ITV Racing's Oli Bell provides a yankee for Saturday's action live on ITV4 and his selections run at Chester, Sandown and York.
Oli Bell's Saturday Yankee
1.50 York - Mukhayyam
Mukhayyam kicks off the yankee in the Queen Mother's Cup at York for the Easterbys. Emily takes the ride so that's a positive and this horse won off a similar mark at this track last summer after finishing second in this very race. He can go one better this time around with the stable flying.
2.05 Sandown - Sound And Silence
This time last year Sound And Silence was winning at Royal Ascot and on that sort of form he's the clear form pick in this. Has to bounce back after some tepid recent efforts but the returning blinkers could help him do just that.
2.25 York - Roller
Another Easterby horse, this time Mick's, and Roller certainly caught the eye in a good handicap at the Craven Meeting when he ran sixth after running freely in the early stages. Seemingly saved for this subsequently, he can run well for a shrewd yard from the bottom of the weights.
2.40 Chester - Istanbul Sultan
William Haggas' Zoffany gelding Istanbul Sultan has run well twice at Newmarket and Wetherby this season and looks to be slowly working his way back to winning form. I think the step up in trip will see him in a good light and he rates a solid selection to finish off this weekend's multi.
