Saturday ITV Racing tips: Newsboy's selections for Haydock, Beverley and Chester cards

KINROSS is a worthy favourite to repeat his victory of 2021 in the Group 3 Betfred John Of Gaunt Stakes (3.30) at Haydock Park.

Ralph Beckett’s son of Kingman made his European return in this race 12 months ago and marked his first start as a gelding with a length-and-a-half-beating of Njord. Kinross then stepped up to Group 2 company for the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and went in again with a neck margin over Godolphin’s Creative Force.

My selection then tackled the highest level on his final three attempts of last season, suffering defeats on each occasion. That makes coming back down the class ladder the right move, and Kinross escapes a penalty for his victories of last summer.

James Doyle’s mount has proved himself a seven-furlong specialist – all three career successes have been at the trip – and rain-softened terrain is also ideal for Kinross, who can live up to his status as the best horse in the race in British Horseracing Authority ratings with another win.

FORZA ORTA is taken to make the most of the weight he receives from his 12 rivals in the Betfred Double Delight Handicap (2.20).

After a promising return-to-action third at Thirsk last month, the Kevin Ryan-saddled son of Fastnet Rock went two places better with a three-quarter-length margin from Tribal Art in Hamilton Park’s Buttonhook Handicap next time. Forza Orta then reappeared at York’s Dante fixture 10 days later, finishing a one-length second to Gaassee.

That ranks a fair effort – the William Haggas-trained winner, who was completing a four-timer, looks destined for Group company – and a 3lb rise in the weights should not stop David Egan’s mount from giving another good account.
