Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Monday including 20/1 Windsor fancy

Ballinrobe, 19:27 - Back Cause I Like You E/W @ 9/110.00

9 (8)

Cause I Like You (Ire)

• J: L. T. McAteer
• T: Michael Mulvany, Ireland
• F:

Dandy Man filly Cause I Like You caught the eye in a couple of Dundalk defeats during the spring but has since failed to build on those promising all-weather efforts in two subsequent runs. Whilst most of her form is on an artificial surface, it's too early to give up on the filly on Turf, and there could be more to come from her.

Whilst she remains a maiden in her 12th career start, still seeking a first success, she has shaped with some promise and could be worth keeping the faith in. Her dam Diamond Rio won a mile-and-a-quarter maiden at the Curragh and has produced two winners on the Turf already.

The Michael Mulvany-trained contender could be capable of getting off the mark and is one to note each-way with cheekpieces reapplied along with her usual tongue-tie.

Windsor, 20:20 - Back The Feminine Urge E/W @ 20/121.00

1 (1)

The Feminine Urge (Ire)

• J: Rossa Ryan
• T: Grace Harris
• F:

Top weight The Feminine Urge should shape better for a drop in class following a couple of modest efforts at Bath and Newbury. She finished third in this class on her seasonal reappearance in April, when making her debut for Grace Harris having left the George Scott operation, and is 5lb lower than that creditable outing here.

The course-and-distance winner won from a 5lb higher mark here last season, before doubling up from a 1lb higher rating of 66 last summer. She's on a lenient mark of 60 at this level and should be capable of making her presence felt under Rossa Ryan.

Windsor, 20:50 - Back Feisty Minx E/W @ 6/17.00

2 (11)

Feisty Minx

• J: Kieran Shoemark
• T: Amanda Perrett
• F:

Three-year-old filly Feisty Minx remains a maiden following six starts but has caught the eye so far this season. She was beaten only a length in fourth at Kempton on reappearance last month, on handicap debut, before staying on into third at Goodwood when last seen. 

Dropping in class here in calmer waters, the daughter of Territories could fare better and be good enough to make the frame. She's potentially on a workable rating given she has been somewhat competitive from a higher mark previously, and, in her seventh career outing, she could put in a bold bid for Amanda Perrett under Kieran Shoemark.

Windsor, 20:50 - Back Palace Artois E/W @ 15/28.50

6 (10)

Palace Artois

• J: Tom Marquand
• T: William Haggas
• F:

William Haggas-trained Palace Artois is an interesting contender who could be capable of showing further improvement in only her second handicap start. She wasn't disgraced on handicap debut at Doncaster when last seen, sticking to the task late on under David Egan, but was well beaten and further improvement is necessary.

First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers and there could be more to come from the Palace Pier filly who is out of Group One-winning Intricately. She appears to be learning on the job and looks a work in progress currently, but she's entitled to come on for her previous experiences and could fare better under Tom Marquand in this mile contest for an in-form yard.
