Saturday Horse Racing Tips and Insight

Newmarket, 13:22 - Timeform: Fire can Thunder home in ITV opener

This looks a hot race for the grade, but the Marco Botti-trained Fire Thunder looks the pick at the weights.

She finished runner-up on her first three starts and didn't need to improve when landing prohibitive odds at the fourth attempt at Lingfield in July in workmanlike fashion.

Fire Thunder was pitched into a deep nursery afterwards and ran respectably, but she took her form up a notch last time on her first try at seven furlongs. She went like the best horse at the weights on that occasion, but was given too much to do in a steadily-run race.

She finished fastest of all on that occasion, though, only just failing to get up on the line, and her performance can be upgraded when taking sectionals into account. Fire Thunder looks especially well treated from just 1lb higher - she's 5lb clear on Timeform weight-adjusted ratings - and this race should be run better to suit.

Haydock, 13:35 - Alan Dudman: Cerulean can keep rivals at Bay

Some tough and hardened handicappers line up for Haydock's opener over 1m and top weight Cerulean Bay has plenty on his plate, but he looks up to it.

A mark of 104 demands plenty and he has struggled in some of the top-end handicaps this season and has yet to get on the scoresheet.

However, on his effort at Goodwood in the Golden Mile, he'd have an excellent chance.

A length second to 105-rated Archivist ranks as one of his best runs, and he certainly travelled well in the race. He tracked Archivist from a mid-division position and got out late, but not fast enough.

His last two runs have been poor at York and Ascot, but York was on soft and he can get back on track in a race that doesn't look quite as tough as the ones he's been competing in.

David O'Meara landed the Ayr Gold Cup last weekend and has a decent five-year record at the track as from his 26 winners at a tick over 13%, there is a level stakes profit of +54.68.

Newmarket, 13:55 - Katie Midwinter: Keep the faith with Haffner

In the Group Two Royal Lodge Stakes, Haffner could be worth keeping the faith in for Aidan O'Brien following a disappointing showing at the Curragh. Although there were no obvious excuses to be made for his latest performance, it was his first below par effort of the season, however, and he can be forgiven for disappointing in his first Group One appearance.

The son of Justify must bounce back if he is to have a say in this field, but his previous form is worthy of note and he already has gained some valuable experience in Group races, including when winning the Acomb Stakes by two-lengths at York's Ebor Festival last month.

Following a maiden win in the July Course contest previously won by the likes of Field Of Gold and Distant Storm, Haffner was only beaten half-a-length by Dr Rascal in the Group Two Vintage Stakes at Goodwood, finishing just ahead of Al Hudaiba, who has since landed Grade One glory in Woodbine. He beat a couple of subsequent winners on the Knavesmire including Solario Stakes victor Alfred Wallace, and, with depth to some of his form, he could be competitive if back to his best.

Haydock, 14:10 - Alan Dudman: All Ways looks a Glamorous bet

I usually cannot resist a Chris Mason speedster partnered by the excellent Gina Mangan, and All Ways Glamorous at 7/18.00 with four places gives us that each-way angle for the double if Cerulean Bay wins or places in the first leg.

All Ways Glamorous scored at Ascot and Ffos Las at the height of summer, and obviously the Ascot race was a lot better than the one in Wales.

Both were on fast going, and while he appears to act on good to soft, the soft officially last time at Goodwood was a ready-made excuse. Indeed, so tough was the ground that day Timeform had it down as "heavy".

He also didn't have a totally clear run on the rail at Goodwood last time, although he was hanging and didn't exactly help himself.

Haydock might be a track to suit, as he impressed with plenty of early speed when second to King Of Light over CD last season.

It was softish that day and he went like a bullet on the stands' inside the first two furlongs and clocked a second one at 10.54, which was sharp.

With four places a "blast off and go" run will be just the ticket from stall nine.

Newmarket, 14:27 - Timeform: Sun Goddess to shine in Cheveley Park

It is a cracking renewal of the Cheveley Park Stakes featuring three of the leading two-year-old fillies in Sun Goddess, Senorita Bonita and Libertango.

There is plenty of collateral form to go on, but from a ratings standpoint, it is hard to go against Timeform's highest-rated juvenile Sun Goddess.

She was beaten by Libertango at Royal Ascot earlier this year, but she has improved in leaps and bounds since, winning all four of her starts since, notably the Phoenix Stakes against the boys and the Moyglare Stud Stakes last time, both Group 1s.

Sun Goddess looked scarily good at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago, giving a Group 1 field as heavy a drubbing as she had her rivals in a sales race the time before. The drop back to six furlongs won't be an issue and she can provide her leading yard with a third straight win in this race.

Newmarket, 15:00 - Katie Midwinter: Push The Boat Out for Middle Park success

Michael O'Callaghan-trained Push The Boat Out makes his first start in the Ace Stud colours under Shane Foley, bidding to retain his unbeaten record following two wins this season to date.

He beat Marco Polo by a length-and-a-quarter on Curragh debut last month, before doubling up 20 days later in Group Three company, narrowly denying Coventry Stakes winner Great Barrier Reef in a race which also featured Velozee, a previous third to Sun Goddess at Group One level, Livenka, a maiden winner over Star Of State who was only just beaten at Listed level recently, and Listed-winning Where Love Lives.

The Kodi Bear colt is entitled to keep on progressing in on his third start to date. He has shaped with great promise, showing he possesses plenty of talent, and could be ready for a challenge of this magnitude.

Newmarket, 15:40 - Katie Midwiner: Hand Of God fancied to score in Cambridgeshire

Harry Charlton-trained gelding Hand Of God has winning course form and performed well in his latest handicap start when narrowly denied by subsequent winner Raammee, now rated 110, in the John Smith's Cup at York.

He wasn't able to make an impression in a Group three at Deauville when last seen, but should fare better back in the handicap sphere and could have further improvement to come, still quite lightly-raced and possessing class.

The good-looking chestnut son of Churchill has four wins to his name including a victory in the Golden Gates Stakes at Royal Ascot. Things haven't been completely straightforward for him since then, but he has returned in good order this term, winning at Newbury earlier in the campaign, and could pose a threat in this competitive contest.
