After the wet weather claimed Saturday's jumps fixtures, ITV Racing will be showing all-weather action from Kempton and Chelmsford. We'll also head over to the Curragh for the Group Three Alleged Stakes if that meeting passes a morning inspection.

Here are my best betting tips for Saturday's ITV races.

ITV Racing Tips - Saturday 6th April

1:30pm Kempton - Novice Stakes Tips

It's no surprise to see the two with recent runs under their belts heading the market for Saturday's opener. Grandlad gave a 1/2 favourite a fright on debut at Newcastle last month and James Horton's youngster is sure to improve for that experience.

AURIC (11/2) wasn't given the chance to challenge on his debut at Wolverhampton. Having broken smartly, Brandon Wilkie slammed the breaks on straight away to position his mount at the rear, from where Auric ran on in the closing stages to finish fourth.

Two more experienced rivals finished first and third in that maiden, and the second who was also making his debut has won well since. Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle today and I'm expecting Auric to build on that promising debut.

2:05pm Kempton - Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes Tips

The one I want to side with here is MYSTIC PEARL (13/2), who won't have to shoulder a penalty for her victory in the Listed Coral Distaff back in July.

William Haggas' filly went close in a Group Three on her final outing of last season at Deauville. Mystic Pearl will be sharper than most of her rivals here, having run twice in Meydan during February. Cieren Fallon's mount went close on her only previous all-weather start and will wear cheek-pieces for the first time on Saturday.

2:40pm Kempton - Rosebery Handicap Tips

YOUTHFUL KING (11/1) won over this in-between distance at Windsor during the summer and has shaped well in defeat several times since. Luke Dace's five-year-old was only beaten two lengths on both of his starts at Lingfield last month, staying on strongly from the rear on both occasions.

Ethan Jones will take seven pounds off, leaving Youthful King getting weight from the entire field in this classy contest. If Jones can find a nice early position from a wide draw out in stall ten, I could see Dace's five-year-old finishing with a flourish.

2:55pm Curragh - Alleged Stakes Tips

If Saturday's card at the Curragh goes ahead, then I'll be keen to side with WHITE BIRCH (5/2), who drops back down to ten furlongs for his reappearance. John Murphy's grey finished third in the Epsom Derby last season, but wasn't at his best on his final two starts over a mile-and-a-half.

White Birch powered home to win the Ballysax on heavy ground first time out last season, and went on to run a cracker in the Dante at York. This could turn out to be the best trip for White Birch, who's not devoid of a finishing kick, and Billy Lee's mount is already proven on bottomless going.

3:15pm Kempton - Queen's Prize Handicap Tips

I haven't got a strong opinion on this two-mile handicap. Duty Of Care is interesting on his return to Kempton, a track he seems to relish. Jamie Osbourne's six-year-old is running off a decent mark too, but I'd only fancy backing Duty Of Care each-way and 10/1 isn't a particularly attractive price.

3:30pm Chelmsford - Woodford Reserve Cardinal Conditions Stakes Tips

No bet for me here either. I don't fancy backing Capulet at 11/10, but he brings by far the strongest form into this contest and boasts winning experience on the all-weather.

3:45pm Kempton - Fillies' Conditions Stakes Tips

There's nothing to back in the final ITV race of the day either. Devoted Queen is fully deserving of her current odds-on price and there's no value against her in the market.
