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.

Saturday's Best Bet

HARBOUR HIGHWAY - 15:15 Fairyhouse

Harbour Highway improved markedly on his previous efforts over fences when justifying good support at Leopardstown last month.

Harbour Highway won by only half a length but he deserves extra credit given he conceded first run to the eventual second - the reopposing Lisleigh Lad - in a steadily-run race before staying on strongly after the final fence.

That was only Harbour Highway's second start in a handicap chase and he still has the Timeform 'small p' to show that he has more to offer over fences.
