The Lowdown: going updates, racecards, news and tips for Monday's racing

Today's news

• NOT IMPRESSED: Trainer Jamie Osborne has criticised a National Association of Racing Staff (Nars) quiz for trivialising serious allegations, while a stable staff chief has defended its publication.

• STAR NOVICE:Envoi Allen recorded back-to-back top-level wins at Naas on Sunday with Gordon Elliott favouring a crack at a novice hurdle rather than the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

• INTRIGUING EVENT: The talented Dashel Drasher landed the 2m3½f novice hurdle at Chepstow last year and the Ben Pauling-trained King Erik (2.55) is an interesting runner on his hurdling debut after finishing a promising fifth in a Warwick bumper in May.

• EVENING FEATURE: The four runners in the 1m1½f Betway Conditions Stakes (7.15) at Wolverhampton boast three-figure official ratings with Pivoine the one to beat if running to his mark of 109.

Paul Kealy's best bet

Tanrudy (2.25 Chepstow)

Really good third over a trip too short last time and can build on that back up in distance.
