Saturday is an action-packed day with jumping from Hexham and Uttoxeter and Flat racing from Chester and Bath, all live on Sky Sports Racing.

3.20 Chester – Witness Stand and Brunel Nation contest in feature

Witness Stand and Brunel Nation headline the strong renewal of the Horseradish Catering & Events Roodee Handicap (3.20).

Tom Clover’s Witness Stand heads the weights and the market under Hollie Doyle. He was running consistently this season including a second over course and distance last time out. He arrives here off the same mark and could be dangerous.

The Richard Hughes-trained Brunel Nation improved this season to win two on the bounce in handicaps this spring. He is a huge danger as he steps up in trip under Finley Marsh.

Monfrid arrives here very lightly raced with two seconds and a win under his belt. On his second handicap start he could bounce back from a difficult race at Goodwood.

2.20 Bath – In-form duo clash Kodibeat and Violet Love clash

In-form duo Kodibeat and Violet Love clash in the Sporting Family Change Fillies’ Novice Stakes (2.20).

George Boughey’s Violet Love arrives her in lovely form as she got off the mark on the third attempt. The filly comfortably landed a Chepstow maiden last week and should have a big claim under a penalty.

Kodibeat showed a great attitude to score on debut at Kempton. However, she struggled to land a blow when caught wide at Chester on her last start. She could bounce back here but any rain would be a positive.

Charlie Johnston’s Blue Point Empress looks to get off the mark in this contest. She showed lots of ability on debut in a hot novice stakes at Ripon, this experience could be vital.

6.00 Hexham – Shengai Enki and If You Let Me headline

Shengai Enki and If You Let Me headline in the Clarke Mairs Novices’ Hurdle (6.00).

Shengai Enki shoulders a double penalty, having improved to win at Uttoxeter before another cosy success at Worcester. He looks the type to continue his progress with champion jockey Harry Cobden onboard.

Irish trainer Gavin Cromwell thrives when targeting races in the UK. His raider If You Let Me could take plenty of beating under Keith Donoghue. He was a winner on debut over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month, the form has been franked and he appears the one to beat.

Today on Sky Sports Racing: Chester & Newton Abbot the Friday features as Rebaatt takes on Amancio | Racing News


Rip-roaring action on the Roodee at Chester mixes with summer jumping from Newton Abbot on a fantastic Friday on Sky Sports Racing.

3:25 Chester – Rebaatt can get off the mark for Haggas

Only subsequent winner Whathappensinvegas proved too good for Rebaatt last time at Newmarket and William Haggas’ gelding looks well poised to strike from stall four in the Pure Homes Handicap (3.25).

Jack Channon’s Amancio has been in top form this year, winning once and filling the places three times in six starts.

Son of Frankel Hutchence was well supported on two starts last year and returned with a fair effort at Windsor for Ralph Beckett, with Rob Hornby coming in to ride for the first time.

James Ferguson’s Tatateo is the only last-time winner in the field after seeing off just three rivals at Lingfield in May.

5.10 Chester – Native King looks dangerous on handicap debut

Mulrennan and Palmer could be the ones to watch in the concluding London Essence Handicap (5.10) with handicap debutant Native King.

Native King has his first run on turf following his three starts on the all-weather and trainer Hugo Palmer won this race last year.

Haggas’ Treasure Time was disappointing when last seen at Newcastle but warrants respect for a top yard.

Juantorena bids to get back to winning ways following a struggle at York. He should thrive back amongst a smaller field to repeat on his penultimate start.

6.10 Newton Abbot – Matterhorn meets War Lord in feature

Paul Nicholls’ Matterhorn looks like an exciting chaser

Paul Nicholls’ exciting young chaser Matterhorn will seek to make it two from two over fences in the Follow @attheracesontwitter Handicap Chase (6.10).

The six-year-old came with much promise from France and has always shaped as though he would improve for the larger obstacles and got the job done against his sole rival Gower Prince at Ludlow last time.

Joe Tizzard pair War Lord and Kauto The King could provide the main danger, with the former looking to get back to winning ways after dropping from a career-high mark of 149 to his current level at 128.
