ITV7 Guide from Market Rasen, Newbury and Newmarket


There's £50,000 on offer in this weekend's free-to-play ITV7 and Dave Smith has the guide you need for the crucial races.

13:50 Newbury - bet365 Stakes (Listed) (Registered As The Steventon Stakes) (Class 1)

A slight drop in class can benefit three-year-old FOX CHAIRMAN who should be a warm order. He ran a nice race when second in the Hampton Court but will face good competition from Pondus who is another dropping in grade.

14:10 Market Rasen - Betway Summer Handicap Hurdle (Listed) (Class 1)

Dan Skelton's LONGHOUSE SALE could extend the unbeaten start he's made to his career here as he gets in without too much scrutiny from the handicapper. The winner of his first six races, he's done it by an aggregate of 55.25 lengths so is rightly at the head of the market.

14:25 Newbury - Marsh Cup Handicap (Class 2)

A competitive heat to assess but LUCKY DEAL could just be more suited by this sort of opposition. He may well have just been outclassed in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot last time out and his 5lb rise for a win at Haydock on his penultimate start may be more manageable in this contest.

14:40 Newmarket - Ric And Mary Hambro Aphrodite Fillies' Stakes (Listed) (Class 1)

On official ratings SPARKLE ROLL should have plenty in hand on the other three-year-olds in this race with the form of her third place in the Ribblesdale making her a leading player. She's nicely bred for this sort of trip.

15:00 Newbury - bet365 Hackwood Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1)

Classy performer DONJUAN TRIUMPHANT can act on a sound surface but the forecast rain in Berkshire can only be seen as a huge plus to Andrew Balding's charge. His record with cut in the ground is impressive and he can get the better of The Tin Man.

15:20 Market Rasen - Betway Summer Plate Handicap Chase (Listed) (Class 1)

Sam Twiston-Davies has won this race twice in the last 10 years and he rides TRIGGER NICHOL for Dr Richard Newland off a feather weight at the bottom of the handicap. He can be inconsistent but won well at Leicester three starts ago and showed his well being at Ffos Las last time out.

15:40 Newbury - Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes (Class 2)

It has been eight years since a horse drawn in single figures won the Weatherbys Super Sprint. That could put pressure on Ventura Rebel from stall seven and Never in Paris could be a huge danger. However, the high side of the draw could be the one to play with and BETTY'S HOPE gets a vote at a large price.
