Monday bets: our experts reveal their best bets of the day
Handicappers' nap
Myklachi (5.20 Ripon)
Course winner on penultimate start and not beaten far at Ayr last time. Less exposed than his rivals and chance the extra distance can bring further improvement.
Sam Walker
Newmarket nap
Percy's Prince (5.40 Wolverhampton)
Sir Mark Prescott's gelding was just in need of the run when fourth at this venue last week and should enjoy the step up in trip.
David Milnes
Eyecatcher
Burnage Boy (5.20 Ripon)
Doesn't have many miles on the clock and appeared to be getting the hang of things last time at Pontefract when finishing third in a better race. He can reward each-way support.

Ace Tipster
Tomily (2.05 Ayr)
Used to be a useful sprinter and while nowhere near as good now, he hacked up in a Windsor seller last time. Left on same mark and no surprise if new yard takes him back up the handicap.
Paul Kealy
Speed Figures
Arms Of The Angel (5.10 Ayr)
Has reached the frame twice recently and can belatedly get off the mark and recoup her recent Epsom losses.
Dave Edwards
Irish Angle
Pythion (6.20 Killarney)
Down in trip and in class, the Ger Lyons-trained colt, who ran in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last month, will appreciate the quick ground and can account for his four rivals.
Tony O'Hehir
Spotlight nap
Alright Sunshine (4.20 Ripon)
Made a winning Flat debut in a novice contest at Musselburgh in May, subsequently placed in novice events at this track and at Ayr. Needs to be taken seriously on handicap debut.
Chris Wilson
Dark horse
Isomer (8.30 Windsor)
Andrew Balding's runner caught the eye staying on from the rear the last twice, shaping as though this step back up in trip will suit. The handicapper has given him a chance and he can go well back from a short break.
Olly Eden
Must-have stat of the day
Club Wexford is 3-4 when running at Ayr, improving to 3-3 over a mile (+£19.75 to £1 level stakes). Roger Fell's 8yo runs over that trip at 4.10.
