ITV Racing Tips for Today - Saturday 22nd November

ITV Racing are live for a bumper Saturday of racing coming from three courses. The Betfair Chase takes centre stage at Haydock, while Ascot host a brace of Grade 2 Contests and the cameras skip over the Irish Sea to Punchestown for the Grade One Morgiana Hurdle. We've gone through all nine live races on the afternoon and picked out our tips and selections for the day.

Andahsan 9/2

Gaining some early market support and arrives here race fit after a good outing at Newbury earlier in the month when shaping like a step up in trip will suit. Looks well treated off a mark of 125 and Freddie Gordon claims a valuable 3lbs in the saddle.

Pic D’orhy 3/1

This is Pic D’orhy’s bread and butter and he simply loves this venue at this trip. Won this race last year and followed up in the Ascot Chase back in February. Made a pleasing return to action behind Djelo at Wetherby and holds fitness over his main two rivals. Looks overpriced on what he’s made his home turf.

The Jukebox Man 8/11

Has been off for a long time after suffering a season ending injury last winter but was improving at a rapid rate over fences and was last seen winning the Grade One Kauto Star novices chase. Sets a strong standard at the top of the market if fit for his return to racing. Will be hard to bet if retaining his ability.

Lossiemouth 2/5

It’s impossible not to fancy Lossiemouth for her comeback run here. A seven times grade one winner she looks to be the Mullins super sub for the Champion Hurdle this season with State Man injured. Is no price to get off the mark here but will be the key to plenty of multiples for Saturday’s racing.

Joyeux Machin 12/1

Seems a shade overpriced in the market and was running well in handicap hurdles towards the end of last season despite not winning. Might have finished closer at Chepstow in a good race last time out if he hadn’t been hampered by a faller. Will be ready to roll second time up for the season and a mark of 137 looks workable. Harry Atkins claims 7lbs in the saddle.

Woodhooh 1/1

An absolute brilliant mare for Gordon Elliott, Woodhooh strung up a sequence of 7 races in a row over hurdles including the Martin Pipe handicap at the Cheltenham Festival. Only tasted defeat upped to Grade One company against Lossiemouth in the Aintree Hurdle. Makes her seasonal comeback getting weight from the geldings and should regain the winning thread.

Handstands 7/1

It’s a small but decent field for the Betfair Chase and although Grey Dawning looks solid at the top of the market he hasn’t won a grade one chase over 3 miles yet. It might be safer to play Handstands E/W at the prices with the 6 year old improving as a chaser. A grade one winner last season, he was just collared late by Resplendent Grey on comeback at Carlisle. Will strip fitter for that run and will relish this stamina test.

Kotmask 15/2

There’s some big hitters in this race this year but it would be amiss to rule out last season’s 2nd Kotmask, only just being held off by Martator 12 months ago. Won back at this venue last December before another 2nd here back in March. Still handicapped to have a say off 131 and will come on for the recent comeback run at Fontwell. Should be right there come the finish at a track that plays to his strengths.

Saladins Son 13/2

Signed off last season with a brace of chase wins in easy fashion before being put away for the summer. Won on 3 of his 4 runs last campaign and was looking a progressive sort over fences. Still unexposed and has won fresh before. Can get in the mix if fully tuned up.
