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

Sky Bet Sunday Series EBF Newcomers’ Maiden Stakes | 5f

Six juvenile debutants clash in the ITV4 opener. Buckshaw Village, a £55,000 breeze-up purchase, is the most expensive runner in the field with Richard Fahey boasting a 20 per cent course strike-rate in the last five years.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SHERDIL

£40,000 yearling; has a more speedy pedigree than some, also a Group 2 Gimcrack entry

4.10 Pontefract
Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Pomfret Stakes (Listed) | 1m

Three-time Group 3 winner Regal Reality takes a drop in class and is odds-on favourite for Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore. Classy handicappers Brunch and Rhoscolyn pose the biggest threats.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BRUNCH

Good form in major 1m handicaps this term; worth his place back at Listed level; respected

4.20 Musselburgh
Sky Bet Sunday Series Apprentice Training Series Handicap | 1m1f

The Dianne Sayer-trained Detective has won three of his last four starts and receives plenty of weight from his rivals. Last-time-out winner Noble Crusade and the consistent Tommy G and Six Strings are others to consider.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: NOBLE CRUSADE

2 wins at Carlisle; lightly raced three-year-old who should outstrip his 3lb rise at some point soon

4.45 Musselburgh
Sky Bet Sunday Series Nursery Handicap | 5f

Atomic Lady was a ready winner of a York nursery last time and that form was boosted on Friday evening when runner-up Silken Petals scored by five lengths on the Knavesmire. She looks a solid favourite with Firebomb and Hi Meh Darling among rivals open to improvement.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: COME QUICK

Travelled best but didn't get home at Carlisle; interesting back at 5f for Nursery debut

Sky Bet Sunday Series Sprint Handicap | 5f

Gunnerside has been a revelation for Grant Tuer, winning six of his nine starts this year, and the trainer has targeted this race. Beverley winner The Bell Conductor, course-and-distance scorer Good Luck Fox and the well-handicapped Water Of Leith have claims.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SOUND OF IONA

Her turn looks near off this mark granted a bit of good fortune

Sky Bet Sunday Series Fillies’ Handicap | 1m

Marco Botti has saddled four runners at this track but bids for a first victory with the progressive Rising Star, who finished second in a better race at Newmarket last time. Wetherby second Real Terms is the main danger.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: RISING STAR

33-1 second at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on latest start was improved form; stays 1m

Sky Bet Sunday Series Handicap | 7f

The Tim Easterby-trained Danzan reverts to this trip for the first time since finishing fifth in the Acomb in 2017 and arrives in decent form. Lion Tower has been progressive this year, while I Am A Dreamer is an intriguing outsider.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: DANZAN

Ran well in big-field York sprint two weeks ago and looks worth another crack at 7f

Sky Bet Sunday Series Stayers Handicap | 1m6f

Hint Of Stars, a winner of four of his last five starts, is a first runner in Scotland for Newmarket trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy. Wise Eagle has been a star for Adam Nicol, finishing out of the first two just once in nine starts and should go well.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: HINT OF STARS

Flourished at 1m4f on AW; also won well on good to firm last time; 1m6f is well worth a go
