Saturday's free racing tips: expert selections from the Racing Post team

Handicappers' nap

Thebannerkingrebel (12.05 Haydock)

High-class novice who was unlucky to lose his unbeaten record over hurdles when falling at the last on his reappearance. Sets a high standard and should be tough to beat.

Newmarket nap

King Of Arms (5.40 Wolverhampton)

John Gosden's juvenile ran well when second over course and distance last month and has since moved well on the Al Bahathri.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Three Little Birds (5.10 Wolverhampton)

Ran into traffic problems early in the straight last time and got rolling just too late. She can be given another chance here.

West Country nap

Umbrigado (2.25 Haydock)

Steps up in trip for the first time over hurdles on seasonal bow and is fancied to get off to the best possible start.
Andrew King

Ace Tipster

Ballinsker (12.05 Haydock)

Impressive when winning on his hurdling debut at Ludlow and looks a star in the making. He can take this en route to better things.
Graeme Rodway

Speed Figures

Inteldream (4.40 Wolverhampton)

Sprang a surprise here in September but the time was decent and off his reasonable mark can prove his success was no fluke.
Dave Edwards

Irish Angle

Kavanaghs Corner (3.15 Gowran Park)

The 2m trip and testing ground will suit Henry de Bromhead's runner, who can cope with an 8lb hike for his win at Clonmel last time.

Spotlight nap

Call Me Lord (2.40 Ascot)

Has shown very good form at his best, including when third under top weight in the Imperial Cup in March, and has good chance on that effort.
Mel Cullinan

Dark horse

Ballinsker (12.05 Haydock)

Won in good style on rules debut and has plenty of improvement in him. Evan Williams' four-year-old could be underrated and offers value against the field.

Must-have stat of the day

Five-year-olds have won six of the last ten runnings of the 2.25 at Haydock, and David Pipe is the most successful trainer with three wins in the same time period. Pipe's Umbrigado fits the trends here.
