Monday Racing Tips: Timeform's three to back including a nap selection at Catterick

15:45, Musselburgh - Rosemary May interesting off reduced mark

4 (7)

Rosemary May (Ire)

• J: S. B. Kirrane
• T: Tim Easterby
• F: 1888-0893

• SBK 13/2
• EXC 1000

Rosemary May has mostly struggled in handicaps since winning a maiden at Ayr last spring, but Tim Easterby's filly showed much better signs when stepped up in trip at Ripon last week.

A return to front running evidently served her well, though she proved no match in the end for a couple of three-year-olds, finishing third to the progressive winner Eloquencia.

Stepping up another couple of furlongs here, Rosemary May doesn't have any unexposed rivals to deal with this time, and she's clear top in the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings, being able to race from a 5 lb lower mark than last time.

16:00, Catterick - Lots to like about Diamont Katie

1 (5)

Diamont Katie (Ire)

• J: Jack Nicholls
• T: K. R. Burke
• F: 54-585123

• SBK 11/4
• EXC 3.95

Fresh from saddling Venetian Sun to win the Commonwealth Cup last week, Karl Burke has the 'Hot Trainer' flag and has a good chance of getting a second win of the season from Middleham Park's filly Diamont Katie.

Following a breathing operation, she bolted up at Pontefract in April under 5 lb claimer Jack Nicholls who has kept the ride and partnered her to a couple of placed efforts since.

However, she wasn't seen to best effect after a slow start last time but finished well for third back at Pontefract, earning the 'Sectional Timing' as well as the 'Horse In Focus' flag. That gives her leading claims here.

20:40, Brighton - Prefer The Sister can build on promising start for new stable

6 (5)

Prefer The Sister (Ire)

• J: Christian Howarth
• T: James Owen
• F: 6337-0742

• SBK 4/1
• EXC 3.2

Prefer The Sister has her quirks but she looks yet another example of one to have benefited from the switch to James Owen's yard.

Previously with Matt Crawley, Prefer The Sister was slowly away when dropped back to six furlongs at Yarmouth for her stable debut but earned the 'Horse In Focus' flag, shaping like one to side with next time.

She kept on for second behind Chasing Gold and looks ready to return to winning ways stepping back up in trip and with the 'Horses For Courses' flag, having run well on her only previous start at Brighton.
