Dave Nevison: My horse racing tips for Saturday

This is possibly the thinnest Saturday afternoon in recent memory with low-grade cards to get to grips with.

However, I am not feeling the pressure as much as I might have been after Politics won easily on Thursday. I couldn’t have laid it on any thicker how much of a good thing I felt he was and I hope a few of you took the 7-4 that was available with all firms for a while. I will not be too fearful about going in again on the same horse on Sunday afternoon at Wolverhampton, and I am guessing at even shorter odds.

Hopefully these three might go well before that on Saturday afternoon.

1.15 Lingfield: Amor De Mi Vida

She had come down the weights recently and had a fitness edge, but it still must have been quite a performance earlier this month to be beat Politics, who bolted up as my nap of the week at Southwell on Thursday.

I doubt whether Amor De Mi Vida will beat that horse again in the near future as he looks to be going places, but she looks well up to following up here despite having moved back up 4lb in the weights.

Archie Watson’s four-year-old filly won over six furlongs as a juvenile but seems much better suited by the minimum trip nowadays and she should be able to hold a prominent position from stall 3 here. The cheekpieces that were on last time are persevered with here.

2.25 Lingfield: Ship To Shore

He might be worth a small bet to get into the frame at least in a race full of modest and largely disappointing types.

Ship to Shore reappeared on the track in October and definitely looked rusty after 11 months off, missing the break and plugging on one-paced late on. He ran his best race next time (under this jockey) when taking second and might have been second had he not been snatched up close home. He was less than a length behind a next-time out winner on that penultimate run, too.

Things looked positive after that Southwell effort but his tendency to fluff the start came back last time and he needs to tidy that up to progress. He has a good pilot in Frederick Larson who knows him well now and Ship To Shore looks worth chancing at a big price in the event things can fall right for him finally.

2.40 Chelmsford: Lord Paramount

He is a half-brother to a Group One and Breeders' Cup runner-up, so it might be regarded as disappointing that Lord Paramount is still rated just 70 as he is about to turn four.

Things have clearly not been straightforward, but he broke his maiden last time in pretty decent style when just being kept up to his work and he now looks ready to go into handicaps - especially off this lowly mark.

Lord Paramount looks set to benefit from a strong pace here and could well run up a short sequence around the turn of the year.
