The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson's three horse racing tips from Wetherby, Ascot and Southwell on Saturday

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

Choosethenews goes well fresh and returns just 2lb higher than when chasing home a subsequent winner at Hexham in May. He was unlucky to win just once last season, as he ran into subsequent Brown Advisory third Giovinco on his reappearance before finishing third in a race that has worked out well at Carlisle in March – the winner, second and fourth (twice) all followed up next time – and there should be more to come this term.

Leader In The Park (1.30 Ascot)

Leader In The Park looks well handicapped on the pick of his hurdles form, notably splitting 132-rated and 129-rated rivals at Ascot last November, and looks the most obvious of these to improve over fences, given he won a point-to-point by 56 lengths in February last year. He was an expensive purchase after that point success and can cash in on a lenient mark here.

King Of Ithaca (5.50 Southwell)

Two runs over this course and distance have yielded a win and a close third and he's 1lb lower than for that latter effort. It's easy to put a line through his latest run at Kempton, as he was drawn wide and the race was slowly run, and he should get more of a pace to aim at this time. This represents a drop in class and he should take some beating.
