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

1.20 Cheltenham
Paddy Power Novices' Chase, Grade 2, 2m4½f

Thunder Rock is two from two over fences and is the highest-rated runner in the field. Monmiral will bid to build on his chasing debut behind Jonbon last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: HARPER'S BROOK

Scopey seven-year-old who won with a nice bit in hand at Bangor; needs a close look

1.35 Musselburgh
Fitzdares "Auld Reekie" Handicap Chase, 2m4½f

Cooper's Cross ran a blinder when third at Aintree last time and holds obvious claims. Half Shot arrives seeking a hat-trick, while the classy Minella Drama drops in grade.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: COOPER'S CROSS

Won at Carlisle on reappearance and good third in warm race at Aintree since; key player

1.55 Cheltenham
Paddy Power New Year's Day Handicap Chase, 2m4½f

Midnight River and Il Ridoto ran well in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at the November meeting. Stolen Silver has good record at this course, while Brave Seasca and Shakem Up'Arry appreciated the longer trip when winning last time out.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: COCONUT SPLASH

Consistent; this return to a bigger field looks ideal; could well break his chase duck

2.15 Tramore
Savills New Year's Day Chase, Grade 3, 2m6f

Willie Mullins has won this for the last five years and will look to make it six with National Hunt Chase winner Stattler, who makes his first start since scoring at the Cheltenham Festival. 2021 Gold Cup winner Minella Indo is the other contender of note.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: MINELLA INDO

Last year's Gold Cup second makes belated return and good opportunity at the weights

2.45 Musselburgh
Fitzdares Hogmaneigh Handicap Hurdle, 1m7½f

This is a rise in class for Al Zaraqaan but he's won four in a row and took a course-and-distance handicap on his last start. Voix Du Reve drops from Grade 1 level, while Homme Public has won two of his last three.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: AL ZARAQAAN

Made it 4-4 in handicap hurdles with easy C&D win latest; a 9lb rise may not stop him

3.05 Cheltenham
Paddy Power Handicap Hurdle, 3m
