Starting with Ayr Racecourse, start times on Monday are 12.30, 1.00, 1.30, 2.05, 2.35, 3.05 and 3.35. The 12:30 race overview: An interesting opener where Andytown, Save the Bacon and Compromiznotension look three to concentrate on and the vote goes to Andytown. Nicky Richards' runner dropped back from two-and-a-half miles to this sort of trip when runner-up to Tot O'Whiskey at Hexham last time and in doing so showed improved form. Some cut clearly suits and that form was good in the context of this contest so with likely improvement he gets the nod. Save The Bacon is another potential improver and coming from the Tony Martin yard he is very much respected. He has had a long break and changed yards since finishing runner-up at Perth in May, and he looks likely to go well. Compromiznotension is rated 79 on the level where he represented Ian Semple. Now with Howard Johnson, his hurdles debut was respectable enough at Kelso and if he truly sees out this trip, as one who was really a miler on the flat, then he could be thereabouts. Greenbelt is another to look out for after going well for a long way in an above average Carlisle contest, but Andytown is the one for us. Click here to bet on the race or see all odds.

At Plumpton Racecourse, on Monday we've got 7 starts: at 12.20, 12.50, 1.20, 1.55, 2.25, 2.55 and at 3.25. Here is the preview and betting odds on the 12:20 race at Plumpton: Daltaban, Caoba, Bathwick Breeze and Hawk Gold make the shortlist here with Bathwick Breeze the selection. Hawk Gold was a modest maiden on the Flat rated 47 but ran a blinder first time over hurdles, finishing a close runner-up at a big price. That was only a claiming contest but he is capable of playing a part here as he clearly jumps well. Daltaban was a winner on the Flat in France but showed his first signs of ability over hurdles when a fast finishing second at Folkestone. He appeared to need every yard of the two and a quarter miles that day so this reversion to the minimum trip may not suit. Caoba looks one of Philip Hobbs' lesser lights, and she was only placed in a claimer on the Flat in France. She was in mid division when unfancied on her hurdling bow and is taken on. Bathwick Breeze tried to make all the running last time before fading in the closing stages behind Yellow Jersey but had earlier beaten subsequent winner Serabad by a convincing four lengths. He is taking on some modest performers here and Bathwick Breeze can resume winning ways. See more odds at Bet 365.

And finally, the Wolverhampton Racecourse will hold six races on Monday: at 1.10, 1.45, 2.15, 2.45, 3.15 and at 3.45. Here are the odds and betting preview of the Wolverhampton 1.10 race: A trappy contest gets proceedings underway but something has to win and the principals look to be Ai Hawa, Almora Guru and Komreyev Star and the vote is given to Ai Hawa. The selection won well last time out when beating Sion Hill, he again has conditions to suit and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Almora Guru rates the main danger on his latest third behind Arctic Desert his yard continue ibn good form and he will not be far away. Komreyev Star is another that could go well as he has dropped to a handy mark but he is becomming hard to win with. Keon is another that could go well but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the others Wizby has the ability to go close off this kind of mark but does not always like to use it and with this in mind for the winner we return to Ai Hawa to small stakes.
