The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson's three horse racing tips from Ayr, Newbury and Chester on Saturday

Three horses to include in a treble on Saturday . . .


Phantom Flight (1.50 Ayr)

Produced a career best when getting the better of Al Aasy in the Listed Steventon Stakes at Newbury on his reappearance in July and has supplemented that form with two placed efforts in Group 3 company since. He was beaten little more than a length when trying to give the Group 1-calibre See The Fire 10lb at York last time, with the reopposing Enfjaar two and a half lengths behind, and the extra furlong, coupled with the drying ground, make him a major player despite his 3lb penalty.

Waxing Gibbous (2.05 Newbury)

Has shown big improvement since sent handicapping, recording form figures of 2122 and producing progressive RPRs of 76, 83, 85 and 91. She was having her first go at 1m6f when making a well-handicapped sort from David O'Meara pull out all the stops in the Old Borough Cup and although she's been raised 5lb since, the pair pulled five lengths clear of the third and she could have plenty more to offer at staying trips, while she'll have no problems coping if conditions turn testing.

Qitaal (5.20 Chester)

Made a winning stable debut for Charlie Johnston off the back of a near two-year absence at Doncaster in March and is now just 2lb higher despite running well in much better races than this since, including going down by a neck off a 4lb higher mark in a Class 2 event at Goodwood in May. His sole start at Chester was full of promise, going down by little more than a length in a Class 3 handicap when trying to give 7lb to Grey Cuban, who is now rated 13lb higher having won twice since. The return to this trip looks ideal, having not got home over two furlongs further last time, and he should take advantage of this workable mark dropping into Class 4 company for the first time.
