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

1.50 KemptonClose Brothers Pendil Novices' Chase (Grade 2), 2m4½f

Tamaroc Du Mathan was second to Shishkin in the Grade 2 Wayward Lad Novices' Chase at Kempton and heads a small but select field for trainer Paul Nicholls, who won this race with Cyrname and Frodon. His chief rival could be Ga Law, third in the Henry VIII Novices' Chase.

SPOTLIGHT TIP:

Ran well in Grade 2 here last time, for all that he was no match for Shishkin; respected


Saturday's racecards


2.05 Lingfield
Betway Hever Sprint Stakes (Listed), 5f

Moss Gill has run against some top sprinters, including when finishing third to Battaash in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes in August. He faces six rivals, including Rocket Action, who will be ridden by Hollie Doyle, and Blue De Vega, sixth in the Listed Rous Stakes last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP:Lord Riddiford

Better than ever this winter and has the inside stall; another big run on the cards

Close Brothers Adonis Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m

Tritonic made a perfect start to his career over hurdles when landing a juvenile event at Ascot for Alan King last month. He is the likely favourite ahead of Honneur D'Ajonc, who fell on his most recent start at Kempton in December, and the Gary Moore-trained Casa Loupi.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Casa Loupi

Gave Tritonic a scare at Ascot and he could be ideally served by this flatter track

Betway Winter Derby Stakes (Group 3), 1m2f

Father Of Jazz bids to extend his unbeaten record on the all-weather for Roger Varian in this competitive contest. It was won last year by Dubai Warrior, whose trainer John Gosden will be represented by Forest Of Dean, who finished behind Felix and Bangkok last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Felix

Much improved since joining this yard; shown he can produce his form in tactical events

Sky Bet Dovecote Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m

Atholl Street, who is owned by Trevor Hemmings, won twice over hurdles at Taunton by a combined 20 lengths and is the likely market leader, although he will face stiff competition from Calico, a winner at Ludlow on his most recent start for trainer Dan Skelton.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Atholl Street

Cruised clear on the bridle for latest Taunton win; looks a smart prospect; respected

Vertem Eider Handicap Chase, 4m1½f

Crosspark won this race by a neck in 2019 and has been consistent for trainer Caroline Bailey this season, finishing second in four starts. The marathon contest has attracted a typically competitive field, including Sam's Adventure and Big River.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Big River

Knows what these staying handicaps are about and likely contender on suitable ground

Close Brothers Handicap Chase (Grade 3), 3m

A number of familiar names appear in the field for this contest, such as Cap Du Nord, who was third in the Sky Bet Chase last month. He is joined by Al Dancer, Black Corton, ridden by Bryony Frost and Clondaw Castle, second to Master Tommytucker seven weeks ago.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Clondaw Castle

Very useful over 2m4f this term; looks ready for a crack at 3m under rules; one to note
