Monday tips: our regional experts with their best bets of the day

Handicappers' nap

Patchouli (6.50 Windsor)

Fair performer who has trained on this year without improving. Balance of this year's form is better than her rivals and looks sure to go close.
Simon Turner

Newmarket nap

Alnadir (8.50 Windsor)

Ran into a decent type when second to Korcho here last time but Simon Crisford's chestnut is fancied to go one better after some decent work on the watered gallop.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Flying Raconteur (7.10 Ripon)

Ran respectably after a 568-day absence on handicap debut and would surely have gone even closer if the gaps had opened up earlier.
Raceform

Irish Angle

Festina Plente (6.30 Roscommon)

Beaten a head over a mile at Bellewstown five days ago, the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly should not be inconvenienced by the 7f trip and gets the vote to score.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Rufus King (8.10 Ripon)

Has been shaping like he's ready to win for a while now and ran another solid race when third at Haydock on Friday. Runs off the same mark, which is 15lb lower than last year's peak, and it's just a matter of time before he gets his head in front again.
Paul Kealy

Speed Figures

Group Stage (8.50 Windsor)

Has found one too good on both starts this term but produced a personal best on the speed figures at Newbury last time and can deservedly go one better.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Wedding Date (7.20 Windsor)

Three-time winner over 5f on turf, including at Newmarket 16 days ago. Raised 4lb for that effort but finished well to record a personal best and can take advantage dropped in grade.
David Moon

Dark horse

Pass The Gin (7.20 Windsor)

Consistent type and a drop back in trip and class could make the difference with Oisin Murphy also booked to ride.
Sam Hardy

Must-have stat of the day

The dam Christmas Kid has had two of her offspring run in Roscommon maidens and both won. She has her third in that company at the track, Kells, in the 6.00.
