Horse Racing Tips: Best bets and ambassador insight this weekend

Gordon Elliott: The views on my Saturday runners at Naas

Having beaten the cold snap Naas are expected to race on Saturday afternoon, and Betfair Ambassador Gordon Elliott has plenty of chances on the card.

He says: "Shattered Love is in good form and has been ready to run again for the last few weeks so I'm looking forward to getting her out again and despite the distance not being ideal I'd expect a good run from her."

Saturday Racing Tips: Real Estate looks a very fair bet at Lingfield

Tony Calvin is a tipster for all seasons but he's not usually a fan of the all-weather, so our man surprised himself by finding two bets to recommend at Lingfield.

He says: "Some of her better efforts have come at this track, including a third off a 4lb higher mark under today's jockey in December 2019, and I am willing to back her with my own cash."

Joseph O'Brien: Trio of solid chances in Sunday's Grand National trial

Joseph O'Brien has eight runners over the weekend including some good chances at Punchestown on Sunday.

He says: "Smoking Gun is a horse we like and has it in him to win a race like this. He ran well for a long way in the Thyetses at Gowran Park last time, but the very testing ground probably caught him out in the end. This longer trip should be ok for him and hopefully he'll run a good race."

Sunday, 16:30 - Smoking Gun

Lingfield Racing Tips: Timeform's three best bets for Saturday

Timeform's focus on Saturday is also the all-weather at Lingfield and they highlight the three best bets of the afternoon.

They say: "He made his first appearance after a 23-month absence at Kempton in November and seemed rusty, never landing a blow from a poor position, but he shaped much better on his handicap debut at Southwell last month, leading early in the straight before being headed on the line. He remains unexposed, this being just his fourth run, and it is feasible to think he can do better if stringing a sequence of runs together."
