Nap of the Day: No More Bolero can go well for in-form Cobden

There are five UK meetings on Monday with a mix of jumps and all-weather action in store.

National Hunt cards come from Sedgefield, Kempton and Ludlow across the afternoon, while a couple of mammoth nine-race offerings on the Tapeta surfaces are scheduled at Newcastle and Wolverhampton. Monday's Nap of the Day could continue a rich vein of form for Harry Cobden as he's fancied to get a first win over hurdles on No More Bolero at Ludlow.

13:35 Ludlow Odds

Harry Cobden signed off his weekend in the best style possible as the former champion jockey galvanised Square Du Roule to win the finale at Exeter, completing a treble on the card for the rider after earlier wins for Tenter Le Tout and Tashan.

That made it four winners across the weekend after Absolutely Doyen bagged a novices' handicap hurdle at Ascot on Saturday for trainer Paul Nicholls.

Cobden is enjoying lots of outside rides this season, with David Pipe, Chester Williams and Emma Lavelle all providing winners in recent days.

He teams up with James Owen in the Racing To School Handicap Hurdle at Ludlow on Monday, one of three rides for Cobden at the Shropshire layout.

NO MORE BOLERO is a three-time winner on turf but yet to get his head in front over obstacles (0-8).

His two most recent outings on the Flat were disappointing but he did go close at Chester in September over 2m on good ground when just getting caught on the post by Marbuzet.

Before that, he finished fourth over hurdles at Fontwell (2m1½f, good to soft) in August on his most recent attempt in this code.

That was his first run over hurdles for this yard and he lines up here off the same mark of 84 with the drop back in trip likely to suit.

Bluenose Belle signed off for the summer with wins at Fontwell and Market Rasen and is a danger now back from a break – despite being rated 7lb higher – while Dexter went close at Sedgefield this month back over hurdles for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero but has top weight to defy this time.

Still a six-year-old, No More Bolero has time on his side and could have more to come over timber for the Owen team.

Cobden has a solid strike-rate for this yard, coming in at 27 per cent (17-63), and after his excellent afternoon at Exeter on Sunday, the rider's week can get off to a flyer at Ludlow in what isn't a strong race.
