1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +63%) Yeah Man		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(7) Yeah Man 9/2, This Irish raider has yet to win over fences but he's been in excellent form this season, finishing strongly for second of 10 in 3m Ascot handicap just before Christmas. Very much unexposed granted this sort of stamina test with first-time cheekpieces added. Running well over 3m at Ascot this term; looks the type to come into his own now over 3m4f.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/2 +8%) My Silver Lining		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(10) My Silver Lining 11/2, Relished the increased test of stamina when making it 4 wins in her last 7 starts in the Classic Chase at Warwick (29f, soft) 5 weeks ago, digging deep. Ought to remain competitive up 5 lb with the emphasis sure to be on stamina again. Step up to 3m5f worked a treat when she won the Classic Chase at Warwick (soft); up 5lb.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -50%) Highland Hunter		18 18/1(-50%)																															(3) Highland Hunter 18/1, Thorough stayer who made encouraging return from 21 months off when second on yard debut at Kelso in October. Unseated early over the National fences at Aintree next time and 2¾m was too short for him at Lingfield since. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie now stepping back up in trip 2021 Welsh National 2nd; tongue-tie is joined by cheekpieces; 7lb-claiming amateur aboard.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 +35%) Iwilldoit		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(1) Iwilldoit 13/2, Former winner of the Welsh National at Chepstow and Classic Chase at Warwick. Third in this season's Welsh National and fared as well as could be expected faced with an inadequate test of stamina when third in 2¾m Lingfield conditions event since. Big player. Big wins in the mud at 3m6f/3m5f; gave it a fair shot for 3rd in latest Welsh National too.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 -67%) Credo		10 10/1(-67%)																															(9) Credo 10/1, Likeable mare who landed a third chase success when seeing off 5 rivals on 27f Wincanton reappearance in October. Has run with credit if defeat since, 13½ lengths fourth of 14 to reopposing My Silver Lining in Classic Chase at Warwick (29f, soft) latest. Having a good season, fourth in the 3m5f Classic at Warwick, but this is another hot race.
7th	11 7th (11) (13/2 +35%) Snipe		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(11) Snipe 13/2, Taken very well to fences this term, winning handicaps around 3m at Southwell and Aintree (heavy) this term. Another sound effort when 4 lengths second over 3m at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Leaves the impression he'll stay further. Won well over 3m1f on soft; got going much too late over 3m on good last time; interesting.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -40%) Chambard		28 28/1(-40%)																															(2) Chambard 28/1, Ended 2021/22 campaign with success in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival. Disappointed last season but back on song with win in Becher at Aintree in December. May have found the run coming too soon when pulled up in Welsh National only 18 days later. 13l win over the big Aintree fences (3m2f, heavy); flopped in Welsh National 18 days later.
9th	8 9th (8) (22/1 +45%) Full Back		22 22/1(+45%)																															(8) Full Back 22/1, Useful winning chaser but fell on return from a long absence at Lingfield 13 days ago and it's hard to know how much of his ability remains. Well treated on peak efforts; fell on return from 434 days off, so current form is unknown.
6	6 |U| (6) (9/2 +25%) Famous Bridge		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(6) Famous Bridge 9/2, Winner of 2 handicap chases over 25.5f here this winter, latterly the Tommy Whittle on heavy ground just before Christmas. Seemed unsettled by an early mistake when never going in the Great Yorkshire at Doncaster since but could resume his progression back here. This longer trip seems sure to suit. Won twice over 3m1f in the mud here this winter; no show over 3m on good three weeks ago.

15:15 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 1) 28f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The Gavin Cromwell-trained YEAH MAN caught the eye when finishing a running-on second over 3m at Ascot in December and, provided the cheekpieces have the desired effect, he can take advantage of this step up in trip for a stable which tends to excel with handicappers crossing the Irish Sea. Snipe finished full of running when second over 3m at Doncaster last month and he rates as the main danger off an unchanged mark. Iron Bridge was second in the Welsh Grand National when last seen and also commands attention.

IWILLDOIT should revel under these conditions and might be worth siding with to land the third major staying handicap chase win of his career after shaping second best for a long way in the Welsh National over Christmas. The effort of giving chase to Nassalam seemed to tell in the closing stages, allowing the reopposing Iron Bridge to overhaul him for second but he's taken to turn the tables on Jonjo O'Neill's charge now. Yeah Man and course-specialist Famous Bridge complete the shortlist.

