TODAY’S TIPS (MONDAY)

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 to be a case of who handles conditions the best here, with runners likely to head towards the stands.

Almekarem is in good heart currently, as is Perfect Scoundrel, but the ground has to be a concern for both.

A chance is taken with Hello Cotai. He has some decent form at the venue, and is one of very few in the race likely to handle conditions.

HELLO COTAI (WIN)
