ITV Racing Tips - Sunday 7th May


Race 1 - Howden Handicap Tips


Cemhaan won the inaugural running of this handicap 12 months ago. George Baker's six-year-old has 18 rivals to worry about today, compared to just eight last year, and the defending champion is nine pounds higher in the handicap.

I'd give an each-way chance to FIRST EMPEROR (20/1), who's been very busy on the all-weather since joining John Ryan in January. Having failed to win for Donnacha O'Brien, First Emperor won twice in his first three starts for Ryan and has since placed five times in two miles events. This slight drop in trip won't be an issue and Adam Farragher's mount has a fitness edge over his rivals.

Race 2 - Buttonhook Handicap Tips


Several in here hold appeal, but the one I like most is ZIMMERMAN (8/1), who clocked a career-best RPR on his reappearance at Thirsk. 

Tim Easterby's charge bumped into a highly-progressive rival that day, but stayed on gamely to finish a good second behind Chillingham. David Allen's mount won twice over 1m6f last season, so stepping back up in trip is clearly going to suit and the handicapper has only upped Zimmerman's mark by a pound for that excellent effort.

Race 3 - Pretty Polly Stakes Tips


William Buick and Charlie Appleby won this race with Win The Moonlight last season. On Sunday, flat racing's power couple will team up with QUEEN OF FAIRIES (10/3), who looked very professional when winning on debut at Southwell in December.

Having been held up at the rear, Queen Of Fairies swept into contention around the outside of the pack and quickly put that race to bed with an impressive turn of foot. Appleby's filly is by a top sire in Cracksman and out of a Dubawi mare who won a Group Three in Ireland during her short career. Queen Of Fairies could be the most progressive filly in this contest.

Race 4 - City Bowl Handicap Tips


Lightly-raced Ulysses gelding, WANDERING ROCKS (5/1) impressed during the middle months of his three-year-old campaign, winning at Doncaster before two excellent placed efforts at Kempton and Newbury. 

James Fanshawe's charge attempted to make the running on his reappearance over 11 furlongs at Doncaster and shaped well for the majority of that contest before being outpaced late on. This step up in distance should definitely suit Wandering Rocks, who remains open to further improvement during 2023.

Race 5 - Dahlia Stakes Tips

Life In Motion travels over from France to contest this excellent Group Two and Andre Fabre's raider tops the betting alongside With The Moonlight. Prosperous Voyage brings Group One-winning form to the table, while the likes of Al Husn, Astral Beau and Shaara cannot be ruled out.

VIA SISTINA (15/2) was only seen three times last season, but made a lovely impression on her final two outings. George Boughey's mare flew home from the rear to finish a neck-second to Creative Flair over this course-and-distance in the Pride Stakes and went on to land a Group Three prize at Toulouse in November.

Jamie Spencer's mount won on the Rowley Mile for Joe Tuite during her three-year-old campaign and took her game to a new level after linking up with Boughey last season. She'll be my selection in what promises to be an excellent race.
