Steve Ryder is back with three free betting selections on Monday.
3:53 Windsor
Trefor (1pt)
Best price 4/1.
Nad Alshiba Green has run well on both of his starts for Clive Cox but preference instead goes to TREFOR (best priced at 4/1) who has shown his best at this track. The Charlie Hills trained five-year-old has form figures of 11542 at this track with all three defeats coming by distances of 1 ½ lengths or less.
Trefor shaped as though he would step forward markedly for his reappearance at Goodwood over an inadequate trip of 5f after a 230-day break. This step back up in trip to 6f and the return to Windsor will suit and he looks the one to beat in this competitive contest.

4:25 Windsor
Auld Toon Loon (1pt)
Best price 9/2.
Topweight AULD TOON LOON (best priced at 9/2) caught the eye when an unlucky 8th at Chester last time and he looks to be underestimated here based on that effort. The Tom Dascombe trained seven-year-old was slowly away that day and caught back further than ideal before making headway meeting traffic late on.
Auld Toon Loon had previously won over this course and distance on his final start last season off a mark of 95 and he still looks competitively handicapped here off only a 2lb higher mark.
5:30 Windsor
Takeitorleaveit (1pt)
Best price 3/1.
Mertoun could prove incredibly well handicapped off an opening mark of 50 but preference instead goes to the consistent TAKEITORLEAVE IT (best priced at 3/1). His trainer Jonny Portman remains in good form with two winners and three placed efforts from his previous ten runners in the past fortnight.
Takeitorleaveit finished well beaten on his three qualifying runs before showing dramatic improvement to win on his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces in September at Bath. He ran with credit on his final start last season before making a winning reappearance at the same track, winning by a neck off only a 2lb lower mark. He looks sure to run well.
