Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's four meetings
Monday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team
Hereford
3.50: Fiveonefive
History could be in the making as should FIVEONEFIVE pass the post in front, then Denis O'Regan will have ridden a winner at every racecourse in Britain and Ireland. His mount may only need a repeat of his third in a good handicap at Ffos Las three weeks ago to get the champagne corks popping. Omaha Wish is the one most likely to spoil the party, or Johnny Blue if he can progress from his bumper win.
Alistair Jones
Kempton
4.30: Tacarib Bay
Aratus is on a dangerous mark on last season's best and although he failed to reward heavy support on his return ten days ago, he's better than that and the new hood can help. Mount Athos, Juan Les Pins and Stone Soldier all have something to recommend them but TACARIB BAY is of serious interest on this year's peak efforts, has shaped well on AW before and should find this setting up nicely for him.
Paul Smith
Plumpton
3.37: Western Soldier
West End Boy is unpenalised for his comfortable win at Wincanton eight days ago and remains lightly raced but WESTERN SOLDIER could be even better handicapped and is given the vote. Milton Harris' five-year-old was a talented Flat racer when trained in Germany and won a recent course-and-distance maiden with considerable ease.
Chris Wilson
Wolverhampton
7.00: Mini Mildred
This is tricky as there are cases to be made for a few of them on their best form. Bear Claws (second choice) finished behind Gerrots when a beaten favourite over course and distance on his latest start, but he should have a race in him at this trip when the tactics go to plan. Preference is for MINI MILDRED whose trainer has done well with members of the family and she has a good chance of improving for the greater stamina test.
