Ryan Moore visits track for first time this year - plus more punting pointers for every meeting on Tuesday
Punting pointers from each of today's race meetings . . .
Lingfield: deadly combination
Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy are the top trainer and jockey at Lingfield this season, with respective strike-rates of 25 and 22 per cent.
Murphy has ridden 12 winners to Balding's ten, and the pair combine with Candyman Star in the 1m4f maiden (2.00) and Never Mind Me in the a mile handicap (5.35).
Candyman Star has shown hints of ability on his two starts and will have the benefit of experience over newcomers His Finest Hour and Specifically. Never Mind Me would also have a chance if reproducing his two second-placed efforts at Chelmsford and Sandown this season.
Leicester: Moore factor
Ryan Moore makes his first visit to Leicester this year with three rides for Sir Michael Stoute and Cheveley Park Stud.
The first, Formal, will bid to defy a penalty in the 7f fillies' novice (3.10) after she downed the experienced favourite Glistening on her debut at Newbury in July. By Dubawi and out of the Group 1 winner Veracious, she could bid for Group honours before the season is out as she boasts an entry in the Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket.
Archivist raced a little awkwardly but stayed on takingly in the closing stages on his debut at Lingfield in July and should be capable of better in the 7f novice for horses who have had no more than three runs (3.44).
Islanova has been consistent of late and looks to have a reasonable chance of breaking her maiden in the 1m2f fillies' handicap (4.14), providing the visor continues to have the desired effect.
Leicester: Greatrex first
Jumps trainer Warren Greatrex has fared well with his increased Flat team this season, with five winners from 31 runners. He saddles his first runners on the Flat at Leicester courtesy of two-year-olds Havana Club (2.40) and Lunar Orbit (3.44).
Catterick: Menzies filly seeks track four-timer
Bargain buy One Of Our Own bids for a fourth course-and-distance victory in the space of seven weeks in the 6f handicap (4.22) at Catterick.
The filly, who was bought for 1,500gns to run for trainer Rebecca Menzies's racing club last year, carries topweight following her three wins at the North Yorkshire track, although Kaiya Fraser takes off a valuable 5lb.
"Kaiya is attached to Harry Eustace but his strike-rate for us is very good [43 per cent]," said Menzies. "He's very committed. He has come into ride out and has struck up a good rapport with One Of Our Own.
"It would be daft not to give her a go, even though we think the ground might be a bit on the soft side for her."
Catterick: Midgley's track-specialist
Birkenhead has form figures of 1213 at Catterick this year. The Paul Midgley-trained seven-year-old bids for a fourth course win in total in the 5f handicap (2.50).
Galway: course specialist one to watch
San Aer has shown a liking for the unique twist and turns at Ballybrit in the past, scoring twice from nine starts, and he shaped well in two fiercely competitive handicaps three days apart at last month's festival.
The six-year-old steps back up to 1m½f in the conditions race (4.05) which promises to suit and has the services of Billy Lee in the plate. Trainer Tom Mullins is hoping the ground, described as soft on Monday, doesn't dry out too much before the race.
He said: "He ran a cracker in the Ahonoora and we're hoping he has a real good chance. He likes Galway as he's won there a couple of times and been placed. We're just hoping the ground doesn't dry out too much. It'll dry up a bit but he should have a good chance and he's in really good form."
Newcastle: Titainium to show his steel again?
Titainium has taken his form up a level since stepping up to 1m2f and looks capable of following up last month's Redcar win returning to the all-weather at Newcastle.
The three-year-old son of Bated Breath, who runs in the 1m2f handicap (6.00), won over 7f at the track in June and finished second on his first try over this trip at Ayr two weeks before Redcar.
Trainer Grant Tuer said: "He's won at the track already, albeit over seven furlongs. He was a winner over the trip last time and he's come out of that really well. If anything, we'll probably go up in trip even further as time goes on, and I don't see why he wouldn't run a really good race."
Tuer has his stable in good form, with a 42 per cent strike rate (5-12) in the last two weeks before racing on Monday night, and rates Titainium his best chance from his four runners at Newcastle.
