Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's five meetings

Monday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Brighton

Mist Of Lir ran well for a long way at Chelmsford last time and could make a bold bid back at this trip, while there are a few nursery newcomers who need checking in the market. However, it is hard to get away from LINE OF FIRE (nap), who raised his game when runner-up behind a well-backed favourite over C&D last Sunday and did clear best of the closers in that race.

Galway

4.30: Seddon

Having run a fine race on Flat bow last time at Killarney after a break, SEDDON (nap) is well-treated at these weights and can get back on the scoresheet. Winter Fog was disappointing at Kilbeggan last time behind Macgiloney but can turn that form around.

Newcastle

8.00: Nazca

The drop to sprinting has worked a treat for NAZCA (nap), who can make it 3-3 over 6f. The return to Newcastle could be a big positive for Zegos Surprise on her first run for Paul Collins and she is second choice ahead of Captain Dandy, who has been gelded since last time.

Newton Abbot

3.50: Investment Manager

Preference is for INVESTMENT MANAGER (nap), who has added some consistency to his game and he clearly excels at this track. The handicapper may have caught up with Opening Bid but he could be all the better for a recent break and is next on the list.

Perth

4.15: Well Planted

Topweight WELL PLANTED (nap) has been running really well over C&D this summer, including when beaten just a neck in a higher grade last time, and he can return to winning ways. The drop back in trip could be a plus for Inca Prince and he is second choice ahead of the Fergal O'Brien-trained handicap newcomer John The Baptist.
