ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the eight ITV races on Saturday

1.50 Newbury
bet365 Stakes (Listed), 1m2f

Cadillac, a Listed winner in Ireland, has his second start for Kevin Philippart de Foy after finishing second in the Wolferton Stakes. Grocer Jack makes his British debut having run in Saudi Arabia and France since joining William Haggas from Germany.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: CADILLAC

Listed win last month before another big run at Royal Ascot on stable debut; strong claims

2.06 Market Rasen
Unibet Horserace Betting Operator Of The Year Handicap Hurdle, 2m7f

Ask Paddington has been revitalised this year and goes in search of a four-timer following two wins here and one at Hexham. Galileo Silver and Apache Creek are other last-time-out winners with solid claims.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: COULD BE TROUBLE

Won three hurdles for this yard last year and added a novice chase in May; on good mark

Highclere Castle Gin Cup Stakes, 2m½f

Going Gone was a big eyecatcher when coming from the rear to finish fourth in the Ascot Stakes last time. Reshoun was a length behind that day and reopposes having run two good races at Royal Ascot last month.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: GOING GONE

Career-best form when fourth of 19 over 2m4f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on latest start

2.41 Market Rasen
Unibet 15 To Go Summer Handicap Hurdle, 2m½f

Irish-trained runners Cirque Royal and Hisnameis Mrdevitt have appealing profiles for this valuable handicap hurdle. Fergal O'Brien saddles stable newcomer Wolf Prince and Castel Gandolfo, who is the mount of Paddy Brennan.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: CARAMELISED

Impressed in two juvenile hurdles last summer and collected a Flat win last month

2.56 Newbury
bet365 Hackwood Stakes (Group 3), 6f

Happy Romance and Diligent Harry were first and second in the race last year and renew their rivalry. Rohaan comes here at the top of his game after winning the Wokingham for the second year in a row last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: ROHAAN

Won Group 2 and 3 last spring; as good as ever when winning at Royal Ascot; bold bid likely

3.14 Market Rasen
Unibet Summer Plate Handicap Chase (Grade 3), 2m5½f

Francky Du Berlais is back to defend his title after producing a career-best performance when powering home last year. The prolific Mortlach has won his last four starts and could have more to offer.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: FRANCKY DU BERLAIS

Won this by over seven lengths off 2lb lower a year ago; features prominently in calculations

3.30 Newbury
Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes, 5f

Queen Mary third Maria Branwell and Rogue Spirit, who is unlucky not to be unbeaten, hold the strongest form claims in the big-field sales race. Richard Hannon and Richard Fahey have won seven of the last nine runnings and are responsible for the likes of Miami Girl, Swift Asset and Dare To Hope.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: MARIA BRANWELL

Fine third in the Queen Mary and that sets a useful standard for the others to aim at

Juddmonte Irish Oaks (Group 1), 1m4f

The absence of Emily Upjohn and Tuesday leaves the door open for Magical Lagoon, who is a leading contender following her victory in the Ribblesdale last time. Six-time winner Aidan O'Brien saddles Toy, the pick of Ryan Moore, Emily Dickinson and History.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: MAGICAL LAGOON

Won Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot; improving type won't go down without a fight
