Monday's free racing tips: our experts with more excellent festive picks

Handicappers' nap

Gold Miner (12.20 Catterick)

Looked unlucky when giving an odds-on shot a fright at Leicester last month and a reproduction of that level of form should see him prevail.
Steve Mason

Newmarket nap

Duel In The Sun (3.30 Newcastle)

Has been absent since running into the smart Sunray Major on his debut at Newmarket in the summer but has worked well on the Al Bahathri of late.
David Milnes

Spotlight nap

Tricorn (4.05 Newcastle)

Completed a hat-trick and finished third in the Britannia in 2017 for John Gosden but yet to win for current yard. This drop back to a mile looks ideal and he may be ready to end the losing run.
Steven Boow

Speed figures

Sword Spirit (4.35 Newcastle)

Has improved her figures on every outing and scored with authority at Lingfield a week ago. Can shrug off her penalty.
Dave Edwards

Dark horse

Boher Cailin (1.50 Leopardstown)

Made a good impression when winning at Clonmel in October. Struggled in Listed company last time out but this is weaker and she looks interesting on handicap debut.
