Saturday horse racing tips: Betting expert Dave Nevison shares his four fancies

I wrote at Christmas that I thought Page Fuller was a jockey to note for a big Saturday handicap hurdle and that this underrated but very capable rider just needed the breaks. She’s certainly not had them up to now - she's had only one winner this year with her sole ride at single-figure odds taking a nasty fall when leading.

Diocletian may change things for Fuller here after running well in staying handicaps off marks in the mid-90s on the Flat, and the switch to hurdling looks a good move. He ran well on jumps debut at Taunton but the trip and track was too sharp for him. He didn’t settle at Newbury, but came good on his latest start at Fakenham despite the tight track.

He has room to improve from a mark of 122 and trainer Andrew Balding looks to have found a good opportunity here. This trip will suit him well and the ground not being too soft will probably help his Flat speed.

This looks full of familiar and mostly exposed sorts that the handicapper has pretty much spot on, but for me Al Dancer is the only horse trying something different by stepping up in trip and that has looked like it could improve him for a while now.

He was staying on well to be third in the Paddy Power Gold Cup in November and, if he had run better in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup, I suspect would have run in the King George over Christmas. He ran abysmally however and has not been seen since, so this is his first attempt at the trip.

He has run very few disappointing races and I expect him to go well here. He looked a future stayer in bumpers and it could be he was kept to shorter distances because he showed surprising speed. His half-brother Tzar’s Dancer was fourth in the Grade One Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris over 3m6f while he’s won over three miles, so I’m very hopeful of Al Dancer improving over this trip.

My Way has never won over fences here or in France - which I found difficult to believe when I first checked - and there is no doubt he has proved to be a disappointment, but his reappearance over hurdles in October showed he can win a race and I’m convinced Paul Nicholls will get a result out of him eventually.

I am pretty convinced My Way needs to be fresh. His hurdles win came after a break, and he would have won easily the previous season but for falling at the last. He is not off quite the same seasonal break here but seven weeks might be enough.

The flat track and trip look ideal too and Nicholls is changing the headgear to blinkers as well as the tongue strap. Harry Cobden is also back on board for the first time in a while, so there are really no stones left to turn here.

This is a competitive 0-65, but the race she was third in last time out was possibly even more so and she looks well-treated from the same mark here.

The Mike Murphy stable has had an amazing start to the year and the red-hot form shows no sign of stopping. While it is to be expected that some of them must be heading for tougher times in handicaps, Kylla Looks possibly still has further improvement.

She is drawn wide here for a horse that wants to race prominently, but it looks as though Sir Rodney Redblood will break from stall 7 to try and lead and most of the others on the inside are slow-starting hold-up types, so she should be able to get across without using too much energy. I am expecting a good run at a decent price.
