'He looks well treated off just 1lb higher' - Harry Wilson returns with his tips for every race on ITV on Saturday
Our tipster marks your card for the Premier action at Ascot and York

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all eight races live on ITV from Ascot and York on Saturday
1.40 Ascot
Sodexo Live! Princess Margaret Stakes (Group 3), 6f
Harry's tip: Flowerhead
Flowerhead outran her 100-1 odds to finish second in the Queen Mary last time, running the quickest final furlong and faring best of those on the far side. The winner and fifth have franked the form since, and she could be even better over this extra furlong.
2.00 York
Sky Bet Dash Handicap, 6f
Harry's tip: Pocklington
Pocklington was a huge eyecatcher on his handicap debut at York's Ebor meeting last year, staying on powerfully in the closing stages to be beaten just three lengths over half a furlong less. He made a cracking comeback from 311 days off when going down by just a short head at Newcastle last month and looks well treated off just 1lb higher.

2.20 Ascot
Longines Valiant Stakes (Group 3), 1m
Harry's tip: Chantilly Lace
It’s hard to get away from the class-dropping Chantilly Lace, who ran a fine race to finish fifth in the 1,000 Guineas on her reappearance before filling the same position in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. She still has the potential for better after just three starts and looks a big player with her sights lowered.
2.40 York
Sky Bet York Stakes (Group 2), 1m2½f
Harry's tip: Almaqam
Almaqam showed his class when beating subsequent Prince of Wales’s Stakes winner and Eclipse runner-up Ombudsman with something to spare in the Brigadier Gerard when last seen in May and looks destined for Group 1 targets in the near future. He has conditions to suit and should be hard to beat.
3.00 Ascot
Moet & Chandon International Handicap, 7f
Harry's tip: Lord Bertie
Lord Bertie was noted doing good late work at Doncaster on his penultimate start and had an excuse for last time, as he was inconvenienced by a loose hood. He looks well treated now returning to the scene of his last win with that headgear removed and the booking of Jamie Spencer is eyecatching.

3.20 York
Sky Bet 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' Handicap, 5f
Harry's tip: Fortunate Star
The fitting of a tongue-tie has led to a resurgence from Fortunate Star, who should arguably arrive chasing a hat-trick as he looked unlucky to be picked up late on last time – his rider reported he hung left-handed and needed correcting. The form of his previous Haydock win has been franked, and he still looks well handicapped off this 6lb higher mark.
3.35 Ascot
Betfred Handicap, 1m
Harry's tip: Bullet Point
The Royal Hunt Cup was won by a potential future Group horse, so runner-up Bullet Point ran a cracker to go down by just three-quarters of a length to My Cloud, having made the running on his side of the track. A 3lb rise for that looks more than fair.
4.10 Ascot
King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Group 1), 1m4f
Harry's tip: Calandagan
Jan Brueghel got the better of Calandagan by half a length in the Coronation Cup, but the selection was held up while the winner benefited from a huge bias towards those who raced prominently. Calandagan put in rapid closing sectionals to land the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud next time, comfortably seeing off last year’s Arc runner-up Aventure, and can reverse form with his old rival at a track that suits him well.
