Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's six meetings
Fancies from Ascot, Ayr, Galway, Newmarket, Wetherby and Wolverhampton
Saturday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team
Ascot
2.05: Anyharminasking
Magistrato (second choice) might be dangerous if the first-time hood helps him to settle better, while his stablemate Hacker Des Places doesn't looked harshly treated after a 5lb rise for his Aintree win in April. However. Anyharminasking won his first two handicaps with any amount in hand and is selected to overcome today's rise in grade.
Chris Wilson
Ayr
3.08: Marown
Getaway Goldie is progressive over fences but this higher mark and shorter trip may conspire against her and preference is for Marown and Buster Valentine in that order. Nicky Richards has his string in good form and his runner should be capable of going close, at the least, off his falling mark. Chasing debutant Readsteadybeau could be a threat if taking to fences.

Galway
5.13: Firm Footings
It seems likely that the Willie Mullins hope Allibaba will improve from a C&D debut that gives him an edge over Soldante but that looked like an ordinary contest. He may not cope with Firm Footings, whose debut third at Punchestown in April was obtained behind two Mullins-trained opponents.
Alan Sweetman
Newmarket
3.23: Lawful Command
With his sights lowered somewhat, Lawful Command can go very well on this first run since Glorious Goodwood. Three of his four wins have been on softer than good. Stately Home looks a solid option to follow him home, although the Godolphin entries Ghaly and King Of Conquest may still not be exposed and last year's winner Rebel Territory also enters the equation.
Richard Austen
Wetherby
5.20: Findthetime
A few of these could be ahead of the handicapper. Top of the list is Findthetime, who made it 2-2 in handicaps with a convincing win off 7lb lower over C&D last time out in February. Rafferty's Return is another unexposed C&D winner and he's second choice, ahead of the Dan Skelton-trained 4yo Rocky Man. Vintage Fizz arrives on a hat-trick and is also in the equation.
Ben Hutton
Wolverhampton
7.00: Cloch Nua
Strong contenders are thick on the ground, including last-time winners Visibility, Belisa De Vega, Min Till and Cloch Nua. The last named has had a few defeats in AW handicaps at about this trip but he was a convincing winner at Newcastle recently and an earlier good effort at Lingfield shows he acts well round a bend. Visibility may be the biggest danger.
