MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: STRATFORD & CARLISLE
Matt Polley pinpoints runners from Stratford and Carlisle for his best bets this Monday. 13:40 STRATFORD Lord Of Cheshire doesn’t have many miles on the clock for a nine year old, suggesting he may have had a few issues. He’s clearly talented, and should go well. Major Fortune and particularly Petty Cash will enjoy the good ground, however, the vote goes to Sunshine Diamond. He ran well behind a nice type on chase debut, and comes from a yard in form, and there’s also plent

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: WOLVERHAMPTON
Matt Polley hopes to start the week with some winners as he picks out two runners at Wolverhampton he’s following this Monday. 16:30 WOLVERHAMPTON The Anthony Gover is an improving three year old who has course form and the assistance of the champion jockey. He surely has to be on the scene. Lunella is interesting on handicap debut. He comes from a stable that know the time of day,, but the trip is an unknown. Serious Look is now well enough handicapped to be of interest. He

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: KEMPTON
Matt Polley heads to Kempton for his best bets to kick-start the week as he pinpoints two runners worth following. 18:45 KEMPTON Fight Your Corner must be quite a difficult horse to train for some reason, with only six races under his belt at the age of five. He clearly has a fair amount of ability, and if all is well, he should run really well. Loblolly is consistent, but probably in the grip of the handicapper. A chance is taken with Gilet. He’s run some decent races in d

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: PONTEFRACT
Matt Polley kicks off the week with selections from Yorkshire as he heads to Pontefract for his best bets. 14:53 PONTEFRACT A proper test for a two year old over a mile here on soft ground. One runner here who shouldn’t have any issues is the filly Silverella, who won here last time. She’s improving, but will need to take another step forward today. King High is the pick. He already has a fairly lofty mark, and looks to have a touch of class about him. The Irish raider Mary

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: MUSSELBURGH
Matt Polley heads to Scotland for his best bets this Monday with selections from Musselburgh to kick-start the week. 15:17 MUSSELBURGH Ski Angel will quite rightly be popular here. A course and distance winner, who has been knocking on the door lately. Never Dark could run well at decent odds, however it might be worth forgiving Fear And Fast latest run in the mud at Hamilton. He comfortably accounted for Ski Angel on his last start here, and has an ideal draw. FEAR AND FA

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: WOLVERHAMPTON & KEMPTON
Matt Polley focuses on Monday evening's action from Kempton and Wolverhampton for his best bets to kick-start the week. 19:00 WOLVERHAMPTON Faeberon is interesting back in trip and has won here. Glen Nevis is nicely handicapped if the first time visors perk him up, but Canvas looks the way to go here. He won off a five pound lower mark at York last autumn, and things haven’t panned out perfectly for him since, however, that’s left him on an attractive mark, and this course

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: BRIGHTON
Pundit Matt Polley aims to kick off the week with some winners as he heads to Brighton for his best bets. 14:40 BRIGHTON An interesting nursery with plenty of exposed two year olds already. One of those is Magical Life. Already a winner over a mile, she’s sure to see this trip out well, and is holding her form quite well. Best Yet ventures into handicap company for the first time off a basement mark, but Mandolin Rain is the pick. The market suggested there was better to c

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: HAMILTON
Matt Polley heads up north to Scotland with action from Hamilton to kick start the week. 14:47 HAMILTON Obviously the Goldie team are usually worth following here and Humble Spark is a big player here taking a drop in grade. Unchartedterritory is a three year old on the improve and he should be thereabouts. Florida Dreams is certainly the most interesting candidate here. He was well punted on his flat handicap debut, but refused to enter the stalls. The main priority at Yor

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: THIRSK & KEMPTON
Matt Polley has been on a rich run of form of late and pinpoints two runners worth following to kick-start the week. 14:51 THIRSK We’re at the time of year where horses can change out of all recognition, and these nurseries are a prime example. Breaking The Habit and Ma Fille De Reve are interesting on handicap debut, however the top weight filly Dissenter already has some decent form in the book and will certainly appreciate this drop back to six furlongs. She should be ru

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: WOLVERHAMPTON
After bagging a double the other week, pundit Matt Polley returns with two runners from Wolverhampton not to ignore this Monday. 17:30 WOLVERHAMPTON There’s an obvious one in here by the name of Lady Of Hay making her nursery debut, but there’s a big chance she’ll be over bet purely on her connections. She is overlooked in favour of the more exposed Sable Island. She ran really well here last time in a slightly better race, but found the sixth furlong a bit far. This trip i

