The jumps season is well underway and with a Grade 1 contest and hot handicaps to get stuck into we tackle all the live action on ITV this Saturday. 13:10 WETHERBY Palamon went close in a similar contest at Plumpton when last seen and looks set to go close once more.

Dean Kilbryde picks just the one runner he's following to round off the working week. 15:35 ASCOT Andrew Balding has won this race three times since 2020, including with a 20/1 shot last year, and runs both Galiyan and Level Look in a bid to add to his tally.

The Shergar Cup takes centre stage on ITV this Saturday with six races from Ascot for this unique team competition plus an additional three races from Newmarket and Haydock as we analyse them all. 13:35 ASCOT Fandom may still be on a fairly demanding mark, but his third of 15 over course and distance two starts ago represents solid form.

Pundit Liam Hall takes a look at Friday's racing from Ascot and Warwick as he pinpoints three horses he expects to go well to round off the working week. 16:30 WARWICK Three runner hunter chase where Great Valley, winner of his last six should make it seven in a row here.

Seven races this Saturday from Ascot and Haydock as we preview all of the live ITV action to kick start the weekend. 13:25 HAYDOCK Hurricane Pat and Old Park Star look head and shoulders above the rest and with only six runners entered there isn't even room to hunt for an each-way alternative.

Just the six races to get stuck into this Saturday as the ITV cameras head to Ascot and Haydock. We preview all the action here in our 'TV Tips'. 13:50 ASCOT General Medrano disappointed last time out but prior to that performance produced a credible fourth placed finish here in a Grade 3. It looked as if he'd appreciate a step up in trip that day and this extra couple of furlongs should suit. With the eye-catching booking of jockey Sean Bowen also a positive he's capable of

Liam Hall takes in three races from three different meetings this Friday as he hunts down some winners to end the working week. 14:50 SOUTHWELL Emilia Cassanova has an amazing pedigree, by Dubawi and out of a Grade 2 Lowther winner she should be high class but so far she has shown very little. She reared up last time causing her to blow the start and probably did well under them circumstances so it probably an each way play here if able to break with the field safely. Power O

Saturday's ITV action brings a total of nine races to your screens and we preview every single one from Haydock, Ascot, and Punchestown. 13:15 HAYDOCK If the switch to bigger obstacles and new placed at Dan Skelton's yard can bring out further improvement, then Kabral Du Mathan looks the one to beat. The Four Sixes cannot be ignored, however how much you can take out of winning a two-runner race is yet to be decided, and at a bigger price, Florida Dreams could sneak into the

Liam Hall covers races across three meetings this Friday as he hunts down selections to bash the bookies. 15:26 FAIRYHOUSE Unflinching is likely to be the punters selection being owned by Gigginstown for Gordon Elliot this son of Montmartre won an Irish point on debut and should be thereabouts but Jessbers Wish has a very attractive pedigree, by Blue Bresil out of a Grade 2 hurdles winner and Grade 1 placed, possibly didn't stay in her point debut and should be more competit

It's the closing curtain on the 2025 flat season and we've got the prestigious Champions Day from Ascot. Will all seven races shown live on ITV we cover them all right here. 12:55 ASCOT With just the five runners set to go to post it's tricky to look for an each-way alternative and it's hard to envisage anything but former course and distance victor Trawlerman finishing in front.

With nine races shown live on ITV this Saturday we preview every single one from Ascot, Newmarket and Redcar. 13:15 ASCOT It's great to see the unbeaten Love Dynasty finally return to action after nearly a year out of action but it's hard to gauge where they'll be after such a long absence.

Live ITV action from Haydock, Kempton and ascot this Saturday and the Racing Daily teams previews every race and gives their top tips. 13:35 KEMPTON Tasmania is an interesting runner, stepped back up in trip.

He’s ran with credit at Meydan and Epsom since. It would be a big shock if he won today, b

Sam King previews Friday’s action with selections from Haydock and Ascot. 14:07 HAYDOCK Legacy Link has some ground to make up on Lyrics Of Life from their Newmarket (July) meeting but there’s plenty of reason to believe she can turn the tables. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, this well-bred Frankel filly was giving away experience and missed the break when finishing behind at Lyrics Of Life. Like most from that stable, it’s likely she’ll derive great benefit from her initi

The Shergar Cup takes centre stage at Ascot this Saturday and we preview every race, plus additional live ITV action right here. 13:35 ASCOT A previous winner of this race back in 2022 Manaccan hasn't been anywhere near his best over the past year however that came in group race company so a return to handicaps is bound to aid his chances.
