ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the nine races on ITV4 on Monday

2.40 Fairyhouse
Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m
Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle winner Jeff Kidder contests this Grade 2. The Denise Foster-trained Teahupoo, unbeaten in three starts including in Grade 3 company here last time, heads the betting.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Teahupoo

Rating based on (course) wins this year; not obvious why better ground should bother him

2.55 Kempton
Unibet "You're On" Fillies' Conditions Stakes, 1m
Just three runners line up and Kestenna, trained by John and Thady Gosden, is odds-on favourite with form figures of 211 in three all-weather starts.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Kestenna

Has improved with each start and won by nine lengths over course and distance last time; should be hard to beat

3.15 Fairyhouse
Fairyhouse Steel Handicap Hurdle, 2m6f
Two of the last ten runnings have been won by the favourite with the last four going to double-figure-priced runners. This looks typically open with Millen To One, Capilano Bridge and Max Flamingo arriving in form.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Bold Emperor

Better going to suit after decent run at Naas; not ruled out; 2lb out of weights; can lead

3.30 Kempton
Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Conditions Stakes, 1m
Pointers for the future will be gleaned with Dante entry Mostahdaf, a recent novice winner at Newcastle, heading the betting. Spring Cup third El Drama and course-and-distance debut scorer Imperial Sands are other potentially smart three-year-olds.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Imperial Sands

Impressive winner on debut over course and distance last month; looks a useful prospect

3.50 Fairyhouse
Underwriting Exchange Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m4f
Stayers' Hurdle fourth Beacon Edge is a worthy favourite dropping in trip. Pertemps Final runner-up The Bosses Oscar, Lismullen Hurdle second French Dynamite and talented mare Stormy Ireland – back with Willie Mullins – are other contenders.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: French Dynamite

Usually handy; held on collateral form by Beacon Edge but RPR of 155+ last thrice

4.02 Kempton
Unibet Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes (Listed), 1m
Ed Walker and owner Bjorn Nielsen won this race with Agrotera in 2019 and seek a repeat with Amniarix, a winner of her last three starts. Group 3 winner Lavender's Blue is the one to beat on official ratings.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Amniarix

Improved plenty during the winter and was impressive last time; stable won this in 2019

4.20 Fairyhouse
Devenish Chase (Grade 2), 2m4f
A smashing race in which Ryanair Chase second Fakir D'Oudairies, Battleoverdoyen and Easy Game clash. Castlegrace Paddy and Snow Falcon are others to consider.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Fakir D'Oudairies

Clear chance now having chased home the impressive Allaho in the Ryanair at Cheltenham

4.35 Kempton
Unibet 15 To Go Queen’s Prize Handicap, 2m
Favourites have failed to land the last nine runnings and the Roger Varian-trained Postileo will seek to buck that trend. The hat-trick-seeking Starczewski and Vibrance, a four-time winner from ten course starts, head the opposition.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Vibrance

Race was not run to suit when behind Al Kout here last time; could reverse the form

5.00 Fairyhouse
BoyleSports Irish Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade A), 3m5f

The big race of the day and Latest Exhibition, second to Monkfish on his last two starts in Grade 1 novice chase company, tops the market. Run Wild Fred and Sempo are other single-figure priced contenders.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Moyhenna

Not a forlorn hope judged on third to The Big Dog at Punchestown and solid Cheltenham run
