Saturday betting tips include 14-1 each-way pick in Newbury's big race

EACH-WAY fancy IRISH FIGHTER (3.30) can knuckle down in the 20-runner Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury this afternoon.

High-drawn horses have dominated the two-year-old unusual juvenile contest where horses are allotted weights based on their sales price.

The 100-rated Havana Hurricane, a 9,000 guineas purchase, carries just 8st 13lb and his chance is obvious atop the market.

But he is a hostage to fortune with his Windsor Castle Stakes running style and previous Eve Johnson Houghton-trained aces have not been able to gain the upper hand.

He is also set to break from stall nine, while Irish Fighter, a professional juvenile with a Windsor maiden to his name, has bagged number 20.

Taken on early by several headstrong rivals there, the son of Profitable from an unraced Juddmonte mare showed he was tactically versatile with a tidy victory.

And Irish Fighter could better a mark of 88 given the ability he has shown so far for a trainer who would not have too many similar juveniles for him to work with.

REGIONAL (2.57) is tipped to gain a reward for his consistency in the Group Three Hallgarten And Novum Wines Hackwood Stakes.

Ed Bethell's sprinter is holding his form as a seven-year-old, with places in top flight events the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan and Royal Ascot's King Charles III Stakes.

If on a going day, MEYDAAN (1.50) should play a part in the BetVictor Steventon Stakes, after he earned a significant rating upgrade by seriously challenging Liberty Lane on his penultimate start at this level.

Sent to Berkshire by Simon and Ed Crisford, the four-year-old was fourth in the 2024 Queen's Vase on fast ground, a surface that is a question mark for gelded Ancient Wisdom and Okeechobee, unbeaten on a good and good to soft.

CONTACTO (2.25) has some interesting efforts to his name going into the Back The Super Boost At BetVictor Handicap, where he meets mostly older thoroughbreds with little in hand of number crunchers.

At Market Rasen, SURE TOUCH (3.12) is on-course to retain the Unibet Summer Plate from just a 1lb higher mark, with DEPLOY TO SPY (2.05) another top chance for power players Sean Bowen and Olly Murphy.

Unluckily brought down when fancied to run well at Aintree's Grand National meeting in April, improver MOON CHIME (2.40) finally has his chance in a field of double figures.

In Ireland, Epsom heroine MINNIE HAUK (3.40) is hard to oppose as she pursues a Classic double in the Juddmonte Irish Oaks.
