Horse Racing Tips: Check out all the best bets on Saturday
There's a sensational day's racing taking place on Saturday with some top class action occurring in the UK & Ireland as the Group 2 Temple Stakes and Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes lights up Haydock Park's Flat action, while the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas is the feature race at the Curragh this afternoon. We preview all today's racing here and pick out some of the most eye-catching bets on a busy day...
Former Nunthorpe Stakes winner Winter Power is a red-hot favourite to win the Temple Stakes at Haydock Park at 15:45, and the Tim Easterby-trained raider is currently trading as the 13/8 favourite for the sprint contest, and the classy sprinter is the best bet of The Scout from the Daily Express, who is looking to build on a fine current profit of £14.31.
Lambourn of the Racing Post sits in second spot in the naps table and that tipster is taking on Winter Power and has sided with the 11/2 chance Twilight Calls, while Chris Wright from the Liverpool Echo is backing the 6/1 chance King's Lynn to cause a minor shock in what should be a thrilling showpiece event.
The Sandy Lane Stakes 35 minutes should provide another fascinating spectacle as some star three-year-olds attempt to cement their names in next month's Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, and Garry Owen of the Daily Record, who is third in the naps table, has put up the 14/1 chance Beauty Inspire for the 6f event. Mercury of the Daily Post has napped the 3/1 fancy El Caballo, while the Sunday Express tipster is fancying the warm favourite Go Bears Go to prevail at 9/4 in what should be a thrilling renewal.
Native Trail is a hot favourite for the Irish 2000 Guineas and it's hard to not see Charlie Appleby's 2000 Guineas runner-up not prevailing, but The Punt from the Racing Post is taking on the Godolphin raider in the 15:20 Classic at the Curragh, and is backing the 50/1 outsider Duke De Sessa, who looks to fancy an uphill task in the Group 1 event.
Rob Wright from The Times is the most in-form tipster heading into Saturday's racing, as he has notched up three winning selections on the bounce, and he heads to Haydock Park's 14:35 contest for his best bet of the day. Clive Cox's unbeaten Whoputfiftyinyou has recorded three wins from three stars during his fledgling career and he's an eye-catching 9/1 to make it four from four today. Incidentally, Cox's charge has proven the most popular selection amongst our tipsters as three of them fancy the improving star to continue his unblemished record today.
Naps table leader Expert Eye is comfortably clear at the top with a sparkling profit of £39.21 and the top tipster heads to Goodwood's Flat card today and is backing the 5/1 chance Gisburn in the 13:45 race. Richard Hannon's three-year-old will have the burden of top weight in the event and ended last season winning at Newbury, so if he can kick on from that effort then he will be one of the leading players here.
Other eye-catching best bets on Saturday include 5/1 chance Northern Express, who is the selection of Postdata from the Racing Post, and that charge bids for glory in the 13:40 at York, while the Grant Tuer-trained Illusionist is a 20/1 chance for the 14:55 at York, and is a fascinating best bet for Steve Mullington.
