ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the ten races on ITV4 on Saturday
MansionBet Watch And Bet Handicap, 1m6f
Prince Alex rattled off a remarkable five-timer last season and, despite being beaten on his seasonal return at Salisbury, is well fancied to continue his progress. Course-and-distance winner and Chester Cup third Hochfeld makes his sixth appearance of the season.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Prince Alex
5-5 in handicaps last term; ran creditably on reappearance; remains of interest
Casumo Horse Racing And Sports Betting Handicap, 7f
Ffion has won two of her first three starts and takes another step up in class in this contest for David Loughnane and stable jockey Pat Cosgrave. Useful handicapper Molls Memory bids to provide Ed Walker with more glory in front of the ITV cameras following his fantastic Dante meeting at York last week.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Molls Memory
Encouraging fifth at York last week and today's slower ground is right up her street
MansionBet Beaten By A Head Festival Stakes, 1m2f, Listed
Al Zaraqaan found the step up to Group 2 company too hot to handle in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket last time and drops in class in a bid to get back to winning ways. Admirable veteran and dual Canadian International hero Desert Encounter opposes, as does fellow popular performer Stormy Antarctic.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Al Zaraqaan
With Majestic Dawn out, Al Zaraqaan is fancied given he is far less exposed than his rivals.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Frankenstella
Challenged 2f out at York nine days ago but was chopped off in her run; more to offer
William Hill Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes, 1m6f, Group 3
Believe In Love was a five-time winner last season, culminating with a Group 3 success in France, and makes her reappearance before loftier targets await. Irish raider Mighty Blue is a formidable rival having won a Listed contest last time.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Makawee
Useful filly who ran well on reappearance; ideal conditions here; serious contender

Raadobarg has been impressive on his last two starts and steps into handicap company for the first time in this competitive heat. Wobwobwob was an easy winner at the Dante meeting and bids to prove that was not a fluke.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Headingley
Would have won at Goodwood but for failing to handle the camber; could have a big say
Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas, 1m, Group 1
Poetic Flare tackles his third Guineas of the month. The Newmarket hero takes on regular foes Lucky Vega, Wembley, Van Gogh and Battleground, who all finished behind him on the Rowley Mile. Craven Stakes runner-up La Barrosa heads a two-strong British challenge in an open race.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Van Gogh
Fared best of stable's trio in the 2,000 Guineas when eighth, Group 1 winner on heavy

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Method
Kept on for 2nd in 5f Group 3 on final two-year-old run; could play leading role now back up to 6f
williamhill.com Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap, 5f
Copper Knight got back to winning ways at York and bids for a sixth course-and-distance victory. The consistent Pendleton looks to be a key rival in a highly competitive heat.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Sunday Sovereign
Lightly raced; encouraging start for new yard when midfield over C&D; dropped 5lb since
4.10 Haydock
Casumo Best Odds Guaranteed Temple Stakes, 5f, Group 2
John Quinn is double-handed as he aims for a notable victory, with Liberty Beach and Keep Busy sitting towards the head of the betting. Nunthorpe second Que Amoro makes her seasonal return in a race dominated by northern-based yards.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Jabbarockie
Something to find with most of the fillies but clearly thriving and could make a bold bid
