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

1.25 Haydock
Cazoo Florida Handicap, 1m4f

Carlos Felix has been unlucky not to get his head in front this season with a hat-trick of seconds on the all-weather and could get that overdue win now back on turf. Songo bids to follow up his Bath win off 5lb higher for Milton Harris.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Songo

This six-year-old can further boost his already-impressive strike-rate for the in-form Milton Harris.

1.45 Goodwood
William Hill Harroways Handicap, 7f

Evocative Spark cruised to success last time out at Beverly and could improve once more over a similar trip. He takes on Gisburn, who ended his two-year-old campaign on a high and will be interesting on his seasonal debut.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Evocative Spark

Frankel colt who won well at Beverley last time; likely to progress further; respected

Cazoo Hell Nook Handicap, 2m

The consistent Bandinelli has won four of his five starts since being gelded, including at this track last season, and seemed in fine form when making a winning reappearance at Kempton last time out. Smart dual-purpose performer Goobinator could be dangerous on his first Flat run since taking a Sunday Series handicap here last September.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Valley Forge

The selection was a big-race winner last season at the York Ebor meeting in the Melrose, he has not yet raced over two miles but he's shaped increasingly as if it will suit him very well.

William Hill Festival Stakes (Listed), 1m2f

Last year's winner Stormy Antarctic is one of three course-and-distance winners along with Victory Chime and West End Charmer. However, Movin Time had some solid form as a three-year-old and could be primed to go well after his comeback run three weeks ago.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Movin Time

Remains open to further improvement with his Newmarket reappearance under his belt.


The Punt Acca: Robbie Wilders' four horse racing tips on Saturday


2.35 Haydock
Cazoo Silver Bowl Handicap, 1m

Blue Riband Trial fifth Mighty Ulysses could be dangerous stepping into handicap company for the first time after a comfortable Newmarket novice win. Whoputfiftyinyou bids to remain unbeaten and complete a four-timer for Clive Cox.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Mister Wilson

He was the only one to get close to Markaz Paname in a handicap at Naas in March, and a 1lb rise looks lenient given the winner has followed up in a Group 3.

2.55 York
William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap, 5f

Alligator Alley was well backed when fourth at the Dante meeting and could make it third time lucky for David O'Meara, having won a Listed race over course and distance as a juvenile for Joseph O'Brien. Look Out Louis looks to follow up his Chester win.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Look Out Louis

Looks better than ever at the age of six and he won with much more authority than the winning margin of a head suggests at Chester last time.

3.10 Haydock
Cazoo Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2), 6f

El Caballo reverts to turf for the first time since winning at Carlisle exactly a year ago. Go Bears Go took an Ascot Group 3 on his return and poses the main threat along with fellow last time out winner Flaming Rib.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Go Bears Go

Having shown strong form in top two-year-old sprints, the selection reappeared with a Group 3 win at Ascot last month and can follow up.

3.20 Curragh
Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas (Group 1), 1m

Native Trail is out to bounce back from his 2,000 Guineas second in the Irish equivalent, as his trainer Charlie Appleby bids to complete a Guineas treble. Joseph O'Brien's Buckaroo lines up here instead of going straight to the Derby and looks the principal danger.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Native Trail

No reason to oppose despite the loss of his flawless record at Newmarket, he appears head and shoulders above these rivals.

William Hill Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes (Group 3), 1m6f

The six fillies in the field have yet to visit the winner's enclosure this season although Believe In Love looks the likeliest to change that, having finished a solid sixth in the Ormonde Stakes.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Glenartney

Has looked a strong candidate for this step up in trip and could find the improvement needed.

3.45 Haydock
Cazoo Temple Stakes (Group 2), 5f

Nunthorpe winner Winter Power makes her seasonal reappearance in a hot field including three-time course winner Came From The Dark, Achilles Stakes scorer King's Lynn and Twilight Calls. Last week's York Listed winner Last Crusader is quickly turned out again.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Winter Power

If she returns to the form of her dazzling Nunthorpe success she'll be hard to beat. She was impressive on her reappearance last season and she gets the verdict.
