ITV Racing tips: one key runner from the nine races on ITV4 on Friday
All-Weather Mile Championships Conditions Stakes, 1m
My Oberon is likely to be one of the shorter priced runners as he is down in class after competing in a Group 1 at Meydan, his biggest competition may come from Bless Him who is 2-3 at Newcastle.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: MY OBERON
Sixth in Group 1 Dubai Turf last month; leading claims now back in calmer waters
Betway All-Weather Vase Sprint Handicap, 6f
Crimson Sand has run his best races at this track and looks a solid option in what is a very open handicap. Jack’s Point has found a new lease of life since switching to Tony Carroll’s yard.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: SHALLOW HAL
Running well of late and should have another big effort in him
Betway All-Weather Sprint Championships Conditions Stakes, 6f
Venturous will likely get the strong pace he needs and his last two visits to this track have yielded two victories at the expense of reopposing rivals Judicial and Mondammej.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: SPYCATCHER
Strong late run for Lingfield Listed win in February; this track could suit even better
2.55 Lingfield
Coral All-Weather Vase Three-Year-Old Handicap, 6f
Vespasian was a comfortable winner on his handicap debut last time out and looks capable of winning again. Ado McGuinness sends Form Of Praise who has been in good form on the all-weather in Ireland.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: RESILIENCE
2-2 for new yard, both over 5f; no problem with the extra furlong; could fare better yet
Coral 3 Year Old All-Weather Championships Conditions Stakes, 6f
El Caballo looks to bring up his five-timer after scoring in Listed class last time out. He faces an unexposed rival in the form of Tiber Flow from the William Haggas yard, who won this race with a similar type in 2017.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: TIBER FLOW
3-3 following cosy handicap debut win and he could have plenty more to offer
3.45 NewcastleCoral All-Weather Fillies' And Mares' Championships Conditions Stakes, 7f
Internationalangel won six in a row before having a torrid time of it last time out and could quickly restore her winning ways. Highfield Princess is the highest rated runner in the field so deserves respect.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: INTERNATIONALANGEL
Won 5 handicaps (C&D on last occasion) before Listed race was too tough; firmly in the mix
All-Weather Vase Mile Handicap, 1m
Proclaimer is on a roll and has won seven of his last eight starts. Mobashr has won two from his three course and distance attempts so has to be involved.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: KARIBANA
Out of sorts so far this year but on a good mark and W Buick has a fine record on him
4.15 Newcastle
Betway All-Weather Marathon Championships Conditions Stakes, 2m½f
Nate The Great won over track and trip last time out and will bid to give Andrew Balding back to back success in this race. Grandmaster Flash is sent over from Ireland to take the spoils.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: SLEEPING LION
Has a very solid AW record; won latest outing and he's a leading contender on form
4.45 Newcastle
Betway Easter Classic All-Weather Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes, 1m2f
Tyrrhenian Sea was repeatedly short of room on his first attempt at this trip at Kempton and was only beaten half a length; he looks the one to beat.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: CHARLESQUINT
French challenger; solid on Polytrack recently, delivered late for 9.5f win last time
