday with seven races certain to be filled with drama, excitement and surprises at Chichester, West Sussex.
The biggest race of the day is the Sussex Stakes, one of two Group One races during the five-day meet.
The bumper card also includes the Goodwood Stakes and a race for the juveniles, the Vintage Stakes, which is now a Group Two event.
Here's a guide on where you should put your money.

Goodwood Stakes Handicap
One of the longest races on the British racing calendar, the Goodwood Stakes Handicap promises to provide spectators with an interesting first race.
Nine of the last 11 winners had won at two miles previously, while five of the last 11 were favourites to emerge victorious.
Our pick: Lieutenant Miller (7-1)
In good form, and trainer Nicky Henderson has won the race twice before, most recently with Ghimaar in 2010.
Sussex Stakes
The most prestigious race of the entire week, the Sussex Stakes covers one mile and is for horses at least three years old.
It will no doubt attract huge amounts of interest among bookmakers, particularly as nine of the last 14 winners have been either the favourite or second-favourite in the pre-race betting.
Our pick: Toronado (6-4)
The second favourite, Toronado and jockey Richard Hughes can keep up their recent good form by ousting Dawn Approach (11-10).
Vintage Stakes
Run over seven furlongs, the Vintage Stakes is now a Group Two race after many of its winners went onto greater success in later life.
It's been 11 years since an outsider won this race, with Dublin triumphing despite 11-1 odds back in 2002. It will take a superb ride for that statistic to change today.
Our pick: Parbold (2-1)
With an extra race and its belt, Parbold can pip the promising favourite Toormore (6-4) to the line.
