Today’s Racing Tips – October 5th

Saturday’s ITV cameras bring the best of the flat action from Ascot, Redcar and Newmarket, with an excellent mix of Group and listed races alongside some typically competitive heritage handicaps.

In this article:

Today’s Daily Nap

WISPER

Newmarket 1.30 (UK time)

A slow break and poor early positon was a valid excuse for a rare poor run at Haydock last time out, and Marcus Tregoning’s likeable mare is just the type to bounce back to her best at Newmarket. She has endured a blank season so far, but this six time winner is now handicapped to win on her best recent form and can swoop late under Marco Ghiani.

Odds: 9.00

Today’s Value Angle

UNCLE DON

Redcar 3.20 (UK time)

Richard Fahey’s progressive juvenile looked a very unlucky loser of a valuable Ayr listed contest last time out, hampered leaving the stalls and soon in an impossible position but flying home for a closing second behind Star of Mehmas. The yard has hit top form with five winners in the last week, and he remains with loads of scope to do better after just three career starts so far.

Odds: 6.00

bet with WILLIAM HILLOdds correct as at 1am October 5th, 2024. Odds may now differ.

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday October 5th

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:30	Newmarket	WISPER	A slow break and poor early positon was a valid excuse for a rare poor run at Haydock last time out, and Marcus Tregoning’s likeable mare is just the type to bounce back to her best at Newmarket. She has endured a blank season so far, but this six time winner is now handicapped to win on her best recent form and can swoop late under Marco Ghiani.
1:50	Ascot	BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND	Karl Burke’s three time winning filly had been running well in victory and defeat until finding Group 1 company at the Curragh too much last time out, and can bounce back to her best form at Ascot on Saturday under Clifford Lee.
2:05	Newmarket	INVINCIBLE ANNICE	Karl Burke has enjoyed a fantastic season (continues in great form with 7 winners in the last fortnight), and his tough filly looked ready for six furlongs when finishing a good third in a Hamilton nursery last time out.
2:25	Ascot	AL AASY	William Haggas’s smooth traveller has returned better than ever this season, and he can complete a hat-trick by landing a sub-standard renewal of this Group 3 prize.
2:40	Newmarket	SEE THE FIRE	Andrew Balding’s form shows no sign of slowing down as the flat season draws to a close, with 7 winners in the last fortnight, and his progressive performer impressed at York last time out over 1m1f.
3:00	Ascot	ADAAY IN DEVON	Rod Millman’s stable star has a fantastic attitude under pressure at the business end of her races, and that could count for plenty in the soft conditions likely at Ascot on Saturday. Jason Hart is sure to be positive on the battle-hardened filly, and she can fend off all these rivals from the front.
3:20	Redcar	UNCLE DON	Richard Fahey’s progressive juvenile looked a very unlucky loser of a valuable Ayr listed contest last time out, hampered leaving the stalls and soon in an impossible position but flying home for a closing second behind Star of Mehmas. The yard has hit top form with five winners in the last week, and he remains with loads of scope to do better after just three career starts so far.
3:35	Ascot	FRESH	James Fanshawe’s Ascot specialist delivered what he has been threatening all season here last time out over six furlongs, and can reward each-way support under Danny Tudhope in this huge field of classy handicappers.
