ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the six races on ITV4 on Wednesday
1.45 Chester
ICM Stellar Sports Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes, 5f
The juvenile speedballs typically open the three-day meeting in this contest and there could be a special winner here in Devious Angel, who is owned by Roudee Racing and has been pinpointed at this race since his impressive success at Southwell last month. He takes on Navello, who is already twice a winner early on in his racing career.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Devious Angel
Made all for impressive success at Southwell on second outing; yard does well here
Weatherbys ePassport Cheshire Oaks, Listed, 1m3½f
The great Enable claimed this race in 2017 before going on to stardom, and the Gosdens could have another top-class performer in the regally bred Darlectable You. Zeyaadah – a 20-1 shot for the Oaks – is among the opposition as she attempts to maintain her unbeaten record.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Nicest
Two runs last summer, fifth when favourite in Group 3; can come into her own as middle-distance three-year-old
Wednesday's free racing tips: six horses to consider putting for your multiples
Racing Partnership TRP Handicap Chase, 2m5f
Paul Nicholls has already hit the ground running this jumps season with three winners, including a double at Kempton on Monday, and he is represented by last month's course-and-distance winner Eritage. Former Grade 1 winner Lalor drops in class and seeks a first victory in two and a half years.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Lalor
Travelled well for a long way before tiring at Aintree (3m1f); by no means out of this
tote+ At tote.co.uk Handicap, 5f
Tom Dascombe typically does well with his runners around the Roodee and is doubly represented in this 5f heat by course-and-distance winner Cuban Breeze and Harmony Lil. Showalong could give the pair the most to think about given his York victory last season.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Showalong
Ran well at Thirsk on reappearance; 2yo wins came on soft ground; respected
Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's six meetings
Chester Vase Stakes, Group 3, 1m4½f
The renowned Derby trial could throw up yet another top-class performer in Wirko, who is the likely favourite and was a game winner of the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom last month. Fellow Godolphin-owned Law Of The Sea bids for a three-timer, while winning-most Chester Vase trainer Aidan O'Brien is solely represented by Sandhurst.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Wirko
Led final strides in Epsom Listed race (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; 1m4f looks a big help
tote+ Pays You More At tote.co.uk Handicap, 6f
Kevin Stott and Kevin Ryan are operating at a 25 per cent strike-rate currently this campaign and bid to increase their fortunes with Uncle Jumbo, but they face stern opposition in the unexposed Good Listener and Tanfantic in a competitive contest.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Good Listener
5f winner who looks ready for a crack at 6f; open to progress now handicapping; respected
