ITV racing tips and previews (Friday 24th April 2026)

Wait 5 sec.

An early treat on Friday with ITV Racing live from Sandown and Perth.I will be attending Sandown so fingers crossed for plenty of winners! It looks a mouthwatering card with Group races a plenty. The star attraction is Field Of Gold making his reappearance in the bet365 Mile.The bet365 Classic Trial has also attracted an exciting field and I’m really looking forward to the action. Couple that with the Highland National from Perth and there is something for everyoneTop horse racing offerITV Racing (Friday) tipsSandown 1.50 Nobody Knows – 7/2 with CoralPerth 2.05 Fever Dream – 4/1 each way with bet365Sandown 2.25 Almeric – 6/4 with Betfred NEXT BESTPerth 2.40 Jupiter Des Mottes – 9/2 each way with CoralSandown 3.00 Field Of Gold – 5/4 with Betfred NAPSandown 3.35 Raaheeb – 7/2 with LadbrokesJoe’s best horse racing betting tips for ITV Racing on Friday (24th April)Find my top tips for Friday 24th April 2026 racing with odds from the best horse racing bookies below:Sandown 1.50 bet365 Esher Cup Handicap (Class 2) 1mJohn and Thady Gosden won this 12 months ago with Fifth Column so I expect Organise to be popular having won both starts to date but NOBODY KNOWS is also unbeaten and he looks a colt with considerable ability.I feel like he has won both starts without really coming off the bridle. He has been notably strong through the line and if he handles this quicker ground he could be a colt to follow for the season ahead.I do expect the pair to battle it out as they look to have lots of potential but Laureate Crown did impress winning under just hands and heels on return at Wolverhampton and could be value in the market betting without the front two. Bet on NOBODY KNOWS to win at 7/2 with Coral Perth 2.05 QuinnBet Highland National Handicap Chase (Class 3) 3m6f121yTrainer Christian Williams would have had this race in mind for FEVER DREAM and I like his profile coming into this.He was an eye-catcher on reappearance at Kempton finishing strongly for second and then improved to win readily at Warwick last month. He is 8lb higher but is clearly thriving again and should have a great chance to follow up and win this nice pot.Busty Boy is admirably consistent and while his strike rate is a concern stepping back up in trip could see him as a danger to all here. At a price Stratagem has the back-class to get involved as well and also arrives with confidence high. Bet on FEVER DREAM Each Way at 4/1 with bet365 Sandown 2.25 bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes (Group 3) 1m1f209yIt is a shame both Almaqam and Pride Of Arras have come out now but as a result it looks a great chance for ALMERIC to make a winning return.He has won 3 times from just 5 starts and was handed a tough ask on final outing at the top level behind Calandagan on Champions Day. He was progressive prior to that and if handling this faster surface could prove a cut above this field.Devil’s Advocate has fitness on side having bumped into Gethin on return at Kempton so looks a danger off the back of that. Saddadd can still do better and is versatile regarding the ground so could be the dark horse in the race at a price. Bet on ALMERIC to win at 6/4 with Betfred Perth 2.40 Perth Racecourse Racing & Events Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 3m2f127yI’m siding with another horse near the top of the market at Perth in the shape of JUPITER DES MOTTES.His claims look crystal clear to me off the back of that Carlisle romp. He was heavily supported and got into a lovely rhythm under Danny McMenamin.The latter continues to impress in the saddle and given the horse is completely unexposed over this sort of trip I’m keen to keep him on side despite the 6lb rise in the weights.It won’t be easy as this is a better quality of race and the danger is probably the Skelton horse as the market has highlighted.Coumeenoole was part of that gamble landed by The Blind Squirrels syndicate and he did that easily at Bangor so despite the rise could run another big race.Go To War also catches the eye under James Bowen and could be worth a saver as I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get competitive at least. Bet on JUPITER DES MOTTES Each Way at 9/2 with Coral Sandown 3.00 bet365 Mile (Group 2) 1mI can’t wait to see FIELD OF GOLD back out and he is the main reason I will be making the journey to Sandown on Friday. I have followed this horse every step of the way and he could be capable of even better now as a 4yo.The reports from home all seem positive and with the yard going so well (10 winners in the past fortnight alone) he should have an obvious chance to make a winning return under Colin Keane. He is proven fresh and is a high class colt.Zeus Olympios is a perfect 4-4 and beat Opera Ballo at Newmarket when last seen. He is clearly quite an exciting colt as well so it should be a fascinating clash. Opera Ballo takes his chance and Never So Brave is also more than capable so it looks a really good renewal on paper. Bet on FIELD OF GOLD to win at 5/4 with Betfred Sandown 3.35 bet365 Classic Trial (Group 3) 1m1f209yAidan O’Brien won this last year with Swagman so Action could be all the rage under Ryan Moore but he might just be vulnerable to a big improver.RAAHEEB really impressed me winning on debut at Ascot towards the end of last season. He seemed to have a really good temperament and could be open to a lot of improvement as a 3yo this season. I know connections think a lot of him and he really is bred in the purple so could be a smart prospect.Wise Prince also blew rivals away to win on debut at Nottingham and is another one who could have taken a big step forward and be a big player here.Al Zanati went 2 from 3 as a 2yo and is another one who could do better this season. Bet on RAAHEEB to win at 7/2 with Ladbrokes My top tip for ITV Racing on FridayIt really is a superb card at Sandown on Friday and because I will be in attendance both my best bets come at the Esher venue.ALMERIC looks to have a great chance of making a winning return especially with the race cutting up somewhat.I have doubled him with FIELD OF GOLD in the bet365 Mile as the Gosden yard are red-hot and this horse has the potential to do better again as a 4yo and I think he is a cut above this field.
