Carl Harris is confident of a pair of winners today

Musselburgh stages the best of the action on Monday and when studying the form two horses jumped out at me. I think I have two very strong bets for you on an otherwise mediocre Monday.

I genuinely think that Dramatic Solo (3.20) should be clear favourite in the market and as a result we are getting pretty good value at the current mark of [3.75]. Alan Jarvis' filly was a course and distance winner two starts ago, off a mark of 65 and was then beaten last time out in an amateur riders race. When rating handicappers I usually disregard amateur races, unless they finished well behind and we can do just that with Dramatic Solo. Up only four pounds, Martin Lane is able to claim his full five pounds allowance, so she is hardly badly treated for her last win. I think she is well handicapped and should win.

Despite my strong feelings on Dramatic Solo, Spirit of Coniston (5.20) is the best bet of the day. It is a case of horses for courses, with his best form coming at Musselburgh and Catterick, a very similar track, where he won readily two outings ago. That was followed up by a run at Chepstow, but back on a more suitable track and with the excellent Philip Makin in the saddle, Spirit of Conniston is the one to be on in what is a very winnable five furlong handicap.
