Horse Racing Tips: Train looks to fire for form tipster at Leicester
We are treated to six race meetings on Monday with three of them taking place this afternoon, with the other trio providing the evening action and the likes of Leicester and Windsor should provide some competitive action in the UK, while Roscommon will offer the sole Irish fixture. We have delved through our Naps table, which includes selections from a host of racing writers and picked out some of the most eye-catching best bets running today...
Whistler of the Sunday Telegraph has been in tremendous form of late - notching up three winning selections on the bounce - and the form tipster heads to Leicester's Flat meeting this afternoon to try and notch up the four-timer. With a profit of £7.12 currently, Marlborough is hoping that Clive Cox's Midnight Train can land the spoils in the 14:20 race. Back-to-back wins at Windsor and Nottingham has seen the progressive three-year-old storm up the handicap, but off a 6lb higher mark today Marlborough fancies the 3/1 chance to get his head in front again.
Mercury of the Daily Post is another that had a profitable weekend having secured winning naps on Saturday and Sunday and that tipster heads to Ludlow's National Hunt fixture today and is backing the Evens favourite Kilbarry Leader to win the 16:35 race. The Irish point winner won a National Hunt Flat Race at Southwell in early April and is looking to land a second win in that sphere today and looks very tough to beat.
Expert Eye currently heads the naps table with a magnificent profit of £37.21 and the top tipster heads to Windsor's evening Flat card for the best bet of the day, and Expert Eye is backing the 4/1 chance Sweet Reward to land the prize for Johnny Portman and Rob Hornby in the 19:10 race.
Lambourn is second in the naps table and is backing 11/1 chance Lady Madonna in the 13:40 at Wolverhampton, while the third-placed RP Ratings is following the aforementioned Marlborough by siding with Midnight Train to land the win for Clive Cox.
Guineas-winning trainer George Boughey will aim to land more success when he saddles the 2/1 shot Aryaah in the 14:20 at Leicester, and the son of Dandy Man, who will be ridden by man-of-the-moment William Buick, has proven the most popular selection in our naps as six tipsters have put the gelding up as the best bet of the day. A winner at Bath two starts ago, he failed to land the double when second at Leicester on his last outing, but a return to that track today could see him prevail once again and he looks tough to beat.
Rum Cocktail is another that has caught the eye of our tipsters as five of them including the likes of Andrew Bladen from the Wolverhampton Express & Star and Jon Freeman of The i have tipped the Cox-trained star for the 18:40 at Windsor. Currently, a 7/2 chance for the 5f 21y contest, Rum Cocktail shaped with promise last season winning one of his three outings, and he will aim to return with a win today in what looks a competitive event.
John & Thady Gosden's Salvator Mundi is the other catching huge attention with our tipsters with three of them tipping up the 15/8 chance for the 15:50 at Leicester. The lightly-raced maiden was last seen finishing third at Leicester off a mark of 81, and having been dropped 1lb today he looks to stand a huge chance despite having the burden of top weight.
