There are 7 races on ITV on Saturday, with the cameras covering the best of the jumping action from Kelso and Newbury.

In this artice:

Today’s Daily Nap
Autumn Return
Kelso 3:00 (UK time)
Ruth Jefferson’s mare made a cracking start in handicaps when second at Newcastle in January, bumping into a gambled on Irish raider from the Stuart Crawford yard. She remain with plenty of upside after just five runs over hurdles, and the booking of the red hot 5lb claimer Patrick Wadge certainly increases confidence of a bold showing in this valuable mares finale.
Odds: NA
Today’s Value Angle
Lets Go To Vegas
Newbury 2:40 (UK time)
Alastair Ralph does really well with a small team of horses, and his progressive mare showed a good attitude under pressure to make a winning start into handicaps at Ludlow earlier in the month. A new mark demands more, but this more galloping track on soft ground should bring about further improvement under the excellent Jonathan Burke.
Odds: NA
Odds are best odds available as at 9am March 25th 2023. Odds may now differ.
ITV Racing Tips – Saturday March 25th
Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
---|---|---|---|
1:50 | Kelso | Prairie Wolf | Sue Smith’s handicapper has improved for more positive tactics and a test of stamina in recent months, and remains open to improvement over hurdles after just seven career starts. |
2:05 | Newbury | Helthenham | Dan Skelton’s improving chaser is worth sticking with after two wins in small races at Newcastle and Ffos Las this winter (only edged up the weights), and he can defy a career high mark here on eased ground that suits ideally. |
2:25 | Kelso | Theme Tune | Nick Alexander’s useful sort has been a revelation this winter since arriving from Jonjo O’Neill, and he can defy the handicapper by competing a hat-trick at Kelso on Saturday. |
2:40 | Newbury | Lets Go To Vegas | Alastair Ralph does really well with a small team of horses, and his progressive mare showed a good attitude under pressure to make a winning start into handicaps at Ludlow earlier in the month. A new mark demands more, but this more galloping track on soft ground should bring about further improvement under the excellent Jonathan Burke. |
3:00 | Kelso | Autumn Return | Ruth Jefferson’s mare made a cracking start in handicaps when second at Newcastle in January, bumping into a gambled on Irish raider from the Stuart Crawford yard. She remain with plenty of upside after just five runs over hurdles, and the booking of the red hot 5lb claimer Patrick Wadge certainly increases confidence of a bold showing in this valuable mares finale. |
3:15 | Newbury | Love Is Golden | Gary Moore’s novice failed to defy a penalty when well backed at Doncaster in February, but he had looked above average in winning over this course and distance previously, and can resume his progress under Niall Houlihan. |
3:35 | Kelso | Forward Plan | “Anthony Honeyball now has his team firing on all cylinders, and his improving 7-y-o chaser can complete a hat-trick after two impressive wins on good ground at Southwell. The claimer Ben Godfrey takes off a handy 3lb, and the eased decent ground conditions should be ideal. |
