Harry Wilson has struck with 7-2 and 4-1 winners - find out his remaining tips for the ITV action on Saturday

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all six races from Ascot on Saturday, plus the four live races on ITV from Newmarket and Redcar . . .

1.15 Ascot
BetMGM British EBF October Stakes (Listed), 7f

Harry's tip: Nardra

The drop to 6f on quick ground wouldn't have suited Nardra last time, but she looked mightily impressive when romping home on soft on her debut and was deemed good enough for a Classic trial in April, so is clearly thought of highly. This well-bred filly still has plenty of potential and can bounce back after a break.

1.30 Newmarket
British EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap, 1m2f

Harry's tip: Blessed Star

Blessed Star ran her best race on her only start over a mile and a quarter at York in August, a performance that can be marked up given she was repeatedly denied a clear passage behind a front-running winner, who has gone in again since. She's just 1lb higher and has more to come at this trip.

1.50 Ascot
BetMGM Rous Stakes (Listed), 5f

Harry's tip: Cover Up

There are a few pace angles in this and a strongly run race would suit Cover Up, who has run to his career-best turf RPR on his last two starts, most recently when a good fourth in a Group 3. He is a course-and-distance winner for whom this represents a drop in class and easing conditions hold no fears.

2.05 Newmarket
£150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, 7f

Harry's tip: Jel Pepper

Jel Pepper boasts strong form, having finished a good third behind subsequent Vintage Stakes winner Zavateri in the Group 2 July Stakes. He hasn't had things fall his way in two sales races since, but the fitting of a tongue-tie and step up to 7f could help and he'll be suited by rain.

2.25 Ascot
BetMGM Cumberland Lodge Stakes (Group 3), 1m4f

Harry's tip: Tenability

Hamish and Al Qareem are likely to go well, but a chance is taken on rapid improver Tenability. He is unbeaten in four starts since wearing a tongue-tie, with his last three wins coming over course and distance, most recently on soft ground, and it's hard to know where his ceiling lies.

2.40 Newmarket
BetMGM Sun Chariot Stakes (Group 1), 1m

Harry's tip: Lady Of Spain

Cinderella's Dream and Fallen Angel are proven at this level, but it was hard not to be impressed by Lady Of Spain's Group 3 win at Sandown in August. She made it 5-5 that day on her first turf start and is entitled to take a step forward, given that she had not raced for 255 days. She's unexposed and has more to come.

3.00 Ascot
John Guest Racing Bengough Stakes (Group 3), 6f

Harry's tip: Annaf

Annaf is winless in Britain since landing this in 2023, but RPRs of 113, 114 and 112 this year confirm he retains all his ability. He won’t mind if conditions get testing, given he has form figures of 319 (ninth in a Group 1) on soft ground or worse, and can take advantage of this drop in class.

3.20 Redcar
William Hill Two Year Old Trophy (Listed), 6f

Harry's tip: Isle Of Fernandez

Isle Of Fernandez has proved suited by softer conditions, comfortably winning a Carlisle novice in between chasing home subsequent May Hill winner Aylin at Goodwood in July and finishing third in a Group 3 at Ayr last time. She led for most of the way that day and should make a bold bid.

3.35 Ascot
BetMGM Challenge Cup, 7f

Harry's tip: Hickory

There looks to be better pace from the low-drawn horses, which should suit Hickory, who landed his second course-and-distance win of the season in a conditions event last time. He gave 4lb to a subsequent winner, who is now rated 13lb higher, and looks underestimated by a 3lb rise.

4.10 Ascot
Ascot Racecourse Supports Berks County FC Handicap, 5f

Harry's tip: Rosario

Rosario has caught the eye on his last three starts, most recently when faring much the best of those who raced on the near side when a fast-finishing third in the Portland. He's still 1lb below his last winning mark and handled an easier surface well as a juvenile, so everything looks right if breaking better.
