The One Stop Racing resident expert previews all eight races live on ITV on Saturday afternoon as the ITV cameras go to Haydock, Ascot and Kempton on Sprint Cup day.
ITV Races
1.45 Haydock – LORD GLITTERS – Easily the best of these, just failed last time carrying a penalty and effectively 7lb better off today.
2.05 Kempton – FEARLESS ANGEL E/W – Maiden winner in July and was keeping on well when 5th in a hot listed race at Newbury last time. Expected to progress again and has a big each way claim.
2.20 Haydock – VALLEY FORGE – Classy when winning at York doing just enough. Will be hard to beat.
2.40 Kempton – HUKUM no bet – Impossible to oppose and should complete a GR3 hattrick.
2.55 Haydock – AUTUMN WAR E/W – Runner up last 3 runs and a similar run will put him on the premises again.
3.10 Ascot – CHALK STREAM E/W – Royal runner who is 3 from 5 in handicaps, runner up last time franked the form last week by winning a tough race at Beverley with something in hand.
3.30 Haydock – CREATIVE FORCE E/W – Unlucky in running when 5th behind today’s odds on favourite STARMAN in the July Cup and should be a lot closer today.
3.45 Ascot – VIA SERENDIPITY E/W – Comfortable winner at Windsor last time. Still 5lb below best turf win and a full stone lower than his AW mark makes him a well handicapped contender.
