Horse Racing Tips: That’s Nice for debut win over fences
Heavy rain over the weekend means Monday's racing programme includes an extra Irish treat with Navan rescheduled. Their card includes two Grade 2 contests and they are joined in Britain by jumps action from Plumpton, Exeter and Leicester as well as the evening all-weather card from Newcastle.
My horse racing tips from across the cards includes an exciting mare for tip-top connections at Exeter.

14:20 Plumpton - Listentoyourheart @ 11/4
Paul Nicholls enjoyed a nice winner at Cheltenham on Friday with No Drama This End and the Ditcheat handler has his string in good form with a 24 per-cent strike-rate across recent weeks.
He and Harry Cobden combine with Nardaran in this Old Gold Racing Handicap Hurdle as the 4YO goes for his third win on the trot after successes here (C&D) and at Sandown.
He's got a 7lb penalty now and must prove himself as effective over this increased trip. That could open the door for Dan Skelton's mare LISTENTOYOURHEART to score under Tristan Durrell.
She's a Listed winner against her own sex and ran a sound race when fourth in the Welsh Champion Hurdle on her comeback last month. That was a hot race and she is well worth another crack at this trip in this lesser contest on paper.

15:00 Exeter - That's Nice @ 13/8
Nicky Henderson sends out his mare THAT'S NICE for her chasing debut in this handicap chase over an extended two-miles-and-three-furlongs at Exeter and she could be good enough to go in under Nico de Boinville.
The daughter of Walk In The Park scored in her only point-to-point in February last year for Derek O'Connor and went 2-3 over hurdles last season after being snapped up by JP McManus and moved to Seven Barrows.
Her only defeat came at Cheltenham in December in a four-runner novice and, given how quickly the engine cut out, it's safe to assume something wasn't quite right.
She bounced back at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) in January and has been off since. She's likely to be well schooled over fences and a mark of 126 could be within reach on her handicap bow.

18:40 Newcastle - Wonderbolt @ 7/1
Karl Burke's team are in scintillating form, boasting a 42 per-cent strike-rate across recent weeks (5-12) and another winner could be in the offing with the filly WONDERBOLT.
The daughter of Wootton Bassett twice won handicaps on the grass at Newmarket in August over 7f/1m and could soon have more to offer on synthetics.
She was a touch too keen at Southwell over a mile last month and her finishing effort was poor, but if Pierre-Louis Jamin can get her to settle better in the early part of this race, with frontrunners Donna Nook and Bernalda potentially offering some early cover, she can do better.
