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

Stay Alert (1.40 Newbury)

The value in the Group 3 Legacy Cup could be with Stay Alert for Hughie Morrison. Stay Alert was a well-backed 5-1 shot for a strong Lancashire Oaks on soft ground won by Free Wind last time, but didn’t quite perform to expectations in fifth. However, it is still early days with her and she gets all the allowances as a three-year-old filly. Her previous two pieces of form at this course are excellent – she ran a close second to subsequent dual Group 1 winner Nashwa in a Listed contest in May before going one better in a similar event in June.

Wallop(2.50 Newbury)

The Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes has a strong favourite in Sakheer but I want to chance Wallop at a big price for Richard Hannon. While Wallop is still a maiden, his first run was filled with promise and he finished in close proximity to Noble Style and Mill Stream in a red-hot 6f novice at Newmarket. There was seven lengths back to the fourth that day and Noble Style advertised the form in no uncertain terms in the Gimcrack at York, while Mill Stream shaped better than the result when fourth in the Acomb at the same meeting.

Gis A Sub (3.40 Ayr)

I’m confident we haven’t yet seen the best of Gis A Sub and he can show his talent in the Ayr Gold Cup. The Kevin Ryan stable clearly holds this three-year-old in high regard as he was thrown in at the deep end two starts back in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup after tackling a Group 2 at Haydock. Gis A Sub failed to cut much ice in that company but this looks more his level and he is entitled to step forward from his first run in two months at York in August following a gelding operation. He wasn’t beaten far on the Knavesmire and that should have put him spot on for this.
