Newsboy's ITV4 selections for Chester and Newton Abbot plus tips from Wednesday's other three meetings
Newsboy believes his Nap, Redorange, is a juicy tip at Chester and he also fancies Square D'Alboni to win the feature Chester Vase
SQUARE D'ALBONI (3.05, nb) can continue where he left off last term with victory in the Group Three Boodles Chester Vase Stakes.
The Zarak gelding may not be eligible for a Derby entry, but he improved with each of his four runs as a juvenile, culminating in a hat-trick of victories.
Wins at Epsom and Salisbury were finished off at Chantilly in October, where Ralph Beckett's charge made light work of heavy ground in a 1m 1f Listed event with a four-length success.
This extended 1m 4f at Chester will suit him down to the ground.
ALI SHUFFLE (1.30) looks hard to opposed In the opening Caa Stellar Lily Agnes EBF Conditions Stakes.
Karl Burke's two-year-old won with ease on his debut at Redcar, and followed up nine days later at Beverley, where he held on well despite a 9lb penalty.
REDORANGE (2.05, nap), who ended his juvenile season for Clive Cox with a debut win in a nursery at Yarmouth over six furlongs, began this term with a fine effort over today's 5f trip in a competitive handicap at Sandown 12 days ago.
Showing plenty of early speed in a first-time tongue strap, he finished a length and a quarter in third behind Queen All Star.
From a favourable draw in stall 2, the Ladbrokes Best Odds Guaranteed On Racing Handicap looks his for the taking.
In a field of quality bred fillies, MINNIE HAUK (2.35), who cost €1,850,000 as a yearling, can give Aidan O'Brien a sixth win in the Listed Weatherbys ePassport Cheshire Oaks.
The daughter of Frankel scored a comfortable success over a mile on her second outing in October and should relish this step up in trip.
Cox has a double gold medal opportunity with DILIGENTLY (3.40) in the Love Federal Capital Handicap. Saffie Osborne's mount won a valuable sales event at York's Ebor meeting when last seen as a two-year-old, and has the benefit of a stall 1 draw.
At Newton Abbot, HELTENHAM (1.05) can defy an 8lb rise in the Kauto The King Handicap Chase following a comfortable 13-length victory at Perth 13 days ago.

Former Wimbledon champion reveals she's been cycling to Queen's on LIME BIKE after her car was stolen
HEATHER WATSON has been using an electric Lime bike to travel to a new tennis event in south-west London – after being driven mad by a stolen car saga. A first WTA tournament at Queen's Club in Baron's Court since 1973 works well for Watson because it is only a 10-minute cycle ride from her flat. 4 Heather Watson revealed she had her car nicked Credit: Getty 4 She won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon back in 2016 Credit: Simon Jones - The Sun 4 She has been riding a Lime Bike to Queen's this year Credit: PA 4 The tournament is a ten-minute cycle from her home Credit: Getty While some of her rivals will jump in official cars to and from the venue, the British No.7 prefers two wheels instead, a much greener mode of transportation. Her preference are the green-and-white Lime bikes, which can reach a top speed of 15mph and are easily accessible for anyone living in the capital. Watson – who won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title with Finn Henri Kontinen in 2016 – had her car stolen in the summer of 2023. The Guernsey-born ace's Range Rover was nicked from an underground car park at her West London home on the night she belatedly celebrated her 31st birthday with friends. READ MORE ON TENNIS EMMA WORRY Raducanu gets treatment for back injury in worrying scenes days before Wimbledon It happened in the week before the grass-court season started and at the time, she said she was pulling her hair out dealing with a time-consuming insurance company. A tracking company told her the vehicle was gone and though it was eventually found by police – and taken to a Charlton car pound – her problems only started when it came to the 'ball-ache' of dealing with the insurance detail. On Thursday afternoon, qualifier Watson was on her bike out of the premises as she lost 6-4 6-2 to former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. After that defeat, she revealed to the media why she was shunning cars, saying: '(Bikes) are my means of transport. