Spend your free horse racing bets on ITV Racing

Good Risk At All ticks plenty of boxes in the competitive and prestigious Betfair Exchange Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle at 2.25, live on ITV from Haydock. A smart bumper horse, the Sam Thomas-trained chestnut took a while to get the hang of things over hurdles, but has progressed into a talented type. He is likely to mount a bold bid after an easy Carlisle handicap success on heavy ground, especially with conditions in his favour.

Irish eyes may be smiling after the 3.15 at Ascot, where So Scottish is a notable contender on handicap chase debut after winning both novice events over fences. He beat a subsequent winner at Carlisle last time and could have plenty of improvement left.

Saturday's terrestrial racing coverage on ITV concludes with the 3.35 at Haydock, with Houston Texas the most likely winner. A big type, the son of Dylan Thomas has won his previous three handicap chases with something to spare and ought to relish the testing conditions.