Snipe seems to be crying out for this sort of trip and YEAH MAN (nap) is too judged on his two runs over 3m at Ascot.

1	1 1st (1) (6/4 +33%) Cuthbert Dibble		1.5 6/4(+33%)																															(1) Cuthbert Dibble 6/4, Won 2 of his final 3 starts in his novice campaign and picked up where he left off with a career-best victory in an 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 18 days ago. Promises to stay this far and 8 lb rise may not get to the bottom of him. Progressed again when easy winner on return; leading claims with more improvement on cards.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +14%) Lord Snootie		6 6/1(+14%)																															(6) Lord Snootie 6/1, Improver when sent handicapping last season, including a 3¼m win at Warwick. Fair effort when sixth in a competitive handicap at Haydock in November, though shaped as if amiss when pulled up at Wincanton last time. Yard tends to hit form this time of year so not ruled out. Has yet to really fire this season.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +23%) Yes Day		5 5/1(+23%)																															(7) Yes Day 5/1, Made winning start over hurdles at Uttoxeter in October and has held form well since, likely to have scored again at Catterick (19.3f, soft) 24 days ago with a better jump at the last. Opening mark looks workable and he's a player. Quite a useful novice who is interesting on this first venture in handicaps.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -113%) J'ai Froid		16 16/1(-113%)																															(4) J'ai Froid 16/1, Useful handicap hurdler at his best who capitalised on a reduced mark when going in at Leicester (2m) in November. Continued in good heart since, scoring again in an 8-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, soft, 8/1) 35 days ago. Still respected in this deeper contest. Still useful at 11, winning handicaps over 2m and 3m1f this winter; this looks harder.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 +34%) Foillan		33 33/1(+34%)																															(10) Foillan 33/1, Winless and relatively lightly raced since landing this race for Dr Richard Newland in 2022. Showed some ability remains when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Carlisle (25f, soft) 62 days ago but this is a tougher task with tongue tie and cheekpieces now applied. Well held both starts for this yard; needs a wind op and new headgear combination to help.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +14%) Our Sam		12 12/1(+14%)																															(8) Our Sam 12/1, Completed hat-trick in 5-runner event at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) in October and produced another fine effort in defeat when runner-up in 6-runner C&D handicap (heavy) 56 days ago. Player with 10 lb claimer aboard. Completed hat-trick in first half of season and creditable second over C&D on heavy latest.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -14%) Castle Rushen		16 16/1(-14%)																															(5) Castle Rushen 16/1, Didn't take to chasing last season but ended campaign with pair of creditable placed efforts back over hurdles. Cheekpieces replace visor on return from 9 months off, so market check advised. Back on track returned to hurdles last spring but has a 296-day absence to overcome.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 -21%) Schalke		40 40/1(-21%)																															(9) Schalke 40/1, Winner at Kelso in December 2022 but hasn't finished any better than mid-field in 4 starts this season. Others preferred. Won in the mud last winter but struggled of late; recent wind op needs to have helped.
2	2 |PU| (2) (6/1 -20%) Punta Del Este		6 6/1(-20%)																															(2) Punta Del Este 6/1, Well backed before getting off the mark for current connections in a 7-runner handicap hurdle at this course (18.9f, heavy) 49 days ago. Stepped up markedly in trip and 10 lb higher in the weights but can't be dismissed. Improved when ready winner over 2m3f here on heavy latest; likely capable of better again.
3	3 |PU| (3) (9/1 -20%) Ilovethenightlife		9 9/1(-20%)																															(3) Ilovethenightlife 9/1, Scopey sort who raised her game when landing the EBF Mares' Final at Newbury last March. Has progressed further this year, looking better than ever when winning 7-runner event at Plumpton (25f, good to soft, 7/2) 19 days ago. Can prove competitive from 6 lb higher mark. Relished longer trip when comfortable winner over 3m1f latest; unexposed as a stayer.

