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

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

Windsor

5.30: Harry The Haggler

Well supported when second to a subsequent winner on his handicap debut last month, HARRY THE HAGGLER remains open to improvement going up in distance again. Sparks Fly, who's taken time to work out what's required, is a danger on her turf debut.

Hexham

2.15: Patagonia

Plenty have possibilities in this open race. Course specialist Cudgel coped really well with his big drop back in trip here last month and he's a big player in his bid for a C&D double. Recent Carlisle winner Going Mobile is respected off his revised mark, while Buddari also makes the shortlist along with the returning Ensel Du Perche. However, the vote goes to Gary Hanmer's unexposed chaser PATAGONIA, who rallied well to go very close at Wetherby on his return from a layoff and is open to more progress.

Pontefract

5.15: Squeezebox

The lightly raced 4yo SQUEEZEBOX showed promise in Ireland and is taken to make a winning start for Mick Appleby in his first handicap. Refuge did well last year and may be the chief threat on the back of a satisfactory reappearance. High Security is next on the list after a good comeback run.

Kempton

6.55: Latitude

There could well be more to come from LATITUDE, who is taken to follow up his Ludlow success. Danny Kirwan, based on his most recent completed effort, is feared most ahead of Our Jet, who should be involved if he stays the trip. Steve Boow

Naas

7.40: Something Nice

The step up in trip should be okay for SOMETHING NICE who relishes soft ground and his revised mark seems fair. Immutable is another who will enjoy conditions and his yard is in great form while Shane Foley's pick Spirit Genie and easy Bellewstown winner Rhythm King also merit respect.
