Monday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Spectested in the 1420 at Wolverhampton (all times GMT).

The going at Hereford is soft after a dry night with a very light frost.

A seven-race card gets underway at 1410 and Nicky Henderson-trained Brankley Boy is the likely favourite for the opening Novices' Hurdle.

This half-brother to Lady Rebecca caught the eye when finishing third at Bangor in February, returning from a two-year absence.

The main danger could be Maletton, who won two listed handicaps at Auteuil last autumn before joining Venetia Williams' yard.

The going is standard for the eight-race card at Lingfield.

Garnett is chasing a hat-trick in the opener at 1400 but might find one too good in the shape of Annus Iucundus, who is also looking for a third successive win.

Mad Carew has a decent chance in the 1530.

Trainer Gary Moore's stable has been in fine form of late and his six-year-old was an unlucky beaten favourite in the corresponding race last year.

The going is also standard for the all-weather card at Wolverhampton.

Michael Bell's Barking Mad takes a drop in class for the claiming stakes at 1550.

He finished second on his sole run on the Polytrack surface two years ago and looks well-weighted for Monday's race.

Spectested should go well at a decent price in the Amateur Riders handicap at 1420.

Jockey Mark Smith was on board for a course win over two miles earlier this season.

Since then he has had two runs over a mile-and-a-half and the step up to one mile and six furlongs will be far more to his liking.
