Steve Ryder has picked out three best betting tips for Saturday's racing cards at Newmarket.

TIP 1: PERCY’S STAR - 1pt
Best odds of 6/1 at Unibet .while publishing.
The Chris Dwyer trained PERCY’S STAR (best priced at 6/1) showed improved form when making a winning handicap debut at Leicester and he should hold strong claims of following up in this higher grade. The three-year-old was dropped in trip for the first time to 5f and fitted with first time cheekpieces that day when making all under Silvestre De Sousa to win by 3 ½ lengths.
The handicapper has raised Percy’s Star 8lbs for that victory and he now steps up in grade to this Class 4 0-85 handicap but he looks set to have an uncontested lead once again and should make a bold bid from the front.

TIP 2: CAUGHT U SLEEPING - 0.5pt EW
Best odds of 9/2 at SpreadEx while publishing.
Tiffany sets the standard but her sequence of second placed finishes is a slight worry and she is now fitted with a first-time visor. Preference instead goes to the Irish raider CAUGHT U SLEEPING (best priced at 9/2) who is only rated 10lbs inferior to the favourite but is in receipt of 12lbs from her elder.
The Noel Meade trained three-year-old has shown improved form on her previous two starts since stepping up in trip to 1m2f and she showed a plucky attitude when only beaten a neck by the unbeaten Rebel Moon at Naas last time in a Group 3 when Oaks fifth Cameo was a further 5 lengths back in third.
On breeding this step up in trip to 1m4f shouldn’t suit Caught U Sleeping but on running style it should and without a huge amount of pace in the race, she can win this with a better turn of foot.

TIP 3: RAJAKING - 1pt
Best odds of 4/1 at bet365 while publishing.
RAJAKING (best priced at 7/2) bounced back to form last time at Windsor when 4 th beaten only 1 ½ lengths and the handicapper has been generous in dropping him 1lb for that effort. The Terry Kent trained four-year-old showed strong form last season when trained by Stuart Williams with two narrow defeats over this course and distance off marks of 80 and 81.
The handicapper has dropped Rajaking down to a career low mark of 76 following his good run last time and he can get back to winning ways at a course where he has run well previously.
