Monday's free racing tips: our team with their best bets to start the week
Handicappers' nap
Juniors Dream (6.30 Thirsk)
Failed to build on a credible win at Haydock on Tapeta last week but worth chancing now back on turf.

Ace Tipster
Blue De Vega (5.15 Windsor)
Now 2lb below last winning mark and has shaped well enough on two starts this term to suggest he can take advantage.
Paul Kealy
Newmarket nap
Itmusthavebeenlove (7.45 Windsor)
Showed her winning turn was not far away last time and blew out well for this on the watered gallop at the weekend.
David Milnes
Speed figures
Lady De Vega (7.45 Windsor)
Landed a moderate handicap at Leicester 11 days ago, is propping up the weights and the figures indicate she may still be ahead of her mark.
Dave Edwards
Spotlight nap
Broctune Red (8.30 Thirsk)
Still a maiden but has low mileage for a five-year-old and has gone close at 1m2f and a mile this season, on good and quicker ground. He's 4lb higher now but he handles cut underfoot and he's safer than most.

Dark horse
Lord Oberon (1.40 Ayr)
Shaped better than the finishing position in a decent race at Newcastle last week, has fallen below his last winning mark and will relish the forecast soft ground.
