ITV Racing Tips - Saturday 27th September


1:50pm Newmarket - Royal Lodge Stakes Tips


Racing's super-power owners will clash in Saturday's opening Group Two. Godolphin, Ballydoyle, Amo and Wathnan all have runners, but I'm hoping to see the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's owned BOW ECHO (15/8) maintain his unbeaten record.

George Boughey's youngster was my NAP of the day when he lined up in the Ascendent Stakes, but I was still surprised to see Billy Loughnane's mount backed into odds-on favouritism over Publish. As the betting suggested, that race turned into a straight shootout between the market leaders, and it was Bow Echo who narrowly prevailed.

Both showed signs of inexperience, but I was delighted with the way Bow Echo finished out his race and saw off a highly talented rival. Boughey has been waxing lyrical about his youngster during the build-up. I'm confident Bow Echo will live up to the hype.

2:05pm Haydock - Cruise Line Handicap Tips


The low side of the track looks like the place to be in this sprint handicap, and LETHAL NYMPH (14/1) has conditions to suit. Paul Midgley's six-year-old has done most of his winning on juicy ground, and was only upped two pounds for a hard-fought victory during Doncaster's St Leger Meeting.

Lethal Nymph went close a couple of times off this mark during the spring, and challenged off higher marks in some hot handicaps last season. James Sullivan will be delighted with his draw in stall three and Lethal Nymph remains well-handicapped.

3:15pm Haydock - Oddschecker Handicap Tips


TILTED KILT (15/2) clearly likes the track here at Haydock. I backed William Knight's star at a massive price when second to Teroomm here earlier in the season, and Andrew Mullen's mount went close again on his most recent outing here three weeks ago.

Tilted Kilt powered home from the rear, but his challenge came up half-a-length short of the well-handicapped Special Ghaiyyath. Knight's three-year-old remains on a lovely mark of 83 and all of the pace seems to have been drawn on his side of the straight.

3:40pm Newmarket - Cambridgeshire Handicap Tips


At the ante-post stage, I backed REAL GAIN (14/1) at 25/1. Richard Hughes' course-and-distance winner topped the betting for this handicap 12 months ago, but was withdrawn during the week after working poorly, and wasn't seen again until Glorious Goodwood this season.

Despite that year-long absence, James Doyle's mount ran a screamer in the Golden Mile. Real Gain was up with the pace throughout, and only course specialist Rhoscolyn and the in-form Ebt's Guard were able to pass Hughes' returning star in the closing stages.

Fifth Column, Greek Order and Tribal Chief all sit towards the head of the market for next Saturday's big handicap, but all three finished behind Real Gain at Goodwood. This tilt at the Cambridgeshire comes a year later than planned, but after landing a lowly draw on the high side of the track, Real Gain looks to have a good chance.

Another who could challenge at a bigger price is GREAT CHIEFTAIN (25/1). Oliver Cole's four-year-old was in excellent form during the spring, winning well in an eight-furlong handicap here on the Rowley Mile, before following in the Nell Hook Handicap at Haydock.

After a summer break, Great Chieftain returned to action with a decent effort at Goodwood last month, finishing fifth behind Tribal Chief. Benoit De La Sayette has experience riding big handicap winners and Great Chieftain's record on a straight track is excellent.
