Saturday's ITV tips:

13:40 (Newmarket) Snow Light

14:00 (York) Remmooz

14:12 (Newmarket) Miss Nightfall

14:22 (Ascot) My Cloud

14:35 (York) Washington Heights

14:50 (Newmarket) More Thunder

15:45 (York) Al Qareem

16:00 (Newmarket) Italy

13:40 (Newmarket) Snow Light

Trainer Charlie Appleby won the Rossdales British Ebf Maiden Fillies' Stakes twelve months ago with a subsequent G1 1000 Guineas winner and his well-bred newcomer Snow Light can ensure he does so once more.

Orion's Belt is trained by Richard Hannon. Shaped nicely when fourth on debut at Salisbury. Respect now up to 7f under Ryan Moore.

Stablemate to the main selection Dancing Flower also makes for plenty of appeal on paper and cannot be ignored.

Well-bred Frankel filly Darkwing warrants consideration racing for top connections.

 

14:00 (York) Remmooz

Remmooz missed a hat-trick when fourth in the G3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot three weeks back.

Secured two victories at Doncaster prior. Down in class and makes handicap debut, so could be a major player in the John Smith's Racing Handicap.

Old Cock produced a nice 0.5L win over course and distance in the Hambleton Handicap. Interesting following a fifty eight day break.

Blue For You is a three-time track and trip winner. Finished fifth tackling 7f here four weeks back. Will be thereabouts.

Sisyphean placed 0.5L second behind the second pick in the aforementioned Hambleton Handicap. Was ninth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last time. Expected to challenge.

 

14:12 (Newmarket) Miss Nightfall

Miss Nightfall caught the eye when a close sixth in a fierce handicap over 1m at Royal Ascot last time.

The James Fanshawe-trained filly looks to be progressing with racing and can rediscover winning ways dropping to 7f off a 1lb higher mark in the Trustatrader 20th Anniversary Fillies' Handicap.

Revisiting 7f won't pose issues for Miss Information who commands respect following her ready success among handicap company at Royal Ascot (1m) last month.

Royal Velvet could go well up 1lb on the back of a decent third over course and distance, while Bountiful might feature racing for a yard in good form.

 

14:22 (Ascot) My Cloud

My Cloud was successful over 1m here last start scoring by 0.8L to make it four consecutive wins, and could maintain strong form in the Summer Mile Stakes.

Haatem landed the 1m2f Listed Wolferton Stakes here by 0.8L and boasts two victories from three course runs.

Quddwah was well held in tenth over 1m at this venue and might atone, while Never So Brave cannot be discounted in view of a 2.25L win contesting a 7f track event.

 

14:35 (York) Washington Heights

Washington Heights ran 1L third attempting the G2 Temple Stakes at Haydock Park before a seventh in the G1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. Markedly down in grade for the John Smith's City Walls Stakes.

Jm Jungle placed 0.75L second over course and distance on the back of a success in the Epsom “Dash” Heritage Handicap. Can return to winning ways.

Grand Grey disappointed when eleventh in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. Lowered in standard for this assignment and will be thereabouts.

Star Of Mehmas is racing consistently with three wins and three placings including a third in the Listed Scurry Stakes at Sandown last time. Expected to challenge.

 

14:50 (Newmarket) More Thunder

This looks to revolve around the improving William Haggas-trained More Thunder who was unlucky to lose when narrowly denied a warm Royal Ascot handicap over 6f.

Could prove tough to beat in the Bunbury Cup now stretching out a further 1f off the same rating.

Ten Pounds produced a big effort finishing third that day and holds obvious form claims racing off the same mark.

Akkadian Thunder is due to go up 4lb for his excellent second tackling this trip at Royal Ascot last month.

 

15:10 (York) Archivist

Archivist is racing consistently with four runner-up efforts and two victories including scoring over 1m at this course two weeks back.

Steps up in journey carrying a penalty and can overcome that bidding for a hat-trick in the John Smith's Cup Handicap.

See That Storm also maintains high-class form after winning on four occasions at Pontefract and Redcar before placing second twice at Redcar including by 1.75L tackling track and trip. Might go one better.

Thunder Run won by a head a handicap attempting the journey here during May. Interesting following a fifty seven day break.

Fox Legacy won the Suffolk Stakes (Heritage Handicap) at Newmarket (Rowley) prior to finishing sixth in the Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) at Royal Ascot. Might rediscover winning ways.

 

15:25 (Newmarket) Bedouin Prince

Charlie Appleby won the Bet365 Mile Handicap last season and the progressive Bedouin Prince looks the pick here.

He readily defied a penalty in a novice event tackling this trip on the Newmarket Rowley Mile course and the opening mark might not be enough to stop him on handicap debut.

Fifth Column did well to finish seventh in a competitive 1m handicap at Royal Ascot last time. Included off an unchanged rating.

Raafedd didn't receive the best of runs when downfield behind the just mentioned. Did create a nice impression prior and retains plenty of potential.

 

15:45 (York) Al Qareem

Al Qareem is racing consistently this season with two wins and two placed efforts in four starts.

That included scoring impressively in the Listed Grand Cup Stakes over course and distance four weeks back and he'll be a leading contender in the John Smith's Silver Cup Stakes.

Tabletalk steps down in standard after finishing sixth in the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. Placed attempting two G3 contests at Newbury prior.

Subsequent makes seasonal reappearance. Last seen winning the Listed Noel Murless Stakes at Ascot last October. Could be thereabouts.

Samui ran second in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot on latest outing. Lowered markedly in journey. Consider.

 

16:00 (Newmarket) Italy

Favorites have won the past two renewals of the Group 2 Superlative Stakes.

Italy could be strong in the market having quickened in the manner of a very smart performer making a winning debut tackling this trip at Leopardstown. There could be more to come.

A chief danger may come from the Charlie Appleby-trained Saba Desert who picked up well to score first time out at Sandown.

Stablemate Wild Desert needs to be considered after following a debut success with a decent second over course and distance three weeks ago.

Venetian Lace might find the frame.

 

16:10 (Ascot) Mount Atlas

Mount Atlas ran 5.5L fifth over course and distance last time. Set to bounce back as could improve representing Andrew Balding's yard.

Night Breeze progressed to finish 5.5L third tackling 1m3 1f at Haydock Park most recently.

Crystal Flyer struggled among G3 company at York. Drops in standard and might be prominent. Finished 13L seventh tackling 1m6f on that occasion.

 

16:35 (Newmarket) Inisherin

The July Cup is a wide open G1.

Inisherin is trained by Kevin Ryan and produced a high class performance to win the G1 Commonwealth Cup attempting this journey at Royal Ascot last season. Can return to best in first-time cheekpieces.

Notable Speech raced exclusively over 1m to date. Interesting dropping to 6f on the back of a somewhat unlucky fourth in the G1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Flora Of Bermuda was an excellent third tackling the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Respect.

Whistlejacket also needs to be included after struggling for a clear passage when sixth in the G1 Commonwealth Cup.

Symbol Of Honour is improving and cannot be ruled out.
