Saturday Tips From Ross Millar: "He's Better Than His Rating"
Saturday tips from Ross Millar: "He's better than his rating"

Top tipster Ross Millar makes a case for a couple of contenders at Carlisle on Saturday, plus also has a fancy at Stratford in the evening. You can watch every race from both meetings live on Racing TV.

1.30 Carlisle: Opportunity
Finished third off a mark of 91 on his handicap debut at Ascot, and that performance is probably worthy of an upgrade as he was ridden patiently, whereas those who finished in front of him raced closer to the pace.
William Haggas tends to train his horses to improve through the season, so with the benefit of that run, he should be capable of winning this off just a pound higher mark.
3.45 Carlisle: Crest Of Fire
Caught my eye on his debut when behind future Chesham winner Humidity at Newbury. That race did produce plenty of winners, but Crest Of Fire proved expensive to follow, although he bumped into useful rivals on more than one occasion.
He belatedly shed his maiden tag at the start of this year when winning a weak maiden at long odds-on, and looked at home over this trip, as he had done on his handicap debut last year when, off level weights, he only found the now 94-rated McMurray too good at Doncaster.
He's better than his rating of 86, and can show that here.

7.20 Stratford: Imperial Alex
Arrives here in good form off the back of a good effort when runner-up over three miles at Ffos Las.
The extra few furlongs will suit, and negates the few pounds he rises in the handicap. This looks a weak contest, too, and it will be disappointing if he can't capitalise.
