Monday’s racing tips: five horses to consider . . .
The Punt nap
Belle Montrose (2.15 Ludlow)
An opening mark of 93 may underestimate this five-year-old, who can make a successful handicap debut for Sam Drinkwater.
Charlie Huggins
Jky: Robert Dunne Tnr: Samuel Drinkwater
Handicappers’ nap
Brownstone (3.25 Ludlow)
Shaped as if the step back up to this sort of trip would suit when keeping on well to finish runner-up at Leicester last week and, with Joe Anderson able to claim 3lb on this occasion, he has a decent chance of going one better.
Steve Mason
Jky: Joe Anderson (3lb)Tnr: Grace Harris

Eye-catcher
Brownstone (3.25 Ludlow)
Grace Harris’s gelding ran above his mark last time and should be suited by going up in trip again.
David Toft
Jky: Joe Anderson (3lb)Tnr: Grace Harris
Dark horse
The Edgar Wallace (3.10 Kempton)
Found the Topham at Aintree a bit much on last start but had a consistent season up to that point. Has run well at Kempton before, including when second in this race two years ago, and he should go well.
Rob Sutton
Jky: Tom Bellamy Tnr: Kim Bailey
West Country nap
Oakley’s Way (12.45 Ludlow)
Has shown a good level of form in bumpers and can continue to improve.
James Stevens
Jky: Ben Godfrey Tnr: Anthony Honeyball
Speed figures
Shantou Express (2.00 Kempton)
Pulled well clear of the pack when runner-up at Warwick earlier this month and with the stable in form can deservedly gain compensation.
Dave Edwards
Jky: Tom Bellamy Tnr: Kim Bailey
