Value Scope: Each way horseracing tips from Steve Jones for Saturday on ITV

Go on my SON (3.12). Flat racing returns to Newbury with the track’s Classic trials taking centre stage but the aptly-named OLBG Spring Cup is the race in which to make hay.

Richard Hannon’s top-weight Son finished fourth in the Group 3 Greenham Stakes on this card 12 months ago but that was as good as it got last season. His juvenile form the previous year was very useful and he is just the type to pick up the thread this year having been gelded over the winter. Have 2pts each-way at 12-1. Sky Bet is paying out on five places.

BRIGHT TIMES AHEAD (2.00) looks the one to be on in the Dubai Duty Free Stakes. She looked a smart prospect when making an impressive debut at Newmarket in November.

The form is not particularly strong but the way she did it was breathtaking and the faster ground should help Ralph Beckett’s filly push her 1000 Guineas claims. The 10-1 on offer is too big. Have 1pt each-way.

It’s a case of ‘if you can’t beat him, you may as well join him’ at Ayr’s big jumps card. dominated last week’s Grand National and he looks likely to win the Scottish version he landed 12 months ago.

The Champion Trainer has half a dozen runners in this prestigious marathon chase. CAPTAIN CODY (3.35) is the one I like the most.

He was a Grade 2 winner over hurdles last season and he’s taken well to fences. His third behind Three Card Brag at Navan in January is smart form and he appeared to be blinded going into the fence when unseating his jockey with a circuit to run of the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham.

He has always appeared a strong stayer, so the step up to 4m could be ideal. Have 2pts each-way at 12-1. Sky Bet is offering seven places.

Mullins is also well represented in the Coral Scottish Champion Hurdle. KARAFON (2.15) will be the outsider of his quartet but don’t let that put you off.

He didn’t get home over 2m4f at the , having run in Grade 1 novice races previously. The faster ground should help. Have 1pt each-way at 25-1.
