Harry Wilson has fired in 15-8, 9-2 and 5-2 winners - find out who he fancies for every race on ITV

Our tipster provides his fancies for the ITV action

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all nine races live on ITV from Kelso, Newbury and Bangor on Saturday . . .


1.15 Kelso
Ladbrokes 'Best Odds Guaranteed On Racing' Handicap Chase, 3m2f

Harry's tip: Cadell

Cadell jumped boldly and accurately when thumping his two rivals in a novice chase at Wetherby in November, but he has been set tough tasks since in a Grade 2 on unfavoured soft ground and in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh last month. He won and came second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner in his two starts at the track over hurdles and, given his three defeats over fences have come on right-handed tracks, he may benefit from going this way round. The handicapper has generously dropped him 7lb for his latest two defeats and this unexposed sort should be able to capitalise now he has things in his favour.

1.35 Bangor
Alfa Aggregates Products Handicap Hurdle, 2m3½f

Harry's tip: The Four Sixes

The Four Sixes has a lot of letters next to his name and may be underestimated as a result, but he's had excuses for recent defeats. The first two disappointments came over fences, and while he was pulled up when returned to hurdles last time, he was 15 lengths clear at one point, going an unsustainable gallop, and just weakened on soft ground. He jumped brilliantly that day bar a mistake four out and, now he's now back to a mark from which he twice finished second last season, he could prove hard to pass out in front with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle.

1.50 Kelso
Ladbrokes 'Big-Value You Can Bet On' Mares' Hurdle (Listed), 3m½f

Harry's tip: Wyenot

Wyenot dominated main market rivals Ottizzini and Gale Mahler when running away with a Listed race at Doncaster in December and ran just as well in a Grade 2 next time. She wasn't able to lead that day but finished a respectable third, despite the weights not being in her favour, and Jetara gave the form substance when finishing fourth behind Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. There's nothing of that calibre here and Wyenot should have no problem in winning this, especially with Alice Stevens back in the saddle. The pair have a 3-3 record.

2.05 Newbury
Get Best Odds Guaranteed At BetVictor Novices' Handicap Hurdle, 2m3f

Harry's tip: Serious Challenge

Serious Challenge was a very useful Flat horse when trained by Jim Bolger, ending his time in Ireland rated 100, and has done nothing but improve since switching to hurdles for Fergal O’Brien. He has produced progressive Racing Post Ratings in his three starts, latterly when getting the better of the 125-rated Bowensonfire at Ayr last month, while his debut fifth has worked out well, with the first three winning four races since. He proved he stayed this trip when winning at Plumpton on his penultimate start and could have lots more to come now handicapping off a workable mark.

2.25 Kelso
Ladbrokes Go North Cab On Target Handicap Hurdle, 2m5f

Harry's tip: Nordic Tiger

Nordic Tiger won three of his last four starts last season, latterly beating a next-time-out winner in a good-ground 2m4f handicap at Southwell in April. He has disappointed this season, but he was entitled to need his reappearance after 220 days off the track in November and has been held up on soft ground in three starts since, despite being suited by a sounder surface and producing all his best runs when racing prominently. He has dropped to a rating just 1lb above his last winning mark and Alice Stevens, who was on board for each of his wins, is back in the saddle claiming a valuable 3lb.

2.40 Newbury
BetVictor Home Of The Saturday Superboost Handicap Chase, 2m4f

Harry's tip: Saint Segal

Saint Segal lost his way somewhat in the autumn after returning from 179 days off the track, having had wind surgery, but the switch to front-running tactics has seemingly sparked something in recent starts. He bolted up by 11 lengths over this course and distance in December and has run some huge races in defeat since, chasing home the progressive The Kalooki Kid at Musselburgh in February, when he wasn’t helped by being hassled for the lead, and finishing third in the Greatwood Gold Cup here when last seen. He’s in the form of his life, with the three highest Racing Post Ratings of his career coming on his last three starts, and he can take advantage of an unchanged mark in this much weaker contest.

3.00 Kelso
Ladbrokes Herring Queen Series Final Mares' Novices' Handicap Hurdle, 2m

Harry's tip: Walkadina

Walkadina looked a serious prospect when beating a dual subsequent winner by 13 lengths on her debut at Uttoxeter, and backed that up when running a cracker from the front in a Listed contest at Newbury in November next time. She was still leading before a mistake at the last checked her momentum and that form looks solid, given the winner has since run well in a Grade 2 and the third won at Listed level next time. Something was clearly amiss when well beaten at Wincanton on Boxing Day as she was given wind surgery soon after, and giving 10lb to subsequent winner Bluey was probably a thankless task anyway. She’ll step forward from her Ludlow prep last month and could prove a lot better than a mark of 118.

3.15 Newbury
BetVictor British EBF "National Hunt" Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Siog Geal

Siog Geal has been held in high regard since joining Fergal O’Brien after winning an Irish point-to-point in February last year and showed she possesses plenty of ability when finishing second in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November. She was made to work hard when winning on her hurdling debut at Catterick in December, but the runner-up has scored twice since and is now rated 121. She rallied well for a close fourth behind previous Listed scorer Jubilee Alpha at Windsor next time, having looked outpaced, and again gave the impression she would be suited by a step up in trip when second in a slowly run race behind Bluey at Market Rasen last month. This mark of 116 could well underestimate her ability now handicapping at a more suitable trip.

3.35 Kelso
Ladbrokes 'Boost Your Bet Builder' Handicap Chase, 2m1f

Harry's tip: Flash Du Pistolet

A case can be made for nearly every runner in the field, but front-running looked the making of Flash Du Pistolet at Newcastle last time as he settled and jumped much better than before. That was also his first encounter with good ground, which looks a positive here, while he's run well on both visits to Kelso, including on his chasing debut when fourth behind Walk On Quest, who has won three times since. He's 1lb lower than that day despite having won since and shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in trip.
