Saturday horse racing tips: Harry Allwood's best bets

General odds: 5-1.

I pinpointed as a earlier this week when he was a general 7-1 chance, and although his price has contracted since then, I still think he's the one to be on here.

The reasoning remains the same, and it's hard not to see him going close granted luck in running. 

Make Me King, who is drawn two stalls away from Carrytheone, has made the running in the past, so although the majority of the pace looks set to come from those drawn higher, Carrytheone's draw in stall six isn't too much of a negative. 

The fast ground will be no issue, and Pat Dobbs guided the selection to victory at Newmarket two starts ago, so is a positive jockey booking, despite the fact Ryan Moore was initially booked earlier in the week.

General odds: 4-1.

was another contender highlighted in our earlier this week and everything appears in place for a big run from Godolphin's high-class globetrotter. 

Stall three looks a positive and Hans Andersen should help set a decent pace, which will suit the selection who I expect to race prominently in behind the leader. 

Good to firm ground is another plus, and connections have sounded upbeat when discussing his chances this week.

General odds: 2-1.

This four-year-old was all the rage in the betting before he was withdrawn at York recently and it's no surprise to see him popular with punters for this similar contest on Saturday.

You could only be impressed with Elnajmm's victory at Newcastle on the all-weather last time out, and if he's able to replicate that effort switching back to turf, then he could prove hard to beat, despite a 10lb higher mark.

He was a dominant winner there on his first start for 317 days, and had the race won two furlongs from home plus was merely pushed out inside the final furlong, and won with plenty to spare. 

There were some decent handicappers left trailing there, too, and on that evidence, you would have to think Elnajmm is a Group horse in the making.

His form as a juvenile also ties in with the likes of English Oak, Balance Play and Alsakib, who are all rated over 100 now, and numerous other horses from the races he contested last year have developed into decent handicappers. 

Stall ten should be no issue for this prominent racer who won on good to firm ground last year, and with just five starts under his belt, there should be lots more to come.

William Haggas has been operating at a strike-rate of 12 per cent in the past fortnight, but the majority of his team have been running well, so that stat isn't a huge concern.

General odds: 9-2.

has been unfortunate not to finish closer on a couple of starts since switching to turf due to trouble in running and, similar to Carrytheone, if he gets the gaps here, he ought to go very close to winning. 

Archie Watson's sprinter was last seen flying home to finish a never-nearer second over this course and distance where he had to weave his way through rivals, and would have won in a few more strides based upon how powerfully he finished once in the clear.

He's on a pound higher mark now, but remains on a rating he is more than capable of scoring off given he finished a close fourth in last year's Ayr Gold Cup off a pound higher. 

The selection also improved on the all-weather during the winter, and is rated 107 on that surface now, so if he can translate that progress over to turf, then he could be nicely treated indeed. 

Hollie Doyle gets on well with him and stall nine looks a positive, so with plenty in his favour, including the ground, he's the one to side with.
