ITV Racing Tips Today

Alan Kelly's tips and Charlie McCann's tips include ITV Racing tips for Saturday's action - check them out below.

1:30pm Wincanton - Kelce

Top weight Transmission may welcome this drop in grade, but preference is for his stablemate KELCE, the mount of Conor O'Farrell.

The nine-year-old's only below-par run over fences came on unsuitable heavy ground at Cheltenham.

With conditions now ideal, he looks well placed to land this Challenger Staying Chase Series Qualifier.

Recommendation: Kelce - 9/2 with bet365


1:50pm Sandown - Triple Trade

Dan Skelton's Jet Plane made light work of lesser company at Leicester but now looks poorly treated off a 7lb higher mark, especially given Evan Williams' Can You Call enjoys an 11lb pull for a narrow defeat over this course and distance.

With the Williams yard slightly quieter, the vote goes to Joe Tizzard's TRIPLE TRADE, who has run well on both starts this season at Cheltenham and looks well placed to land this Veterans' Chase Qualifier off a mark of 128.

Recommendation: Triple Trade - 4/1 with bet365


2:05pm Wincanton - Premier

With the Warren Greatrex yard in good form, the progressive four-year-old PREMIER can follow up last month's narrow Taunton success on just his fifth start over hurdles.

A former Flat winner who bounced back from a solid handicap debut, he remains open to improvement with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over in the saddle.

Recommendation: Premier - 5/1 with Coral


2:25pm Sandown - Jubilee Alpha (Alan's Nap of the Day)

This Listed Mares' Hurdle looks set to revolve around Cheltenham scorer Nurse Susan and JUBILEE ALPHA (Nap), who finished fifth in that same mares' handicap last month but now meets her rival on 12lb better terms after a mistake at the last cost her a closer finish.

Held in high regard by Paul Nicholls, the Flemensfirth mare should reverse that form and is fancied to concede 2lb to her rivals.

Recommendation: Jubilee Alpha (Nap) - 5/4 with bet365


2:40pm Wincanton - Got A Dream

Highly tried as a novice, Nicky Martin's GOT A DREAM impressed when winning his handicap debut at Chepstow in October before following up with a cosy success at Warwick the following month.

Now 13lb higher in the weights, Sean Houlihan's mount still looks ahead of the assessor and is fancied to complete the hat-trick, with Maldini Milano and Call Me Legend the main dangers.

Recommendation: Got A Dream - 11/4 with William Hill


3:05pm Sandown - Credo (Each-Way)

A strong renewal of the Stayers' Veterans' Chase Final sees nine runners contesting a £51k prize, with Anthony Honeyball saddling three, including Badger Beers Chase winner Gustavian.

However, preference is for stablemate CREDO (Each-Way), who is 10lb better off than when third to Gustavian at Wincanton and, with Harry Cobden back on board under ideal conditions, looks primed to go close.

Recommendation: Credo (Each-Way) - 13/2 with bet365 (3 places)


3:35pm Sandown - He’s A Latchico (Each-Way)

An open finale to ITV's coverage sees all eight runners holding claims, but at double-figure odds, the Gary & Josh Moore-trained HE'S A LATCHICO (Each-Way) appeals to reverse Ascot form with Dance And Glance and All In You on revised terms.

A previous Sandown winner on the Flat and runner-up over hurdles here, Tom Queally's mount should relish today's good to soft ground and looks a strong place contender at the very least.

Recommendation: He’s A Latchico (Each-Way) - 12/1 with bet365 (3 places)
