Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's six meetings
Saturday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team
Cheltenham
1.50: Madara
Paddy Power eyecatcher Madara has this race written all over him and is first choice ahead of In Excelsis Deo, who ties in with the selection on Cheltenham running this day 12 months ago. Le Patron (third choice) is respected for still being unbeaten in handicap chases, while Stage Star, Ga Law and last year's winner Fugitif are familiar faces who hold strong claims in this suitable scenario. Steve Boow
Doncaster
2.05: Gaboriot
The step back up in trip could be ideal for Gaboriot following his staying-on third in the Grand Sefton over 2m5f at Aintree last month and he earns the vote. Sail Away is well handicapped on last season's best C&D form and is feared most having shown encouraging signs before falling four out at Newbury last month. Last year's winner Forward Plan is next on the list, while the step up in trip is worth a go with Straw Fan Jack. Ben Hutton
Fairyhouse
12.30: Beyond Your Dreams
Gordon Elliott has won the last three runnings of this maiden hurdle so a market watch is advised for the former John & Thady Gosden-trained Chortal on his Irish debut. Slurricane brings a solid level of form to the table, but Beyond Your Dreams holds the form edge and will prove difficult to beat. Ballyearl is respected on his debut for a powerful yard, while solid Flat performers Teofimo and Young Churchill are also respected. Adrian Wall
Newcastle
1.22: Chemical Warfare
Having had a possible excuse at Wetherby Chemical Warfare is taken to bounce back and land a sixth win of the campaign. The main threat may come from Overcourt, who was out of sorts when last seen but has a good record fresh and is well treated if staging a revival. Andrew Sheret
Southwell
6.15: Alshimali
Captain Vallo (second choice) and the hat-trick seeking Havana Sky hold solid claims but Alshimali is unexposed and shouldn't be long in breaking his duck judged on his recent second at Lingfield. Paul Smith
Wolverhampton
7.30: Book Of Life
The 3yo Tenyatta receives weight all round and shapes as if she'll stay this longer trip but stronger claims are held by the bang-in-form Book Of Life who can finally capitalise on some leniency from the handicapper. Next on the list is Jumeira Vision for whom Kaiya Fraser is a positive booking, while Mykonos St John and City Cyclone need considering as well. Richard O'Brien
