ITV Racing Tips - Saturday 25th May


1:15pm Haydock - Silver Bowl Handicap Tips


An interesting opener, where I fancy a punt on APIARIST (25/1) at a lengthy price. Kevin Ryan's colt landed a big pot on his final juvenile start, recovering well after a slow start to snatch victory in the £100k Final at York.

Ryan pitched Apiarist into a competitive conditions race on his reappearance at Newmarket, where he was beaten nine lengths back in fifth, but didn't run badly considering the quality of the opposition. Clifford Lee's mount drops down into handicap company today and Apiarist relished soft ground when scoring at York in October.

1:30pm Goodwood - Harroways Handicap Tips


With no shortage of potential front-runners in the field, this seven-furlong contest is sure to be run at a decent pace. That should suit favourite Al Shabab Storm, who could still be well-handicapped. At the prices, I'd rather back MISSION TO MOON (14/1) who was only upped four pounds for a taking course-and-distance win on 2000 Guineas day.

A winner here as a juvenile, Roger Varian's colt made it two-from-two around Goodwood when powering home from the rear to beat Fair Angelica and Kingdom Of Riches. Aidan Keeley comes in to take three pounds off his back and, from a wide draw in stall 16, Mission To Moon might have to be played late once again.

1:50pm Haydock - Temple Stakes Tips


Nunthorpe hero, Live In The Dream makes his reappearance in this Group Two and his record on the back of a break is good. Australian raider Asfoora has won at Group Two level in her homeland and is two-from-two on genuinely soft ground, but this might be a prep run ahead of the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The first three from last month's Palace House Stakes clash again, with runner-up Vadream sitting ahead of Seven Questions and Beautiful Diamond in the market. One length behind them in fifth that day was KERDOS (22/1), who stepped up massively after a poor reappearance effort at Bath.

Last year's Beverley Bullet winner was held up behind a strong pace at Newmarket, but was finishing well when hampered in the closing stages. Kerdos gradually improved throughout last season and Clive Cox has had three winners and a second from his last six runners.

2:05pm Goodwood - Height Of Fashion Stakes Tips


Despite her maiden status, BEELEY (6/1) has shown enough to suggest that she can contend in black-type races. The Gosden's filly ran a cracker on debut at Nottingham last season, but broke free and ran loose twice during the autumn, meaning the team couldn't get another juvenile run into her.

Beeley was backed into favouritism for a novice at Sandown on her reappearance, but was beaten into second by stablemate Siyola, with Musidora winner Secret Satire back in third. Benoit De La Sayette's mount shaped with promise in the Cheshire Oaks before getting tired late on, so this drop back in trip seems like a sensible move. 

2:25pm Haydock - Sandy Lane Stakes Tips


No bet for me here. I fully expect Vandeek to win, but I'm not one to back odds-on shots. 

2:45pm York - Sprint Handicap Tips


No bet for me here either. Cases can be made for plenty, but my record in sprints at York is pretty poor and this is too close for me to call.

3:00pm Haydock - New Boston Handicap Tips


STERLING KNIGHT (10/1) hasn't travelled to Haydock since the autumn of 2022, when Ed Dunlop's star claimed back-to-back wins at this venue over six furlongs - the last coming on heavy ground.

With Morgan Cole in the saddle, Sterling Knight won at Windsor on his third outing of last season, before scoring in a red-hot handicap on the all-weather at Wolverhampton in November. While he may have struggled on his most recent outing in a Heritage Handicap at Newmarket, Sterling Knight ran with great credit on his reappearance at Doncaster and enters this weaker race running off a winnable mark.

3:20pm York - Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes Tips


Jessica Harrington's flat runners have started the season in good form and I'm interested to see how TREVAUNANCE (9/1) copes with this new distance. Harrington's filly hasn't won since the summer of 2022, but did run some fine races last term, finishing a close fourth in the Prix Jean Romanet before another narrow defeat in the Group One Preis Von Europa.

Unlike many of the rivals she'll face on Saturday, Trevaunance will be race-fit after two runs out in Meydan and a narrow defeat at Cork last month. Scott McCullagh won't be able to use his claimer in this Graded race and this will be his first ride on UK soil, but he has ridden over 50 winners in Ireland and Trevaunance could improve for this extended distance. 

3:30pm Haydock - Hell Nook Handicap Tips


Nothing really tickles my fancy in this two-mile handicap. No bet here.
