Here’s a quick look at our picks for Monday’s races, you can view results and race cards using Planet Sport’s live centre. There’s a bit more detail on our top three highlights below the list of tips.

2:40 p.m. (Epsom) Chartwell House

15:15 (Epsom) Larado
Larado can come back refreshed in the Garden Cider Elite Handicap at Epsom.
A six-length winner at home to the Derby last September, Larado had a busy spell in June, running honorably three times before looking like himself at Nottingham in July.
His rider signaled he needed a break from the stewards’ investigation that followed that day and Mick Appleby duly gave him a month on the sidelines, with Larado expecting that to happen. improved.
15:50 (Epsom) Quick Stages
Rod and Patrick Millman can team up with Fast Steps to good effect in the Garden Cider Amateurs Derby Handicap.
Horse and rider have twice finished second and won once in their three outings together, giving full confidence that they can hit the mark again in this contest.
Saratoga Gold is to be respected after the victories, just like Thibault who returns to this environment after having had success over hurdles.
16:25 (Epsom) Arenas Del Tiempo
Arenas Del Tiempo is another with proven course form before the Garden Cider Handicap.
She didn’t seem to stay within a mile and a half on the all-weather Kempton in her last run, so it makes sense to go back 10 furlongs here.
Tartan Chief is able to get involved on the trading side, while handicapped newbie Change Of Fortune deserves to be watched in the market.
