Spend your free horse racing bets on ITV Racing

Killer Kane (1.20 Newbury) is likely to be involved at the business end of the opening race on ITV this weekend. The Joe Tizzard-trained gelding made a satisfactory return at Exeter and could benefit from a 2lb drop in the weights. He also eases in distance, which is expected to suit.

The Coral Bundles Intermediate Handicap Hurdle (2.30) could go the way of Teddy Blue, who looks an improving type after scoring a maiden hurdle success by a wide margin at Fontwell. With confidence high, there could be further progress to come on his handicap debut under suitable conditions.

The eagerly awaited Coral Gold Cup takes centre stage on drying ground at the Berkshire venue. One who appears capable of a strong each-way showing is Gericault Roque, who boasts excellent big-field handicap form over fences, including a second in the Grade 3 Ultima Handicap Chase at last season's Cheltenham Festival. He could come on significantly after his prep run over hurdles at Aintree this month.

Constitution Hill is the show-stopping attraction at Newcastle this Saturday, heading out of novice company for the first time and prohibitive odds to land the Grade 1 Betfair Fighting Fifth Hurdle. After a 22-length romp in the Grade 1 Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, all eyes will be on the Nicky Henderson-trained superstar in what is likely to prove to be a first step towards a Champion Hurdle bid.