15:50 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

J'AI FROID won a similar race over 3m1f at Warwick last month and that form was boosted when the third won last weekend. With that in mind, a 4lb rise may underestimated the veteran and he merits the utmost respect. Ilovethenightlife is an obvious threat following her success at Plumpton last time, while Punta Del Este and Cuthbert Dibble both have strong form claims but have to prove themselves over this distance.

CUTHBERT DIBBLE has all the makings of a smart performer and he can complete the hat-trick with the step up to 3m looking far from an inconvenience. Handicap-newcomer Yes Day and the progressive Our Sam also make appeal in a typically open contest.

An 8 lb rise for CUTHBERT DIBBLE's easy reappearance win could prove lenient. Punta Del Este and Yes Day head the dangers.

1	9 1st (9) (12/1 -71%) Now Is The Hour		12 12/1(-71%)																															(9) Now Is The Hour 12/1, Looked set to justify support until departing 2 out in a Limerick maiden in December and gained compensation in a similar event at Fairyhouse (20.3f) 3 weeks ago. Has more on his plate at this level but remains open to improvement. Easy maiden win at Fairyhouse three weeks ago and remains to be seen where limitations lie.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 +50%) Don't Rightly Know		11 11/1(+50%)																															(10) Don't Rightly Know 11/1, Defied a long absence when readily getting off the mark in an Exeter novice in November and produced her best effort to date under a change of rider when second of 16 in a 3m handicap at Newbury 25 days ago. This is tougher, however, and the sharper nature of this track may not suit so well. Others may have greater potential but she receives 7lb from males and has shown good form.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -122%) Inox Allen		20 20/1(-122%)																															(5) Inox Allen 20/1, £40,00 buy after winning an Irish point and has won both starts under Rules, namely a Hexham maiden and an Ayr novice at up to 21.4f. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this step up in grade and is also fitted with a tongue trap but is entitled to improve further. Has won both hurdle starts; others have better form but stamina looks a strong suit.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 -39%) Haiti Couleurs		25 25/1(-39%)																															(4) Haiti Couleurs 25/1, Made the frame both starts in maiden points back in 2021 and shaped well when chasing home Isaac des Obeaux on Rules debut at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy). Ran to a similar level when finding only a more experienced one too good at Ludlow (21.1f) since and remains open to improvement. Runner-up on first two hurdle starts; may improve for this longer trip but needs to.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 -230%) Latenightpass		11 11/1(-230%)																															(7) Latenightpass 11/1, Landed the Aintree Foxhunters' in April 2022 and made second outing for Dan Skelton a winning one in 13-runner cross-country handicap at Cheltenham (29.2f) in December. Most likely using this as a prep run for bigger targets back over fences in the spring. 11yo who has never run over hurdles but will be tough to beat if transferring chase form.
3	3 |PU| (3) (5/1 +44%) Great Pepper		5 5/1(+44%)																															(3) Great Pepper 5/1, Dual point winner who showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut in a 13-runner novice at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) in November. Followed up with a much-improved effort at Kelso (22.7f, heavy) subsequently and strong chance there's further improvement to come now tackling 3m. 2-2 under rules (2m4f/2m6f) and today's extra yardage could prompt further improvement.
6	6 |PU| (6) (10/3 +17%) Isaac Des Obeaux		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(6) Isaac Des Obeaux 10/3, Defined a penalty in the manner of a useful novice at Chepstow (19.4f) in December. Not helped by the run of the race when third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham subsequently and remains with potential over this longer trip. Rallied for 6l third in 2m4f Grade 2 at Cheltenham; today's longer trip could be a plus.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/2 +61%) Bowenspark		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(2) Bowenspark 11/2, Useful dual bumper winner who easily landed the odds at Stratford on his hurdling debut. However, isn't straightforward and was turned over at short odds under a penalty at Fontwell last time. Yet to kick on after impressive hurdle debut but pedigree hints at staying potential.
1	1 |PU| (1) (14/1 -87%) Alcedo		14 14/1(-87%)																															(1) Alcedo 14/1, Useful bumper performer who shrugged of a disappointing hurdle debut at Chepstow in October when running out of a comfortable winner of a 16-runner maiden at Exeter 2 months later. Collared only in the final 100 yds by Mt Fugi Park at Leicester subsequently and open to further improvement. Close second to Mt Fugi Park over 2m4f at Leicester and he's a possible contender.

