With just two meetings on Monday to keep punters entertained here are our best bets for the day.

NAP

Craven Bay has demonstrated notable improvement since joining a new yard, excelling in staying handicap hurdles. With victories at Warwick and Hereford, followed by a close second at Fontwell, this horse has consistently performed well on good to soft ground. Craven Bay's recent form suggests the potential for further progress, making it a respected contender in this race at Kempton.

NB

El Vigaro has found a new stride, having recently placed second at Uttoxeter on good ground before clinching a victory on a return visit. This horse has been raised 5lb but remains in form, and conditions seem favorable. El Vigaro's ability to perform well on good ground positions him as a strong contender in this Ludlow race.

TREBLE

Touchwoodexpress has made a successful transition to chasing, highlighted by a decisive win at Huntingdon over 2m7f on good ground and a respectable second place at Warwick over 3m1f. Despite a 5lb rise, Touchwoodexpress shows promise for further improvement and is well-suited to slower ground. With a trainer who has previously won this race, this horse represents a significant threat in Ludlow.

Remember to gamble responsibly.
