‘He won a Group 3 around this time last year’ – Saturday horses for courses treble

Course form can be absolutely crucial when looking for a winner. If you know your way around a place, you are going to have an advantage over somebody who has never been there before. The same applies to horses – knowing your way around a venue is always a big advantage. Adrian Wall has picked out three former course winners running on ITV on Saturday and they form a treble.

We landed a tasty 67/1 treble at Ascot a while back and this week’s treble returns great odds at the time of posting. Best of luck if you have a play.


1.15 Ayr

Northern Express is a course winner who was a big eyecatcher when fifth of 17 in a York handicap last month without his usual headgear. The cheekpieces are back on and it could be a great day for this stable and owner.


1.50 Ayr

Certain Lad is a C&D winner who at his best when the ground is soft or heavy and the conditions are coming back in his favour now after a few spins on quicker ground. He won a Group 3 at Longchamp around this time last year and could be up to the job.


3.15 Newbury

Into The Sky posted quite a remarkable performance on debut when bolting up by more than seven lengths over C&D at odds of 80/1. If that wasn’t a flash in the pan, he ought to be winning this.
