ITV Racing Tips: Raceolly's Five bets from Newmarket and Thirsk on Guineas weekend

Turning his attentions to the Flat now, our resident tipster Raceolly is back with his best bets for Saturday's racing, and he has picked out five tips from Newmarket and Thirsk on 2000 Guineas day at Flat HQ...

13:50 Newmarket - My Odds Boost On Betfair Handicap

Seven time winner BERNARDO O'REILLY returned with a good win in the Spring Mile at Doncaster for his sixth six furlong win to date and his next race may have come to soon when well fancied last time out at Windsor. Form of the Spring Mile is working out well and Richard Spencer has had three winners from his last 5 runners. Jockey Harry Davies has only had one ride for the yard before but that was a winner.

14:05 Thirsk - Fitzdares Thirsk Hunt Cup Handicap

EMPIRESTATEOFMIND has improved with every run and has a lot going for him here. Course and distance winner last August and form of latest win at Ripon has been franked multiple times with three winners already coming out of the race. He has a great draw in stall one and his trainer is having a good year with nine winners and 13 places from 56 runners.

14:25 Newmarket - Betfair Daily Rewards Suffolk Handicap

FOX POWER makes his debut for David Simcock who's had 12 runners in the last two weeks for two winners, five 2nds and a 3rd. He’s also had a great start to the season boasting a 19% win rate after 16 winners from 84 runners and a further 21 places. Fox Power may have done all his winning on the all weather but he has some good place form on the turf and runs off a 5lb lower mark. 4lb below his last winning mark here which came in February and placed off higher still and Tyler Heard having his first ride for the yard is a interesting booking.

15:00 Newmarket - Betfair Palace House Stakes

EXISTENT has had excuses on his last two starts, the first when missing the break and the second when not staying over further. Two career best impressive wins came before that over this trip and is one of only three course winners in the race. Could be a fair bit better than rating of 101 so not a major concern he’s running off level weights with a few rated higher with everything certain to suit here.

15:40 Newmarket - QIPCO 2000 Guineas

PERFECT POWER bids to keep his 100% record (3 from 3) with Christophe Soumillon in tact in the 2000 Guineas which included the Middle Park here as a two-year-old. Was keen to post on seasonal debut at Newbury in the Greenham but finished the race very strongly hitting the line well from Lusail and looked sure to stay the mile there. Richard Fahey has only had three runners in this over the last 20 years for a place and the Greenham has been a decent trial for this with two of the last 12 winners coming from that race. Ticks plenty of trends and is a nice each way price.
