ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the eight races on ITV4 on Saturday

1.45 Newmarket
British EBF Premier Fillies' Handicap, 1m2f

With only two weeks remaining in the jockeys' championship, William Buick teams up with his old ally Andrew Balding on Achelois. Rival Oisin Murphy could extend his title lead on Swoon, an impressive winner of her last two starts.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: STATE OCCASION

Apparently more to give on latest outing (1m) and she's sister to a smart 1m2f winner

2.05 AscotOakman Group Rous Stakes, Listed, 5f

The progressive Hurricane Ivor drops back into Listed company as he attempts to land a quickfire hat-trick following success in the Portland Handicap and Group 3 International Trophy. Opponents include Beverley Bullet winner Tis Marvellous and Dakota Gold, winner of this race for the last two years.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: HURRICANE IVOR

In the form of his life at about 5f (good to soft/good); won Group 3 latest; good chance

£150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, 6f

Fearby has been knocking on the door in the top juvenile races and will be a warm order to provide Ed Bethell with the biggest win of his career. He faces 29 other rivals, including the unbeaten Tatsumaki and the experienced Adaay In Asia.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: FEARBY

Cast-iron form claims after holding his own at Group level

ABF/BGC Cumberland Lodge Stakes, Group 3, 1m4f

Hukum was touted as a dark horse for the Arc following two impressive Group 3 victories this season but suffered a shock defeat in the September Stakes at Kempton last month. The highly progressive Title and Ebor runner-up Quickthorn will make this a stern test.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: QUICKTHORN

Royal Ascot winner; resumed progress over 1m6f lately but he is one to take seriously

Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes, Group 1, 1m

Mother Earth returns to the scene of her greatest triumph in the 1,000 Guineas in May and is on a retrieval mission following an unlucky third in the Matron Stakes last time. Falmouth Stakes winner Snow Lantern and No Speak Alexander, who beat Mother Earth in the Matron, also feature in a red-hot renewal.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: TAHLIE

Progressed well before eighth in a Group 1 won by Mother Earth when she had excuses

John Guest Racing Bengough Stakes, Group 3, 6f

Glen Shiel is yet to win since his Champions Sprint success over course and distance last October but has a great opportunity to get his head in front again without a penalty as Paul Mulrennan takes over from the suspended Hollie Doyle.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: GLEN SHIEL

Below par the last twice; fast ground excuses latest run; Group 1 C&D winner last October

3.35 Redcar
William Hill Two Year Old Trophy, Listed, 6f

Royal Ascot winner Chipotle faced high-quality opposition in his most recent starts and drops back into calmer waters following his ninth in the Flying Childers at the St Leger meeting. Vintage Clarets, Anadora and Last Crusader head a strong challenge for the north, while Tom Dascombe saddles three.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: VINTAGE CLARETS

Third in the Coventry; has the best chance at the weights; yard won this in 2017 and 2019

3.50 Ascot
Equine Productions 'The Fall' Challenge Cup, 7f

River Nymph was an impressive winner over course and distance in the Victoria Cup in May and bids to complete a rare double in this heritage handicap. He is one of two in the race for Clive Cox, along with recent hat-trick scorer Aratus, while 2018 winner Accidental Agent also lines up.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: FRESH

Two fine runs over 6f here this term and he's a strong finisher at that trip; first 7f run
