Monday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Yourman in the 1600 at Newton Abbot (all times BST).

Monday's racing comes from Ripon, Newton Abbot, Carlisle and Windsor.

The ground at Ripon has dried out following a dry night and is now good with good to soft places.

Robert Winston is the man to follow as he bids to win his first jockey's championship. The rider has three rides before travelling to Carlisle for four more in the evening.

Winston's best chance of success is Silidan in the 1420, who made a successful start to his career with a smooth success at Newcastle.

Newton Abbot hosts a six-race card and the ground is good to soft with soft places following 2mm of rain overnight.

Timmy Murphy and his boss Martin Pipe have been in great form recently and the pair should have another winner with Yourman in the 1600.

On face value, the gelding's record does not appeal but a closer inspection of the form gives the horse an outstanding chance.

Three runs ago he looked certain to win but fell and since then has lost his confidence.

He has now not raced for over 100 days so has been given plenty of time to recover.

It is ladies' night at both Carlisle and Windsor.

Carlisle begins at 1820 and the ground is good with good to firm places.

Windsor starts at 1805 and their ground is softer following 7mm of rain overnight it is now officially good to soft with soft places.

Musical Romance looks a stand out selection in the opening race.
