Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's four meetings

Monday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Thirsk

2.00: Manumission

The pace appears to be amongst those drawn towards the nearside, so the high numbers look to be the ones to focus on. Alex Gracie is worth a second look from a 1lb lower mark than when winning this last year while Naughty Ana would be a contender if putting her latest effort behind her, but Manumission can prove the answer. He seems to have benefited from the switch to David Evans and has continued to run well since winning at Chepstow last month. Nosey Rosie Posey and Cobra Eye look the pick of those drawn low.

Worcester

2.50: Bathiva

The improving Admiral's Sunset receives plenty of weight from her rivals and looks the main threat to the progressive Bathiva, who looks to have a lot more to offer over fences.

Naps table: daily tipping selections from national newspaper experts

Brighton

3.50: Hooves Like Jagger

Turn Of Phrase didn't get much luck when a close third at Bath last time and she's respected at this new trip but preference is for Hooves Like Jagger, who resumed his progress with an easy win over C&D last Monday and looks well treated under a penalty for that success. Another who could be in the mix is Voi, who is on a reduced mark and finished placed from a tough draw on Polytrack 11 days ago.
David Moon

Kempton

8.15: Urban Forest

The verdict goes to Urban Forest, who showed improvement at Ffos Las last month and looks ready to strike. He should be suited by this return to AW if taking after his dam. Second choice is Mustang Kodi, who ties in with the selection on last-time-out form. Sundayinmay warrants respect as she's the only previous winner in the field, while Vive La Danse is likely to go well again and some of the handicap newcomers may improve.
