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

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

Chepstow

4.18: Sainte Doctor

Neil Mulholland's mare Sainte Doctor (nap) arrested her decline with a good effort in defeat last month and remains very well handicapped after a recent 3lb rise. She gets the vote ahead of Cokytho, who took a good step in the right direction on his latest outing and remains very unexposed in Britain. Ballybeen can also feature, providing last month's hard race at Fontwell did not leave any mental scars.

Cork

1.50: Japers Jack

Sir Argus has an edge on Misty's Gift on Thurles running and should confirm that form. However, preference is for Japers Jack (nap). He is really solid and his yard is in good form. Bob Cigar should do better.

Fairyhouse

5.00: Amirite

Thedevilscoachman has long been the talk of the town for this and he's an improving novice who is surely better handicapped than a good many of these. One exception might be Amirite (nap), who wasn't seen to best effect when behind the likely favourite in a steadily run Grade 3 last time, and the very different demands of this race should be right up his street. Having his prep race over hurdles was a tell-tale sign that this has been the plan for Max Flamingo since his seventh 12 months ago and he's on the shortlist along with class act Royale Pagaille, Panda Boy and Kim Muir principals Angels Dawn and Stumptown.

Fakenham

4.17: Cyclop

An interesting veterans' event in which the vote goes to the 12yo Cyclop (nap), who is on a roll after winning his last three starts and was better than ever with his brave success at Newbury 16 days ago. The main danger is Boldmere, who beat Fidux at Doncaster on his penultimate run and went close behind the selection at Newbury last time.

Huntingdon

2.10: Lord Sparky

Luckofthedraw comes here in good form over shorter but preference is for course specialist Lord Sparky (nap) who has much less to prove over this trip and ran up against an improved one at Southwell last time out. Kakamora is another who needs to show he truly stays this far, while Dan's Chosen has a heavy Taunton fall to put behind him.

Kempton

4.40: Laurel

It would be disappointing if Laurel (nap) cannot win this and win it well, as she looks in another class to today's rivals. She proved her class when second in a Group 1 on the last of her three starts last season and had impressed over this C&D the time before. Sound Angela can prove best of the rest, given that Life Of Dreams has more to prove over this trip.

Plumpton

2.58: Only Money

Chris Gordon's Only Money (nap) returns from a break under what are probably his optimum conditions and, prior to his final start, he was having a very solid season. Iconic Muddle's latest effort can be upgraded and he's second choice ahead of Noahthirtytwored.

Redcar

3.26: Paramaribo

The move up to 2m appeared to be of major benefit to Zephlyn on his latest AW start and he would be a leading player if that level of performance is transferred to turf. However, preference over him is for Paramaribo (nap) who was seriously involved in one 1m4f handicap last April and could find that today's trip, the visor and tongue-tie all help him. Oh So Chic's commendable 2022 season for Ed Bethell puts her on the shortlist even though she has changed hands since. Tiger Spirit won this race last year, with Zuckerberg a close third.

Wolverhampton

3.28: Odin Owns You All

Just the five runners but a tight little contest. Mrs U S A has to be considered if building on a narrow defeat on her reappearance over C&D last month, while Tamaluk has a strikingly similar profile to last year's winner. However, the progressive Odin Owns You All (nap) looked as though he was capable of even better when winning well at Southwell last time and can make a successful handicap debut.
