ITV Racing Tips for Today - Saturday 7th March

It's the last Saturday of ITV Racing before the Cheltenham Festival kicks off on Tuesday and the cameras are live from both Sandown and Wolverhampton for competitive looking cards over jumps and on the all weather. The Imperial Cup takes centre stage at Sandown while the Listed Wulfruna Stakes features at Wolverhampton. We've taken a look at all eight live races and picked out our selections for the afternoon.

Get On George 28/1

Has smarter form in the books than his price would suggest, breaking his maiden over hurdles at Wetherby on soft ground before defying a penalty to win again at Doncaster in December. Both his victories over hurdles have produced subsequent winners and it takes one above average to win a novice with a 7lbs penalty. Can be forgiven for not staying and handling bottomless ground at Doncaster last time out but he’s back down in trip, into handicap company and off a workable looking mark of 128 here.

Silky Wilkie 7/1

Shaped well from a wide berth at Southwell to be 4th when last seen and won over C+D on his penultimate outing. Represents the in form Karl Burke yard and looks well enough handicapped 4lbs higher than for his last win. Drawn lower in stall 5 for this will help his case on this tight turning 6 furlongs.

Go Dante 12/1

A perfect 3 from 3 at this venue and the winner of this race last year, Go Dante doesn’t put a foot wrong at Sandown and soft ground over 2miles sees him at his best. Scored over C+D in December and returns here only 2lbs higher in the weights. Too well treated not to be in the mix at his favoured course. Usual pilot Sean Bowen gets the leg up.

The Lost King 15/2

Has run well on the all weather thins winter, beating Popmaster in January over 7 furlongs before having that form reversed off revised terms at Kempton last month. Still looks well handicapped off a mark of 92.

Western Charm 11/1

Improved after a low-key bumper debut at Plumpton when running out an impressive winner at Wincanton on heavy ground last time out. Relished the slow ground and stiff stamina test and looks one that will be more equipped to handle the stiff Sandown finish.

Cool Hoof Luke 2/1

A talented juvenile who won the 2024 Gimcrack Stakes but suffered a set back and wasn’t seen for a year and half. Recently returned to racing with a promising effort in listed company in January, just running out of steam late. He’ll come on bundles for that effort and has already won on the all-weather. Can make up for lost time here.

Sound And Fury 11/2

Ben Pauling and Ben Jones have been a combination to keep on side recently and Sound And Fury lines up here off the back of a smart win at Carlisle. Going right handed with some cut in the ground seems to be his ideal, with his last two wins coming at Carlisle and a 3lbs rise in the weights for his recent win leaves him still looking feasibly well treated.
