Our acca for Saturday's ITV racing focuses on three of the big races, including a selection in the feature at the Curragh. Back this 3-leg ITV accumulator for Saturday:
The ITV coverage gets underway at Haydock on Saturday. A competitive handicap over an extended mile kicks off the action, and a clear case can be made for Candomore.
The four-year-old for trainer Tim Easterby is a course and distance winner and arrives here after winning two-from-two this season.
Was a winner at Leicester earlier this month, and the 4lb rise is counteracted with 3lb claimer Amie Waugh taking the ride.
A tricky 17-runner handicap over seven furlongs kicks off the action at Goodwood on Saturday. Cyclonite could be an interesting each-way player for the in-form James Ferguson team.
The three-year-old is yet to win on the turf, but showed plenty when held by Hammer The Hammer last time out at Chester. Up in trip today, and that could unlock further progression.
Dixieland Blues could have a lot of upside on his first start on the turf. He must be highly regarded by connections to make his debut on the turf in this Class Two, and he finally got off the mark at the third attempt over a mile at Southwell at the end of last month.
He already has experience in big fields, and the Simon & Ed Crisford-trained runner could yet be open to more improvement.
The first of two ITV races from Beverley comes at 14:10. Karl Burke’s two-year-old’s have been excelling so far this season, and there is plenty to like about Ali Shuffle’s chances.
She has won on all three starts under rules, and has already won a notable 12-runner race over course and distance, beating returning rival Argentine Tango in the process.
Stepped up on that form last time out when landing a success at Chester over five furlongs. Ticks plenty of boxes.
Running Lion could be hard to beat in the 14:25 at Haydock on Saturday. The John & Thady Gosden-trained runner has a recent run under her belt after finishing fifth in the Group Two Dahlia Stakes earlier this month.
She has won twice from 12 starts on the turf, and is ground versatile. Drops in class with a clear ratings advantage this weekend for a trainer in red-hot form.
Andrew Balding has been among the winners recently, and he could gain further success in the 14:45 at Beverley on Saturday.
Old Is Gold wasn’t far behind the promising Military Code on his racecourse debut earlier this month, and should come on a lot for that effort.
Holds the advantage based on RPRs, and looks to be a winner in waiting at this level.
Big Mojo and Arizona Blaze collided Stateside at the end of last season, but the former could be the main selection on Saturday.
The three-year-old was excellent on his first start after wind surgery on seasonal return last month when beating Diablo Red by just under a length in Group Three company.
Is a multiple-time winner in Group company, and has a positive draw this weekend.
A chance could be taken on Queen Of Thieves to bounce back in the listed Height of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood. The John & Thady Gosden runner was well below her best at Chester last time out, but it appeared as though the track just didn’t suit.
Was previously an eleven-length winner at York over an extended mile and three, and this drop back in trip shouldn’t present many issues after running a creditable race when third behind the recent Musidora runner-up Serenity Prayer at Newbury.
American Affair was an excellent winner in a Class Two handicap at York last week, and won with a fair bit in hand. The five-year-old steps up in grade this weekend, but has shown plenty to suggest that he could excel at this level this season.
Trainer Jim Goldie is in excellent form, striking at 24%, and everything points to a bold showing on his first start in this company.
The big race of the day comes in the form of the Group One Irish 2000 Guineas. Field Of Gold is a red-hot favourite with Collin Keane taking over in the saddle. However, there could be value in siding with the progressive Cosmic Year.
The Harry Charlton runner will have Oisin Murphy aboard at the Curragh, and he couldn’t have been more impressive on his latest start when beating Marvelman in the King Charles II Stakes at Newmarket. Up in trip today, and has untapped potential as a miler.
