ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the seven ITV races on Friday

1.30 Haydock
Old Bootleians Nursery Handicap, 5f

Al Dasim was last seen running a respectable sixth in a Listed race at Deauville and he now drops in grade on debut for George Boughey. He is the one to beat, though Connor Planas' 7lb claim will be an asset to Rogue Spirit.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: ROGUE SPIRIT

Was having a consistent season until finishing only seventh at York; can bounce back

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai British EBF Rosemary Stakes (Listed), 1m

Romantic Rival finished strongly in the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster and looks a threat now she is dropped in grade. Crystal Caprice and Whitebeam both bid for four-timers and are feared.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: WHITEBEAM

Still looked green when completing hat-trick in Haydock handicap last month; big player

J W Lees MPA Handicap, 1m

Every ride is crucial for Benoit de la Sayette as he duels with Harry Davies for the Apprentice Jockeys Championship and he rides Moon Watch, who makes his handicap debut. Last time out winners Delorean and Foden are other big players.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: DELOREAN

Won with something up his sleeve on C&D handicap debut; up 4lb; can improve

Princess Royal Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Stakes (Group 3), 1m4f

Eternal Pearl burst on to the scene with a seven-length win at Kempton in June and is seeking to make it four in a row after subsequent wins at Listed and Group level. Sea Silk Road, who defeated her at Goodwood on her second start, is the main danger.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: ETERNAL PEARL

Found plenty for pressure on last two starts and is getting her act together in fine style

Haldane Fisher Handicap, 1m6f

It could be a big day for Benoit de la Sayette as he tries to enhance his 27 per cent strike-rate when riding for the Gosdens aboard Baltic Bird, who drops significantly in grade. Speycaster and Post Impressionist both sport new headgear for top yards.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BALTIC BIRD

15-2 when last of 12 in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot; it's much too soon to rule him out

3.00Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Rockfel Stakes (Group 2), 7f

Olivia Maralda was only three-quarters of a length behind the exciting Meditate at the Curragh last time and reunites with Rossa Ryan here. The regally-bred Commissioning was impressive on debut and is entered for loftier targets later this season.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: OLIVIA MARALDA

Kept the high-class Meditate fairly honest in a Group 2 at the Curragh

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Joel Stakes (Group 2), 1m

Tempus is thriving and made it four wins in a row and back-to-back Group 3s with victory Deauville last month. He accounts for this field on ratings, and Potapova, who won back at a mile last time, could chase him home.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: MUTASAABEQ

Poor last time but strong contender on his previous near-misses at this level; blinkered
