DISCLAIMER: ODDS AND ARTICLE UPDATED 05/08/2018, 17:39.

With no fewer than six meetings on Monday, we have selections and analysis from the best of the Flat action.

16:30 Ripon

Poetic Steps to Win and Each Way @ 5/1 - BET NOW

Ripon is a track that often favours prominent racers, particularly on the round course and there’s a typically tough Mark Johnston runner in the handicap over one mile four furlongs on the card.

Poetic Steps has tried to make the running on several of her recent outings, and while she’s disappointed a little, she may have found the ground too fast at both Lingfield and Newmarket.

The filly finds herself just 1lb above her last winning mark as a result and that success came over a similar trip on similar ground at Musselburgh in May. She’s one of only three three-year-olds in the contest, something that will be in her favour with a useful weight allowance.

Joe Fanning is often seen to his best when allowed to dominate from the front, and with little other pace in the race and a nice low draw (2), he’s expected to be seen to good effect here and she looks like the value bet at the current prices.

Eyecatcher could be the main danger in the line-up after a smart effort over course and distance last time. Camelot progeny have proven to be progressive at three years old, but the gelding is still a maiden and while he gets the services of the in-form Champion Jockey Silvestre De Sousa, his losing run would have to be a concern to any potential backers.

19:15 Carlisle

Gworn to Win and Each Way @ 25/1 - BET NOW

The evening racing at Carlisle is a meeting confined to female riders only and there’s few better than the talented young rider Paula Muir around at the moment.

She gets the call up on Gworn, a horse that is starting to look very well handicapped on the form that saw him win three times in the space of four starts at Ayr last year and he shaped like a return to form may be imminent last time back at his favourite track of Ayr.

The son of Aussie Rules gets his perfect conditions here, with some cut in the ground over his optimum trip and the yard has been amongst the winners in recent weeks. The gelding looks like an each-way play at double figure odds.

20:30 Windsor

Frank Cool to Win and Each Way @ 12/1 - BET NOW

In the finale at Windsor, Frank Cool catches the eye and makes appeal as another each-way proposition. The gelding didn’t have the race run to suit at Lingfield last time out, but he was backed like defeat wasn’t an option that day.

His prior run at Newbury when Toby Eley was in the saddle looks rock solid, and the useful apprentice gets another chance here and is able to claim 7lb off his back.

The wind operation the horse had earlier in the season is seemingly having a positive effect and he may be worth following as he attempts to progress through the handicap system.
