The Punt Acca: Robbie Wilders' three horse racing tips on Saturday

Korker(2.40 Beverley)

It helps to be drawn low in the Beverley Bullet and Korker (stall 5) is taken to improve past the standard-setting favourite Tis Marvellous. Korker has a knack of missing the break and threw away many lengths at the start in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap a couple of starts back, but finished his race impressively and shaped best of all despite finishing 11th. He didn't miss the kick as badly when third to Royal Aclaim last time, but there is plenty of talent there and I don't think we've seen the best of him.

Mo Celita (3.15 Newmarket)

Those at the head of the Hopeful Stakes market make limited appeal given Great Ambassador may not be at home on the ground and Daneh makes her belated seasonal return dropped to a sprinting trip for the first time. Preference is for Mo Celita, who has disappointed in two starts this campaign but needs slow ground and would be dangerous if bouncing back to the form which saw her finish fourth in last season's heavy-ground Prix de l'Abbaye. Having Frankie Dettori in the saddle for the first time can only be an advantage as well.

Nahanni(3.50 Newmarket)

Charlie Appleby has made hay with some of his best three-year-olds in handicaps this season – St Leger hopefuls New London and Secret State spring to mind – and Nahanni drops to a handicap for the first time in this 1m6f contest following a first-time gelding operation. The son of Frankel brings plenty of back class the table, finishing seventh in the Derby after landing the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom, and could easily prove better than a mark of 100. Receiving 10lb in weight for age from the older stayers will also help.
