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

1.50 Haydock
Double Daily Rewards With Betfair Graduation Chase, 2m5½f

Sefton runner-up Bravemansgame bids to take his chasing record to 2-2 following an impressive debut success over fences at Newton Abbot. Itchy Feet, second in the Old Roan Chase on his seasonal reappearance, looks his main danger and comes out best on official ratings.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BRAVEMANSGAME

Others have greater experience over fences but he was very impressive on his chase debut

Chanelle Pharma 1965 Chase, Grade 2, 2m5f

Dashel Drasher looks to maintain his unbeaten record at Ascot as he seeks a fourth win on the bounce at his favourite track. Seven-time top-level winner Defi Du Seuil is back after wind surgery alongside 2019 Betfair Chase winner Lostintranslation, while Master Tommytucker has a race-fitness edge for Paul Nicholls, winner of 5 of the last 10 runnings.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: DASHEL DRASHER

Last seen winning Grade 1 Ascot Chase in February when completing C&D hat-trick; respected

Betfair Exchange Stayers' Handicap Hurdle, Grade 3, 3m½f

Trainer Emmet Mullins and owner Paul Byrne hope to plunder another valuable handicap in Britain, this time with Rightplacerightime, with conditional Harry Kimber taking 7lb off the bottom weight runner. Orbys Legend, Flight Deck and Bass Rock head the opposition.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: DOCTOR DUFFY

Well handicapped on last year's chase form and interesting contender now back in the visor

Coral Hurdle, Grade 2, 2m3½f

Cesarewitch winner Buzz is the one to beat on ratings as Goshen steps up in trip for his reappearance. Last year's scorer Song For Someone aims to follow up the success under Aidan Coleman in an open renewal of this Grade 2 contest.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BUZZ

Upwardly mobile seven-year-old, last seen winning Cesarewitch in October; looks very worthy favourite

Betfair Chase, Grade 1, 3m1½f

A fascinating line-up in this top-level chase features last season's Gold Cup second A Plus Tard in a clash against Grade 1 winner Imperial Aura. The pair will have to contend with Bristol De Mai, the star of Nigel Twiston-Davies's yard, who is looking for a fourth victory in the race.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BRISTOL DE MAI

Has won three of the last four runnings of this race and has strong claims once more

Gerard Bertrand Hurst Park Handicap Chase, 2m1f

Sky Pirate and Before Midnight renew their rivalry, with the latter coming out on top by six lengths last time at Cheltenham's Showcase meeting. Amoola Gold scored on his last start over course-and-distance for Bridget Andrews and Dan Skelton and dons first-time cheekpieces.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BEFORE MIDNIGHT

Has form figures of 131111 over 2m; beat Sky Pirate by 6l at Cheltenham most recently

My Odds Boost On Betfair Handicap Chase, 3m1½f

Strictlyadancer seeks a hat-trick following back-to-back victories at Cheltenham. He faces strong opposition in the form of stablemate Potters Corner and Joke Dancer for trainer Sue Smith, who landed this race with Vintage Clouds in 2018.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: STRICTLYADANCER

Two Cheltenham wins this autumn; thriving and could take this rise in grade in his stride
