Friday's racing bulletin
The Five Live tip is Papineau in the 1430 at York (all times BST).

Racing on Friday comes from York, Newbury, Nottingham and there are evening meetings at Hamilton and Aintree.

The ground for the third and final day of York's May meeting is good to soft.

The feature race is the Yorkshire Cup at 1430 where Millenary bids to follow up last year's success.

While he does have an obvious chance, this year's contest looks more competitive and it should pay to side with Papineau, who took last season's Ascot Gold Cup.

His trainer has warned that Papineau may be ring-rusty but his class should prevail.

Newbury race on a much faster surface with the ground officially good to firm with firm places.

Flashy Wings in the 1545 is being hyped as a potential Classic winner so should win a conditions race easily.

The ground at Nottingham is good to firm with good places.

Trainer Rod Millman has made a bright start to the season and his horse Davenport looks to have every chance of completing a three-timer in the 1555.

The ground has been changed to good for Hamilton's evening card where Pukka, trained by Luca Cumani, looks the answer to the 2025.

He never stopped improving last season and if continuing on the upgrade should prove too strong for High Action.

It's jump racing at Aintree and the ground is good. It is advisable to arrive early because it's Ladies Night and the crowds will be huge.

Itsmyboy in the 1900 will be a short-priced favourite but should win easily.
