ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the ten ITV4 races on Good Friday

2.00 Lingfield
Betway All-Weather Marathon Championships, 1m7f

The Alan King-trained Rainbow Dreamer narrowly won at Kempton last time and will once again be partnered by Hollie Doyle. His biggest rival could be Ranch Hand, who won the 2020 Rose Bowl.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Ranch Hand

Made all to beat Rock Eagle and Lucky Deal at Chelmsford on reappearance; now 3-3 on all-weather

Betway Handicap, 6f

Broctune Red makes his tenth successive start on the all-weather at Newcastle for trainer Gillian Boanas and is the likely market leader ahead of Kapono, who was second at Wolverhampton last week.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Broctune Red

Thriving; excellent neck second here on his latest start; runs off same mark; major player

Ladbrokes All-Weather Fillies' And Mares' Championships, 7f

John and Thady Gosden have hit the ground running with their new training partnership and have an excellent chance with Indie Angel, winner of the Listed Fleur De Lys Fillies' Stakes here last season.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Shimmering Dawn

Multiple all-weather winner, including C&D; this race is easier than latest assignment; key player

Betway Handicap, 6f

Global Warning arrives in good form for trainer Chris Dwyer after winning by a head over course and distance last time. His main danger could be the hat-trick-seeking Devil's Angel, ridden by Megan Nicholls.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Global Warning

2-3 since joining this yard and dropped to 6f, recording both wins here; respected

Betway All-Weather Sprint Championships, 6f

The field is headed by Irish-trained contender Harry's Bar, who ran in the Riyadh Dirt Sprint at the ultra-valuable Saudi Cup meeting last month. He drops back to six furlongs after trying a mile last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Tone The Barone

Nine handicap wins in the last two years; worth another crack at 6f; could progress further

Ladbrokes Burradon Stakes, Listed, 1m

This race was won by Dubai World Cup runner-up Gronkowski in 2018 and has attracted a high-quality field including Megallan and Legion Of Honour, a winner here last time for trainer Roger Varian.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Legion Of Honour

Promising sort, easy winner over 7f here in November; entered in 2,000 Guineas; key player

Ladbrokes 3 Year Old All-Weather Championships, 6f

Archie Watson and Hollie Doyle have long been a formidable duo on the all-weather and they team up again with Mighty Gurkha, who is set for an interesting clash with Lingfield second Diligent Harry.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Apollo One

Smart form and shouldn't be fazed by the drop back in trip; course winner; major claims

Ladbrokes "Play 1-2-Free" On Football Handicap, 1m4½f

The Mark Johnston team have made a strong start to the season and have a good chance with Glen Again, who has not finished out of the first two in his three starts and will be partnered by PJ McDonald.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Brown Delivers

Unexposed; had excuse when beaten favourite last time; worth considering on handicap debut

Betway Easter Classic All-Weather Middle Distance Championships, 1m2f

Bangkok was eighth in the $20 million Saudi Cup last time and renews his rivalry with Forest Of Dean, who he beat into third when landing the Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield on his penultimate start.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Bangkok

Smart performer; dual Listed winner over C&D; leading contender back here

Bombardier All-Weather Mile Championships, 1m

Richard Hannon won the 2019 running with Oh This Is Us and has a leading chance with Mums Tipple, who won for the first time since August 2019 last time. Khuzaam is also prominent in the market for Shadwell after running on well to win at Chelmsford last month.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Khuzaam

Has form figures of 2112221 on AW; leading player at the weights and has a solid profile
