ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the eight races on ITV on Saturday

12.50 Epsom (ITV)
Betfred Diomed Stakes, Group 3 ,1m½f

Charlie Appleby trained the runner-up in this race 12 months ago and fields the best horse this time in Highland Avenue, who was third to Derby-winning stablemate Adayar last time out. Regal Reality and the lightly raced Kolsai take him on.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: KOLSAI

Unexposed three-year-old who gets a big weight-for-age allowance; bred to rate higher still

1.30 Epsom (ITV)
Betfred Derby, Group 1, 1m4f

The most famous jockey has his final ride in the most famous Classic. Frankie Dettori will partner Arrest in hope of a dream win but they are up against outstanding juvenile Auguste Rodin, who looks to bounce back from his Guineas flop for Aidan O'Brien. Military Order runs for Godolphin and Passenger will bid to justify the £85,000 fee paid to supplement him.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: MILITARY ORDER

Brother Adayar won this race; stayed 1m4f well in the Lingfield Derby Trial; improving

2.10 Epsom (ITV4)
Princess Elizabeth Stakes, Group 3, 1m½f

Prosperous Voyage caused a mighty shock when defeating Inspiral in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes last summer and the similar quick conditions should be in her favour here. Recent winner Roman Mist and Potapova are among her opposition.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: PROSPEROUS VOYAGE

Smart filly; cracking chance on some of her Group 1 form, including 2022 Falmouth success

2.45 Epsom (ITV4)
Aston Martin 3YO "Dash" Handicap, 5f

Adrian Nicholls enjoyed success in the Dash last season with Tees Spirit and takes aim at this new handicap with Can To Can, a five-length winner when last seen at Newcastle. Jm Jungle, Russet Gold and Estate arrive with leading chances.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: ZUFFOLO

Travelled strongly for Redcar win; 6lb rise could be lenient; may follow up

3.20 Epsom (ITV4)
Aston Martin "Dash" Handicap, 5f

Live In The Dream finished fifth when sent off favourite here 12 months ago and his older sibling Live In The Moment is the likely favourite this year having gone close at Doncaster last time out. Last year's runner-up Mountain Peak and fourth Mokaatil run again, while the consistent Lihou is respected.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: LIVE IN THE MOMENT

Back to form last time; returning to minimum trip should suit; more persuasive than most

3.55 Epsom (ITV4)
Betfred Lester Piggott Handicap, 1m2f

Torito was an eyecatching second at Sandown last time behind Derby contender Artistic Star and is fascinating on his handicap debut. Andrew Balding has won this three times in five years and runs Kadovar.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: PROMOTER

Stacks of stamina on dam's side; this step up in trip can see him in a much better light

SPOTLIGHT TIP: HALIPHON

Pipped at 25-1 in this race last year, it would be no shock were he to surge back to form
