Saturday racecards| Big-race tips

Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes (Group 3), 1m4f

Harry Herbert, chairman and managing director of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, owners of Thunderous

“He’s a very high-class horse on his day, and Charlie and Mark Johnston are very happy with him. He’ll definitely take a big step forward from the John Porter, but it’s the right race for him.”

Overnight price: 3-1

2.25 Newbury
Dubai Duty Free Stakes (Group 3), 7f

Charlie Appleby, trainer of Wild Beauty:

"We feel that she didn’t particularly handle the course in the Fillies’ Mile and are looking at using this as a springboard to the French 1,000 Guineas."

Overnight price: 9-4

3.00 Newbury
Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes (Group 3), 7f

Bruce Raymond, racing manager to Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum, owner of Perfect Power:

"Christophe [Soumillon] was very keen to come over to ride Perfect Power. The horse has been working as well as we could wish for and I think he’s the one they all have to beat."

Overnight price: 15-8

3.14 Musselburgh
Betway Queen's Cup, 1m6f

Charlie Fellowes, trainer of Blow Your Horn:

"He's in great shape but he's had a long time off so the question is whether he's fit enough. He's surprised me this spring just how well he's worked and he has a decent draw."

Overnight price: 20-1

3.35 Newbury
Highclere Thoroughbred Racing 30th Anniversary Spring Cup Handicap, 1m

Tom Clover, trainer of Rogue Bear:

"He's come forward since finishing third in the Lincoln and we are very much looking forward to running him. The ground may be quicker than Doncaster but he's not short of speed and it's fantastic for the owners to have a big chance in a big handicap."

Overnight price: 3-1

4.50 Fairyhouse
RYBO Handicap Hurdle (Grade A), 2m

Shane Crawley, trainer of Nodoubtaboutthat:

"We're throwing her in at the deep end for her first start back but she's got a lovely weight, it's a great pot and we're only up the road from Fairyhouse."

Overnight price: 10-1
