Epic Cheat Sheet for ITV Racing on Saturday

SECRET SQUIRREL was winner at Taunton and he’s received type on good floor.

There could also be extra to come back from BE AWARE (each-way) who’s again down in journey for the Skelton workforce of coach Dan and jockey, Harry.

MAASAI MARA (each-way) makes his handicap debut over fences, having been a reasonably respectable hurdler. As a four-year-old he additionally will get the weight-for-age allowance.

I’m going for CANNOCK PARK for Paul Robson. He’s not simple however he’s very proficient. He gained a bumper at Bangor final 12 months and he adopted that up with a win at Cheltenham in November. He’s a good horse and his score of 131 is workable.

STEEL ALLY pulled clear with final week’s Cheltenham winner Doyen Quest on his Newbury handicap debut final month and would possibly show the reply to this ultra-competitive opener.

THUNDER ROAR ran an excellent race over 1m at Doncaster final time for second. With that run below his belt and a flowery for smooth floor, this horse is a participant.

The highest weights Raadobarg and Al Mubhir have situations of their favour and have apparent class probabilities however they’ve to offer loads of weight to THUNDER ROAR who certainly will likely be bang within the combine.

RAADOBARG didn’t run too badly within the Spring Cup final week when seventh, however he’s lots happier with smooth or heavy within the going description now.

AL MUBHIR was a clear-cut winner of this race 12 months in the past and whereas he’s 7lb increased this time spherical, the 5-year-old seems the best way to go together with situations in his favour.

I feel this journey, at this observe, is tailored for THE REAL WHACKER. He’ll love all the things about this place.

HITMAN by no means fairly delivers what you need, however he travelled like a machine towards Shishkin within the Denman Chase at Newbury. If he bounces again to type in receipt of some weight, he can bag a good prize.

This contest tends to go to a cultured performer and appears like alternative for THE REAL WHACKER to get again on observe. If he’s bounced out in entrance and will get into a pleasant rhythm, he ought to love the check that Sandown gives.

Fairly a couple of of those are slightly below Grade 1 horses however I’m siding with GA LAW. He received outpaced within the Ryanair at Cheltenham and the drop in grade will go well with him. He can get again on observe right here.

HITMAN has produced his high-class type solely as soon as this time period however he’s favoured by the weights right here and this doesn’t look a robust renewal.

ROACH POWER gained right here on heavy floor so there’s no issues there. He appeared in want of a run final time and with solely 8st 2lb to hold, he’s the one.

LOOK BACK SMILING comes right here with a giant probability. The return to 7f ought to be superb and he wasn’t disgraced within the Spring Cup at Newbury.

ZIP (each-way) has successful type on smooth and heavy floor and makes loads of enchantment and he’s a former course winner.

Marco Botti has his steady in good nick so his handily-weighted RAINBOW FIRE is fancied to repeat his success on this occasion 12 months in the past.

JONBON’S received a fast turnaround however I’m not involved about that, this can be a observe he excels at and he’s unbeaten spherical right here over fences.

Right here we go – lastly we get El Fabiolo v Jonbon! I’ve all the time thought EL FABIOLO is the very best two-miler round and let’s hope he bounces again after his Cheltenham effort final time.

JONBON stunned me along with his willpower to win at Aintree and has all the time gone effectively at Sandown. He gained this contest final 12 months from Captain Guinness.

EL FABIOLO is in nice type at residence and he’s flying regardless of his Cheltenham mistake. I watched him throughout the week and I’m actually proud of him. I’m anticipating him to win.

EL FABIOLO and Jonbon have met twice earlier than and the rating stands at 1-1. The choice was firmly in command once they locked horns within the Arkle final spring and, regardless of fluffing his strains within the Champion Chase, he stays the star attraction within the two-mile chasers’ division. Edwardstone is better of the remaining.

I’m backing LE MILOS for the Skelton workforce. He’s calmly raced, in contrast to a few of these, and I actually like this horse.

AMIRITE (each-way) was favorite for the 2023 Irish Nationwide landed by subsequent Aintree winner I Am Maximus and I don’t assume he’s out of this for Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore.

I believe that is as near the plan as you may get for LE MILOS, given his interrupted season. Given he gained the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in 2022 over this journey, it seems an apparent finish of season goal now.

Willie Mullins has a couple of in right here however I’m siding with Henry de Bromhead’s runner AMIRITE. I can see why a couple of are on him as he’s been crying out for the bottom. He’s recent and he hasn’t ran since Christmas. He’ll go effectively.

There are lots with claims in a sometimes aggressive renewal of this contest, together with final 12 months’s victor KITTY’S LIGHT, who seems pretty handled in his bid for a repeat success.
