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

1.20 Ayr
Virgin Bet Handicap, 1m

Koy Koy continued his progressive season when third despite pulling at Newbury off this mark and the hood might help settle him. What's The Story remains well-treated on past form and might be the main danger.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: KOY KOY

Good third to Atrium (won again since) at Newbury latest; same mark here; hood added

Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup Stakes (Group 3), 1m3f

Siskany won at this level in Meydan earlier this year and his subsequent third in Riyadh Group 3 is arguably even stronger form. He is joined at the head of the market by fellow Godolphin runners Dubai Future and Kemari, both Royal Ascot winners.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SISKANY

Absent since February but has a huge shout if firing on all cylinders

1.55 Ayr
Virgin Bet Doonside Cup Stakes (Listed), 1m2f

Phantom Flight quickened five lengths clear in a York handicap last month and is the highest rated as he moves into Listed company. Euchen Glen has endured a luckless season and deserves a change in fortune.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: PHANTOM FLIGHT

Most progressive, hacking up in handicap at York Ebor meeting; the one to beat

2.15 Newbury
Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes (Group 3), 5f

Tis Marvellous arrives after winning successive Beverley Bullets and was a good third in this race twelve months ago. Manaccan gave John Ryan his first Pattern winner since 2017 at Doncaster and is another big player.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: DILIGENT HARRY

Raced mainly at 6f but he's 1-1 over 5f; has a bright chance on best form

2.30 Ayr
Virgin Bet Ayr Silver Cup Handicap, 6f

Tim Easterby has won two of the last three runnings and Snash, an unlucky sixth in the Great St Wilfrid, is well-fancied to enhance his great recent record. There is plenty of pace on the near side and hold-up performer Jump The Gun might take advantage on the wing.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: VINTAGE CLARETS

Smart 2yo who returned to form with game 5f win this month; still well treated; contender

2.50 Newbury
Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes (Group 2), 6f

Shouldvebeenaring pulled it out of the fire at Ripon last time and has plenty of experience over his main market rivals. Sakheer, an impressive Haydock winner who cost €550,000 and Heroism, a debut winner at Salisbury for the in-form Clive Cox, are other contenders.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: CHARYN

Fairly useful form in two runs; has two Mill Reef winners in his pedigree; big player

3.05 Ayr
Virgin Bet Firth Of Clyde Fillies' Stakes (Group 3), 6f

Queen Me missed out by a neck in the Lowther on her second start and is a short price to take advantage of the drop in class. Bonny Angel, an impressive nursery winner at Doncaster, should have more to offer and is respected.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: QUEEN ME

Won at Haydock then went close in the Lowther; should have more to offer; leading claims

3.25 Newbury
Dubai Duty Free Handicap, 1m2f

Hamaki underwent wind surgery and a gelding operation before his three-year-old campaign and bids for a hat-trick after gutsy wins at Haydock and Ascot. Warren Point continued his upward momentum at Glorious Goodwood and is feared.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: HAMAKI

Won at Haydock (1m2f, soft) and Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) on last two outings

3.40 Ayr
Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup Handicap, 6f

Commanche Falls bids to become the first horse since Coastal Bluff in 1996 to win the Stewards' Cup and Ayr Gold Cup in the same season. Last year's winner Bielsa is back for more and Khanjar, an impressive winner at Haydock this month, is also well-fancied.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: KHANJAR

Won 3 of his 4 starts over 6f; improving and a strongly run race looks sure to suit
