Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Monday including Punchestown fancies

• Katie Midwinter has selections at Punchestown and Lingfield

• Likeable mare could improve for yard debut run

• Grey is ready to strike again on the all-weather

Punchestown, 13:18 - Back Mo Ghille Mar E/W @ 11/112.00

Five-year-old mare Mo Ghille Mar, who is rated 88 on the Flat, remains capable of showing further improvement over obstacles in only her fifth hurdling start.

She had shaped with some potential in this sphere with a third at Fairyhouse to now 133-rated Bacchanalian for former trainer Jessica Harrington, enjoying success on the Flat since, and could improve for her first run for her current yard at Tramore when equipped with a first-time tongue-tie.

Now trained by Shark Hanlon, Mo Ghille Mar is a mare with potential and could be capable of making her presence felt from a rating of 104. There could be more to come from the daughter of Zoffany who has shown she possesses plenty of class on a going day previously.

Lingfield, 15:10 - Back Monks Mead @ 5/16.00

Five-year-old gelding Monks Mead performed with great credit when beaten only a length-and-a-half by Royal Jet in fourth over this course-and-distance last month. He was able to outrun his price of 20/121.00 on that occasion, returning from a 120-day break having been withdrawn on a few occasions in the months prior.

During last summer, Monks Mean performed well at Brighton, achieving form figures of 2333 in four runs at the venue. Although he was unable to get his head in front, he proved he was in good order and capable of posing a threat in his races, often making the frame including in a 14-runner Classified Stakes contest. 

This race could suit the five-year-old grey who is proven over the distance and has some course form. The Mark Usher-trained gelding could be worth keeping the faith in as he seeks a third win in his 30th appearance under George Bass.

Punchestown, 15:18 - Back Money Heist E/W @ 11/112.00

In his second start for Gary McGill, Money Heist is one to note. He can put in a bold bid from a mark of 108 with 7lb claimer Dara McGill in the saddle if able to put his latest effort behind him. 

When last seen, in his first run for his new yard having switched from the Gavin Cromwell stable, Money Heist struggled to make an impression in the Naas contest won by River Vale, despite being sent off as the 4/15.00 favourite. He had previously put in an impressive performance when second to Drop The Anchor in a 20-runner Fairyhouse handicap, beaten only a length-and-three-quarters on that occasion when rated 103. 

If able to replicate that level of performance, Money Heist should be able to pose a threat from a workable mark. He is yet to be fully exposed and could take advantage of a mark which is 13lb lower than his chase rating of 121.

Making appeal at the weights, the nine-year-old, who makes his 20th start under Rules, could prove worth sticking with and is one to note in this 2m6f race.
