The Northumberland Plate is the feature of Saturday’s racing and there looks to be plenty of horses heading to Newcastle with a fantastic chance of winning one of the year’s biggest betting heats.

This year’s famous race looks to be another fiercely competitive renewal and with the likes of Overturn, Activate and Deauville Flyer all lining up in the two-mile slog it looks to be right up to scratch.

However, solving the Northumberland Plate puzzle is always a truly daunting task and there are better bets to be had on Saturday.

The most interesting race of the day could come in the shape of the John Sunley Memorial Criterion Stakes (3.20) at Newmarket and INLER (14/1, Coral) can bounce back to form after a luckless run in the Jury Stakes at Haydock last time out.

Brian Meehan’s talented but equally frustrating colt has only won twice from eight starts in his career and there is a strong feeling that we are yet to see the best of the former John Best inmate.  After picking up a class two event at Doncaster at the backend of last season, he returned in 2011 with below-par performances at Newmarket and York and looked rusty on both occasions.

However, he looked to be on the way back to his best when he chased home The Cheka at Haydock last time out and after travelling strongly through much of the race he looked to be the most likely winner two furlongs from home.  Held up on the rail, the field bunched and he never got the gaps when he needed them under the hands of Jamie Spencer.  By the time he had chance to mount a challenge, the bird had already flown and the colt could only plug on for fourth, keeping on well to finish two-and-a-quarter lengths behind the eventual winner.

Inler gets a 5lb pull in the weights with The Cheka on Saturday and with Meehan confident his new hold-up tactics could bring about the best in the star he rates a seriously good each-way prospect on ground he is sure to love.

Nick Wilby's bet of the day: 

Newmarket 3.20 - Inler (14/1, Coral)
