Horse In Focus tips for Saturday: Eye-catchers chosen by Timeform experts


Find out which runners on Saturday caught the eye of Timeform's reporters last time and were awarded the Horse In Focus Flag.

What is a Horse In Focus?

Every performance in Britain and Ireland is closely scrutinised by the expert race readers at Timeform whose tasks include identifying horses that shaped better than the result. Some of these eye-catchers will be awarded the Horse In Focus Flag.

A Horse In Focus comes in many forms, from a promising maiden winner to a veteran handicapper, but the common denominator is the same: the way the horse shaped suggests it’s likely to be something to back next time.

All of the day's Horses In Focus can be found within this article, which also includes a best bet selected by a member of the Timeform Sporting Life team.

The Timeform Flags also appear on the Racecards + section, available for Sporting Life Plus members, on Sporting Life racecards.

Advertised16
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR:  94| D
4/1

Advertised was a dual winner for Grant Tuer at Newcastle at two and signed off last year with a close fourth in a valuable event at York won by Astrazar.

He then made a very pleasing return to action in a handicap over this course and distance at the Craven meeting, showing improved form and putting up a useful effort in going down by half a length to Sovereign Spell with the pair pulling clear.

Advertised now meets that rival on 2 lb better terms, so can turn the tables with the likelihood of further improvement to come.