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 'Since my car was stolen, and it's just been the bane of my life, I'm in the process of selling it. 'Still such a pain. Don't get a car. That's my advice. I'm a Lime biker through and through. 'It'll be the first time seeing him' - Olympic star Heather Watson reveals plans to watch Scottish footie hero boyfriend 'Rain or shine, I'm on my bike, that's how I get to the NTC (National Tennis Centre) every day. 'That's how I got home yesterday from the site because it takes ten minutes. 'I love cycling, and I feel like it's kind of a type of meditation for me, as well. 'I just really enjoy being out in the fresh air cycling. It's a great warmup, about 20 minutes from where I live to the NTC, so it's perfect for me. 'I won't be getting another car. I'm a cyclist. They used to drive me crazy, but now I'm one of them, and I have a different perspective. 'How was my car stolen? Oh, I won't bore you, but a couple years ago it got stolen. 'And it's just been breaking down ever since. Insurance? Biggest scam ever. They just try and rinse you. 'Yeah, disaster. I get discriminated against because I'm an athlete. So your prices are already….forget the cars. Not forever, but for now.' Watson is not the only sports star to be benefiting from Lime Bikes recently. The England Test team took up the mode of transport ahead of the match against the West Indies.

Ascot can lift mood after Derby doom and gloom with five days of royal glamour, star runners and a racing spectacle fit for the world stage, writes ED CHAMBERLIN
What a difference a week will make. From the doom and gloom of Epsom and its empty hill to the promise of something quite spectacular at Royal Ascot, five days that will illustrate everything great about British racing. Why are the two occasions so different? It would have been unthinkable during the late Queen's reign for her not to be at Epsom on Derby Day but the lack of a Royal presence seven days ago certainly contributed to how flat everything felt. The occasion, for so many reasons, isn't resonating with the nation. We had an audience of 1.3million on ITV, an improvement from 12 months ago but still nothing to write home about. In contrast, when we started covering racing in 2017, our ambition was to get one million-plus watching on midweek afternoons — we hope to do that on all five days next week. People can't get enough of Ascot and that's because the course has moved with the times, making it an occasion for everyone. When the Royal procession goes down the track, it passes a complete cross section of society within 500 yards. You have the picnickers on the Heath to those dining in the restaurant of Yannick Alleno, a chef with 17 Michelin stars; you'll have students there for a good time rubbing shoulders with aristocrats. Tickets are selling fast and Ascot expect close to 300,000 across the five days. It was all doom and gloom at Epsom on Derby Day just seven days ago This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Royal procession and Ascot, a racecourse in tune with their local community, have invited 500 kids from local schools on course to see the spectacle. It remains as relevant as it has ever been. My hope is the Princess of Wales will be there with the Prince on Wednesday for the blockbuster race named in his honour. I'd love to see David and Victoria Beckham in the carriages one day, too, as they would carry racing on to the front pages. I argued on these pages last year how I would love to see places reserved in the procession for the NHS heroes and heroines, to spread the love around, but the meeting is so successful I'll leave all decisions for the powers-that-be. Ascot's biggest selling point, however, is that Felicity Barnard — the new chief executive — knows what matters. For all the pomp, pageantry and popping corks, everything revolves around horses. Everyone wants to be here, with runners arriving from America, Japan, Australia, Spain and Norway. And, at the heart of it, we will be looking for a winner. Betting will be central to our coverage and my idea of a 'good thing' is Shadow Of Light in Friday's Commonwealth Cup. I can't wait. This is Ascot: historic and in fashion — and the reason everyone will be watching. BETS OF THE WEEK: Aside from Shadow Of Light, I expect REACHING HIGH to win Tuesday's Ascot Stakes for the King and Queen. I'm also hearing positive vibes for FITZELLA in the Albany Stakes on Friday.