16:25 Haydock Novices Hurdle (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

ISAAC DES OBEAUX was not disgraced when third behind a pair of high-class prospects in a Grade 2 over 2m4f at Cheltenham three weeks ago. The step up in trip may help Paul Nicholls' gelding and he is the one to beat. Now Is The Hour is an Irish raider who should not be underestimated following an easy win at Fairyhouse last time, while Alcedo and Bowenspark also make the shortlist.

GREAT PEPPER was value for a bit extra over the result after idling in front when defying a penalty at Kelso in December and could well be up to maintaining his unbeaten record under Rules now upped in class, especially with the extra distance likely to be in his favour. Isaac des Obeau wasn't seen to best effect in a Cheltenham Grade 2 on his most recent outing and remains with potential for last year's winning yard, with the shortlist completed by the promising Mt Fugi Park.

Last month's strong finish up the Cheltenham hill in a 2m4f Grade 2 bodes well for the prospects of ISAAC DES OBEAUX.

1	7 1st (7) (9/1 -157%) Spyglass Hill		9 9/1(-157%)																															(7) Spyglass Hill 9/1, Useful chaser at his best for Henry de Bromhead and, while he's prone to mistakes, he has the ability to make a big impact for new yard on first go in this discipline. Very useful for Henry de Bromhead in his heyday; non-runner Fakenham yesterday; respected.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 +30%) Iskandar Pecos		7 7/1(+30%)																															(6) Iskandar Pecos 7/1, €33,000 3-y-o, Jeu St Eloi gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2¼m-23f hurdle/chase winner Balkan du Pecos and 19 hurdle winner Darjeeling Pecos. Dam 2¼m chase winner. Wears cheekpieces. Multiple point winner, including latest start (Dec 31). Not dismissed. 6yo who is a three-time point winner but makes rules debut in a useful hunter chase.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 -27%) Quintin's Man		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(3) Quintin's Man 7/2, 12/1, career best when winning 7-runner hunter chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Going the right way and merits plenty of respect. Beat some talented rivals at Wincanton recently & could play leading role in follow-up bid.
4	1 4th (1) (7/2 -5%) D'jango		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(1) D'jango 7/2, Appeared to be very much on the decline prior to turning it round in hunters lately, scoring in an 8-runner event at Warwick 26 days ago. Should give another good account. 11yo who has thrived for the switch to hunter chases for his new yard; solid claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 +15%) Windsor Avenue		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(4) Windsor Avenue 11/2, Fairly useful chaser. Seven wins from 27 NH runs. 6/1, first run since leaving Brian Ellison when bit below form third of 6 in hunter chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not completely dismissed. May have needed stable debut; major player if tapping back into useful handicap chase form.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/2 +8%) Firak		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(2) Firak 11/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/1, first run since leaving N. A. Pearce when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) 58 days ago. Should be better for that and he has the ability to compete in this. Won two hunter chases last spring; possible contender on second start back from a break.
5	5 |PU| (5) (13/2 +0%) Captain Biggles		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(5) Captain Biggles 13/2, Won a novice hunter at Stratford on last Rules outing in June last year and has done well in points since, so merits respect for all that he has a bit to find. Has won his last five (four points, one hunter chase) but improvement needed in this field.
8	8 |PU| (8) (28/1 +58%) Willewonga		28 28/1(+58%)																															(8) Willewonga 28/1, £1,800 3-y-o, Multiplex gelding. Dam unraced. Multiple point winner, unplaced last time (Dec 31). 4-14 in points but beaten on last 5 runs in that sphere; likely vulnerable on rules debut.

16:55 Haydock Hunter Chase (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

QUINTIN'S MAN accounted for a decent field in this sphere at Wincanton a couple of weeks ago and that form gives him a big chance here. Captain Biggles won a similar race to this at Stratford last June and confirmed his well-being when winning between the flags last month. He could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Firak and D'jango.

SPYGLASS HILL is the class act in this field and, if his jumping holds up, he could make a successful start for his new yard. Quintin's Man and D'Jango both arrive in good order, so that pair could fight it out if the selection underperforms.

Quintin's Man is an improving 7yo but preference is for D'JANGO, who was in fine form for his new yard last month.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
