Saturday ITV Racing Tips
Time | Track | Selection | Analysis |
---|---|---|---|
13:55 | CHELTENHAM | MAGIC SAINT | Paul Nicholls chaser dropped a big hint he was on the way back last time out, and the decent ground expected at Cheltenham on Saturday should suit ideally under the promising claimer Tom Buckley. |
14:10 | DONCASTER | MISS HERITAGE | Lucy Wadham’s mare has been running herself into top form this winter, with her latest third suggesting she is coming to the boil at the right time to take this valuable Grade 2. |
14:30 | CHELTENHAM | SIMPLY THE BETTS | Paul Nicholls recent arrival bounced right back to his best form when second in a huge field handicap on New Years Day here, and can take another step forward on decent ground that is expected to suit. |
14:45 | DONCASTER | BRIDGE NORTH | Henry Daly’s novice has improved run to run in four starts so far over timber, and there is loads more to come as his stamina is further drawn out, with this step up to a stiff three miles should suit ideally. |
15:05 | CHELTENHAM | CHAMP | Nicky Henderson’s classy stayer has had plenty of training issues over the last couple of years, but he looked right back to his very best when winning on his seasonal debut at Ascot, and can take this Grade 2 en-route to the Stayers Hurdle at the Festival in March |
15:20 | DONCASTER | MIDNIGHT SHADOW | Sue Smith’s tough and genuine frontrunner has run three excellent races in top handicaps already this winter, and he could take plenty of catching if able to dominate this big field at Doncaster on Saturday. |
15:40 | CHELTENHAM | BALCO COASTAL | Nicky Henderson’s novice has really impressed in winning at Huntingdon and Ludlow this winter, and that latest win has been well advertised since by the runner-up Frere D’Armes. This step up to 2m5f promises to bring about plenty more improvement, and he is the type to make up into a cracking novice chaser next season. |
