Monday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters . . .

Handicappers' nap

Zumaaty (1.45 Hamilton)

Placed on both previous runs over today's course and distance, the Iain Jardine-trained gelding looked unfortunate not to win a better race at Ayr on Friday and can go one better back down in grade here.

The Punt nap

Hands Off (1.55 Warwick)

Showed promise in three runs over hurdles last season and Nicky Henderson looks to have found a good opportunity for his Ronnie Bartlett-owned five-year-old to get off the mark.

Eyecatcher

Nominal Event (2.20 Hamilton)

Ran on strongly for third on her debut at Chester, one place ahead of her trainer Craig Lidster's more fancied runner, and can improve on that in similar conditions.

Pen Portrait (6.00 Wolverhampton)

Simon and Ed Crisford's chestnut has been showing up well in his work on the summer gallop since his debut third at Thirsk last month.

Speed figures

Tropical Air (5.30 Wolverhampton)

Appreciated the step up in trip when winning with authority on his all-weather debut at Lingfield nine days ago and should again be in the mix.

Dark horse

Spirit Of Cahala (5.00 Leicester)

Made a promising debut for the Roger Teal yard last time and entitled to take a step forward having been off the track for ten months. Soft ground is another reason for improvement, as both his dam's wins came when there was ease.
