Monday's top tips: Racing Post experts share their best bets

Handicappers' nap

Epsom Des Mottes (3.10 Lingfield)

Escapes a penalty for last Monday's wide-margin Ayr success and will be hard to beat if reproducing that form over today's longer trip.

Newmarket nap

Never Alone (6.50 Wolverhampton)

Unlucky not to have collected on his three starts as a juvenile and this looks the right opportunity for him to get off the mark after some decent work at Moulton Paddocks.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Smile A Mile (6.20 Wolverhampton)

Warmed to his task on Fibresand debut from well off the pace, he was no match for the winner but shaped well. Can benefit from this step up in trip.

Ace Tipster

Epsom Des Mottes (3.10 Lingfield)

Finally got it right off tumbling mark at Ayr last week and should have no trouble following up.
Paul Kealy

Speed Figures

Seraphim (5.20 Wolverhampton)

Beaten favourite over the minimum trip here last time and a return to six furlongs will suit this course and distance winner.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Navajo Dawn (1.25 Southwell)

Justified favouritism in good style over course and distance ten days ago. Capable of following up despite a 4lb rise for that breakthrough win.

Dark horse

Smile A Mile (6.20 Wolverhampton)

Ran in some decent handicaps over the summer on the turf and could exploit his mark of 89. Talented claimer Oliver Stammers takes off another 7lb.

Must-have stat of the day

Suitcase 'N' Taxi has form figures of 1111 at Southwell, 21111 over 7f and 221111 when ridden by Duran Fentiman. Therefore, he has plenty going for him when lining up for the 2.30.
