ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the eight races on ITV4 on Saturday

1.15 Lingfield
BetUK Over 40,000 Live Streamed Races Handicap, 5f

Bethersden Boy has finished third on his last three starts and could be well-weighted to go close once again. Mick's Spirit, Lilkian and The Defiant are all previous course-and-distance winners, while Yimou was a good second last time out.

SPOTLIGHT TIP:LILKIAN

Conditions to suit, on good mark and well drawn; likely in better form than figures suggest

1.50 Lingfield
BetUK's Acca Club £5 Free Bet Handicap, 6f

Admirable Lad has been in terrific form of late and bids to make it four wins from his last five starts for the Joey Haynes and Chelsea Banham combination. Lothian was a good second last time, while Perfect Symphony's last win came over course-and-distance two and a half years ago.

SPOTLIGHT TIP:ADMIRABLE LAD

Comes here at the top of his game and no obvious reason he won't go close again

Betfred Merry Christmas Handicap, 1m

Four of Vitesse Du Son's career wins have come on the all-weather and is a well-fancied favourite to pick up a fifth. Eagle Eyed Freddie and Nick Vedder have been consistent on their last two starts, while Lake Sand is a previous course-and-distance winner.

SPOTLIGHT TIP:LAKE SAND

Dual course-and-distance winner; well treated and his close fourth back here last time was encouraging

2.25 Lingfield
Top Odds Every Day With BetUK Handicap, 1m4f

Ummsquaim was a shock course-and-distance winner last time under Mohammed Tabti and the pair team up again off just a 3lb higher mark. Pablo Prince and Capricorn Prince also have winning form over track and trip and look to be among his main rivals.

SPOTLIGHT TIP:VISION OF HOPE

Pedigree provides significant optimism for this step up in trip on handicap debut

2.40 Chelmsford
Betfred Play Fred's 5 Million Handicap, 7f

Lord Paramount has progressed throughout the year and is likely to be a strong favourite to land another victory. Mawkeb has a 100 per cent record at the track, Got No Dollars showed plenty of promise at Kempton last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: GOT NO DOLLARS

Four-time all-weather winner; signs of a revival last month and looks ready to strike again

3.00 Lingfield
talkSPORT Winter Oaks Trial Irish EBF Fillies' Handicap, 1m2f

This race revolves around Queen Of Ipanema, who bids for a remarkable sixth success in a row in little under two months. Sea Tsarina is less exposed and represents strong connections, while Tequilamockingbird is unbeaten in two starts over track and trip.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SEA TSARINA

Soft ground a possible excuse last time and she had been progressive beforehand; 1m2f a plus

3.15 Chelmsford
Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Handicap, 6f

Elegant Ellen was unlucky not finish closer than she did over course-and-distance last time and is dangerously poised off the same mark for this. The rest of her rivals seem out of form, but Amazing Amaya kept on well over 5f last time and could appreciate the step up in trip.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: ELEGANT ELLEN

0-15 but promising signs on all-weather for new yard of late, including over course and distance

3.33 Lingfield
BetUK Quebec Stakes (Listed), 1m2f

Algiers and Harrovian finished second and third in the Churchill Stakes at the track last month and take each other on again, with the former fancied to confirm the form. Forest Of Dean won the 2021 Winter Derby and has strong all-weather form, while Makinmedoit scored over course-and-distance last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: ALGIERS

Had three of these behind when short-headed over course and distance; the one to beat on the same terms
