Sky Sports Racing rolls out a packed Monday card across Southwell, Windsor and Wolverhampton. At Windsor, the Sprint Series Qualifier offers a £10,468 purse, with George Baker’s Desert Cop aiming to break a winless streak that dates back to a Grade One triumph in Bahrain last March. Zoulu Chief and Badri complete a strong three‑horse field.

Southwell features Dan Skelton’s lightly‑raced Louis Veron, making a second start for Coral Gold Cup owner Bryan Drew. The gelding has impressed in training, and connections believe his recent form could translate into a strong showing against seasoned rivals such as King's Scholar and Sense Of Reason. A win would cement his reputation as a rising National Hunt prospect.

Wolverhampton closes the day with Lady Milton targeting a fourth consecutive victory in the Fillies' Handicap. After a successful return at Lingfield, the Portman‑trained mare carries a modest handicap despite a six‑pound rise, suggesting she remains a dominant force. Eastern Veil and a lineup of proven winners add depth, but Lady Milton looks set to finish the card on a high note.
