'A 7lb rise could prove lenient' - find out Harry Wilson's tips for eight races on ITV4 on Saturday
Our tipster marks your card for the ITV4 action from Lingfield and Ascot
Harry Wilson returns with his advice for eight races live on ITV from Lingfield, Ascot and Haydock on Saturday
1.35 Haydock
Pertemps Network Swinton Handicap Hurdle, 1m7½f
Harry's tip: Dance And Glance
One who catches the eye at the bottom of the weights who's sure to benefit for a good gallop is Dance And Glance, who gets the services of Harry Cobden for the first time. He was unlucky on his handicap debut at Bangor last time, as the enterprisingly ridden Bareback Jack had already kicked and gone clear when Dance And Glance got daylight, having had to wait for room round the bend. He closed all the way to the line that day, so should be suited to Haydock’s long straight, while the better ground should help, given he’s 3-3 on ground described as good. Cobden is a fantastic judge of pace and has a 26 per cent strike-rate when teaming up with Anthony Honeyball.

1.50 Lingfield
William Hill Top Price Guarantee Handicap, 1m2f
Harry's tip: Dashinwhitesargent
Dashinwhitesargent is the type of horse that Hughie Morrison does well with and he looked like he'd continue to improve after winning a 1m2f handicap at Epsom in August on his first go at the trip. He hasn't had things in his favour since, though, getting bogged down in heavy ground next time before not seeing out 1m4f the next twice. He finds himself just 1lb above his last winning mark. The shorter trip, coupled with the drop into Class 4 company, should see him get back to winning ways.
2.05 Ascot
Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% British EBF Fillies' Handicap, 1m
Harry's tip: Arisaig
Arisaig kept on well from the back in the Newbury Spring Cup on her reappearance last month – when she was entitled to need the run. She looked unlucky not to finish closer in a Listed race at Goodwood last week, when stuck on the rail with no room to make a challenge. Her best form has come on sharper tracks, but she ran well in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and could just prove too good for these rivals.
2.25 Lingfield
William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap, 1m3½f
Harry's tip: Candyman Stan
Candyman Stan bolted up on his reappearance, controlling the pace from the front before powering clear to score by five lengths. That was the first time he has raced over 1m4f on a quick surface, so he's open to improvement in these conditions. A 7lb rise could prove lenient.
2.40 Ascot
Schweppes Victoria Cup, 7f
Harry's tip: Gleneagle Bay
Gleneagle Bay has caught the eye on a few occasions, notably when travelling strongly in the Irish Lincoln on his reappearance but just failing to see out the mile on soft ground having raced keenly. His two starts over seven furlongs on good ground have seen him beaten just a length and a quarter when trying to concede 8lb to a horse now rated 93 and go down by a head in a Premier handicap at Leopardstown. His mark of 92 looks workable.
3.00 Lingfield
William Hill Lingfield Derby Trial Stakes (Listed), 1m3½f
Harry's tip: Prince Of The Seas
Prince Of The Seas looked like he failed to handle Epsom in the Blue Riband Trial on his reappearance, but he ran well on the figures (RPR of 96; second highest in this field) and was doing all his best work at the finish. His Sandown win as a juvenile is strong form and he's bred to be useful, being by Sea The Stars out of the smart mare Sweet Firebird. He's a half-brother to the useful Ayrad (dual Listed winner) and should improve for the extra distance.
3.15 Ascot
Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% Handicap, 1m4f
Harry's tip: Ocean Of Dreams
Ocean Of Dreams had three starts for Aidan O'Brien, winning impressively on heavy ground on debut before showing he handled a better surface when fourth in the Gowran Classic in June last year. That was a fine effort considering he was conceding 5lb to the 90-rated winner and 9lb to the 95-rated second. He shaped like he would get much further than that 1m1½f trip. He improved on a poor stable debut for Archie Watson when third in a Class 2 1m2f contest at Pontefract last month, again shaping as if he wanted at least 1m4f. A 1lb drop leaves him on an attractive rating of 87, running over a more adequate trip.
3.35 Lingfield
William Hill Chartwell Fillies' Stakes (Group 3), 7f
Harry's tip: Jabaara
Jabaara progressed well last summer, winning a pair of Listed races, being first past the post in the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, as well as chasing home the smart Porta Fortuna in the Group 1 Falmouth. She hasn't had a lot of luck in her two starts this year, meeting trouble on her reappearance before being caught out wide in a top-level contest last month. However, she has the best form on offer and can leave those behind her now dropped in class and returned to 7f.
