All you need to know with quality jumping action to start the week
After a weekend of Classics, Group 1s and plenty of drama then Monday's racing might feel like somewhat of a comedown – but if you have been missing the jump action then you are in for a bit of a treat.
Four good rivals run in Worcester's feature Class 2 handicap on a day with three jump meetings.
Elsewhere on the card, former smart juvenile hurdler, and most recent Galway Hurdle third Leoncavallo makes his chasing debut. The event was won by the useful Wait For Me last year.
In Ireland, Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott could unleash some potential stars in a competitive Galway card which features decent prospects in maiden and bumper events. Racing also comes from Hexham, Brighton and Kempton.

Final thought
The Richard Hannon-trained Naughty Rascal looked a smart winner on debut and puts that form to the test at Kempton this afternoon (6.30). On that form he could be a really talented prospect and this test will reveal more.
