14:20 (Ayr) Monsieur Kodi
Monsieur Kodi can continue his profitable campaign with victory in the Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap at Ayr.
The four-year-old counts a course and distance success among his five career wins and he has a consistent profile overall.
He is two from four this season, with triumphs at Musselburgh and Thirsk sandwiching a couple of sound efforts in defeat.
The handicapper handed Monsieur Kodi a 3lb rise following his most recent half-length verdict, but that might not be enough to stop him adding to his tally in Scotland.
16:05 (Ayr) La Pulga
A step back up in trip might do the trick for La Pulga in the Follow @racingtv On Twitter Handicap.
Charlie Johnston's charge was thoroughly impressive over this mile and five furlongs at Hamilton last month and has since had to make do with minor honours on a couple of occasions over a mile and a half.
With slightly easier ground also likely to put more of an emphasis on stamina, La Pulga looks well placed to get back to winning ways.
14:05 (Worcester) Chief Black Robe
Chief Black Robe looks poised to complete a four-timer in the Richard Newland Racing Novices' Handicap Chase at Worcester.
The seven-year-old has not looked back since joining Fergal O'Brien, scoring by 27 lengths at Market Rasen on his stable debut before winning twice at Newton Abbot by 17 and 18 lengths respectively.
He has struck up a fruitful partnership with amateur rider Tom Broughton and while an 8lb hike makes life tougher, Chief Black Robe will again take some stopping.
16:50 (Worcester) Ruby's Reward
Ruby's Reward has shown an improved level of form on her last couple of starts and the booking of Harry Cobden might help to make the difference required for her to gain a second career victory.
Karavomylos got off the mark at Uttoxeter on his most recent outing and has to enter calculations off a 3lb higher mark. Racing Spirit and Ya Know Yaseff appeal most of the remainder.
Full list of selections for the running on Monday afternoon, July 10:
AYR: 2.20 Land Lover, 2.55 MONSIEUR KODI (NAP), 3.30 Berry Edge, 4.05 La Pulga, 4.40 Touchwood, 5.15 The Caltonian.
