Monday's free racing tips: best bets for the day's action

Handicappers' nap

Main Fact (4.15 Wetherby)

Up in grade since rattling off a quickfire hat-trick in January, but is open to further improvement in a race that should be run to suit.
Steve Mason

West Country nap

Main Fact (4.15 Wetherby)

Creeping up the handicap but remains in good heart and can make it a four-timer.
Andrew King

Newmarket nap

Dear Power (7.15 Wolverhampton)

Roger Varian's filly was outclassed in a Group 3 contest when last seen but should benefit from a return to novice company.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Lyrical Ballad (5.15 Wolverhampton)

Has a patchy record overall but has hinted at ability on more than one occasion and has got a big effort in her.

Ace Tipster

Maxed Out King (3.40 Wetherby)

Winner off 4lb lower in November and has continued to run with great credit since. He can go close again.
Paul Kealy

Speed figures

Cheeky Rascal (5.15 Wolverhampton)

Was overhauled close home over course and distance a week ago but swift compensation could be on the cards.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Creative Talent (4.45 Wolverhampton)

Justified favouritism in this race last year and was a respectable fourth at Chelmsford most recently. Respected with conditions in his favour.
Steve Boow

Dark horse

Well Smitten (3.40 Wetherby)

Rejuvenated when scoring for his new yard two starts back and suffered an overreach when disappointing last time. Still looks well treated on old form if bouncing back.
Simon Giles

Irish angle

Dortmund Park (2.55 Leopardstown)

A Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler, the Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old can get off the mark over fences at the second attempt.
Tony O'Hehir

Must-have stat of the day

Luke Morris's six previous rides for Robyn Brisland at Wolverhampton have produced three wins and a second (+£10.75 to £1 level stakes.) He rides Kodiac Harbour for the trainer at 6.15.