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: RIPON & EPSOM
Matt Polley aims to make the bank holiday a profitable one with selections from Ripon and Epsom this Monday. 15:40 RIPON Fireball is an intriguing runner here. A French important from a top yard could be extremely well handicapped, and any further rainfall should seemingly be fine. Thunder Roar and Milteye will enjoy the ground, however Spoken Truth has been threatening to win a race of this nature for a while, and today could be his day. SPOKEN TRUTH (WIN) 16:05 EPSOM Going

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: MUSSELBURGH & WINDSOR
Matt Polly heads north to Musselburgh and also to Royal Windsor for his best bets to kick start the week. 15:15 MUSSELBURGH A relatively rare selling handicap which looks competitive despite its low grade. Motawaared certainly has enough ability to win a race of this nature, and along with Theme Park who fits the same criteria as the aforementioned are the biggest threats to the selection, which is Titainium. He had tried a variety of trips recently, but this prominent race

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: CATTERICK & WOLVERHAMPTON
Matt Polley picks out two runners not to ignore to kick start the week. 14:15 CATTERICK Most of these can be given a chance, notably Mariner who is good form, but the trip is a slight question mark, and course regular Stellarmasterpiece, who rarely runs bad here. Austrian Theory is the selection here, purely because he’s undeniably well handicapped. This represents a drop in class, and this is a great opportunity for him. AUSTRIAN THEORY (WIN) 18:40 WOLVERHAMPTON A few pot

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: WINDSOR
Matt Polley kicks off the week with his top two tips as he heads to Windsor to pinpoint his best bets. 17:45 WINDSOR Post Rider is interesting if she gets left alone on the lead, along with Just An Hour who likes it here. Surely there is more to come from the unexposed Mythological Star. This three year old half brother to stable stalwart Astro King won comfortably on handicap debut just six days ago and can defy the penalty. MYTHOLOGICAL STAR (WIN) 19:15 WINDSOR Ultra comp

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: RIPON & WINDSOR
Kicking off the week with action from Ripon and Windsor as pundit and in-form tipster Matt Polley gives his best bets for Monday. 15:54 RIPON Some familiar faces line up here, with that feeling of who’s turn will it be this time? Dark Cloud Rising is in form, has won here, and has the best draw. It’s been a long time since Commanche Falls won, but it was off a twenty one pound higher mark, and he’s in decent form. Rousing Encore gets the vote. He’s a very good sprint handicap

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: SOUTHWELL
We kick off the week with two selections from Southwell as pundit Matt Polley pinpoints two runners not to ignore. 15:30 SOUTHWELL There’s a few in here with the potential to be much better that their marks, notably, Roc De Fer and Sun Lord, but none more so than Seraglio Point. This son of Golden Horn is all about stamina. His dam won over this trip and further, and this step up to almost a mile and a half, on a galloping track on handicap debut, should be ideal.

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: AYR & WINDSOR
Matt Polley has been in solid form of late and heads to Ayr and Windsor for his best bets to kick start the week. 16:30 AYR Glasses Up is such an honourable handicapper, especially around here, but whether this slight drop back in trip will be suitable, is questionable. Phantom Shadow ran well upped to this trip last time and has a big chance, but there’s a feeling there’s better to come from Motawaared. This four year old maiden has shown glimmers of a ability up to now, an

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: AYR
We head to Scotland for Monday’s best bets as pubdit Matt Polley pinpoints runners from Ayr he’s backing to kick start the week. 14:00 AYR An intriguing two year old novice, where all five could realistically have winning chances. Two unraced horse from decent yards are unknown quantities, and the other three with experience all ran well on their debuts, with likely improvement to come. The horse that stands out however is Love Rome. He ventured to Newmarket from his Middleha

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: LINGFIELD & AYR
Matt Polley previews the best of Monday's racing action as he pinpoints runners from Lingfield and Ayr to kick start the week. 14:45 LINGFIELD Perfect Nation is likely to be a prohibitive price based on his two year old debut at Windsor. He did race quite freely however, and his effort slightly flattened out over the six furlongs. He should know more this time, and will certainly be on the scene. Cavalier just gets the nod. He went off fav for a decent looking Newbury maide

MONDAY'S RACING TIPS: PONTEFRACT & WINDSOR
Matt Polley kicks off the week with selections from Pontefract and Windsor as he aims to bash the bookies. 16:30 PONTEFRACT Knicks will pop up one day, but has squandered a few good opportunities recently. This could lay between the two three year olds in the field. If you take one piece of Soca Stars form literally behind Naana’s Shadow at Catterick, she would have an outstanding chance, however, Queen Sana gets the vote. Her latest run over course and distance was an exce
