Monday's free racing tips: our expert team pinpoint their best bets

Handicappers' nap

Zhiguli (3.20 Plumpton)

Has posted career-best figures on his last two starts, most recently shaping as if the step up to this trip would suit when finishing runner-up to a well-handicapped rival at Taunton.

Ace tipster

Shanroe Santos (2.50 Plumpton)

Trainer in fine form and Bryony Frost is being given a crack on a horse who has become incredibly well handicapped.
Paul Kealy

Newmarket nap

In The Red (7.15 Kempton)

Likes Kempton and should come on for his third there last time after a seven-week layoff.
David Milnes

Spotlight nap

Jumira Bridge (1.10 Chelmsford)

Has rediscovered his form with a pair of Wolverhampton wins and, although this track might not suit him quite so well as others, he's still the one to beat under a penalty.

Speed figures

Mighty Gurkha (6.15 Kempton)

Landed a Group 3 over course and distance in September and can concede weight all round to make it three from four on an artificial surface.
Dave Edwards

Dark horse

Excelinthejungle (4.45 Kempton)
Returned after more than 400 days off the track with a creditable second here in October and the winner of that race went on to land his next three starts. Had excuses at Wolverhampton last time and looks capable of running well off this mark back at a venue that suits.
