13:15 Haydock Listed (Class 1) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (5/1 -11%) Regional	5 5/1(-11%)	(8) Regional 5/1, Lightly raced for a 5-y-o and while he didn't taste success last year, he shaped well on occasions, notably when third in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood in July. Enhanced excellent record fresh when landing a handicap at York 3 weeks ago and well worth a go at this level.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +14%) Equilateral	3 3/1(+14%)	(3) Equilateral 3/1, Has done his winning in Meydan in recent years and ran well on a rare start over 6f in March. Excellent second in Group 2 Temple Stakes over C&D a fortnight ago and this is just about the best form on offer dipped into listed class.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 -9%) Raasel	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Raasel 6/1, Continued his remarkable rise up the sprinting ranks last year with victory in a Sandown Group 3 prior to a close second in the King George. Fair return back on these shores in the Palace House and easy enough to excuse Temple Stakes run on account of track position.
4	10 4th (10) (25/1 -14%) Makarova	25 25/1(-14%)	(10) Makarova 25/1, Landed back-to-back Salisbury handicaps (at 6f) last spring and she acquitted herself well after, including when fifth in listed race at Newmarket on reappearance. Failed to build on that a fortnight ago and this tough out of her own sex.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Clarendon House	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(2) Clarendon House 6.5/1, Progressive 4-time winner as a 3-y-o who was highly tried on the back of success in small field conditions' event at Beverley (5f) last summer. Stepped up on reappearance when third in the "Dash" a week ago though that isn't form to get too carried away with.
6th	5 6th (5) (8/1 +0%) Korker	8 8/1(+0%)	(5) Korker 8/1, Prone to slow starts but a classy sprinter when it all clicks and stepped up on his reappearance when second in 13-runner handicap at York last month. Easy to excuse effort back there a fortnight ago given he badly hampered and he's run well both starts over this C&D.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -25%) Fine Wine	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Fine Wine 20/1, Came back thriving from a break when landing a brace of AW events at the end of 2022, namely a handicap and conditions event. Ran right up to form when third returned to turf at York a fortnight ago and he'll give it a good from the front.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +0%) Mondammej	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Mondammej 16/1, Prolific handicapper in 2021 but unable to add to tally since, often compromising his chance out of the stalls. Best effort of the season when second of 14 in handicap company at York a fortnight ago but needs to build on it at this level.
9th	9 9th (9) (3.6/1 +40%) Prince Of Pillo	3.6 3.6/1(+40%)	(9) Prince Of Pillo 3.6/1, Winner of first 2 starts and encountered traffic problems in the early part of the race when fourth in the Flying Childers. Back on track in a major way when impressively landing a listed race at Ayr before finishing third in a Group 3 final 2-y-o start. Retains potential as a 3-y-o.
10th	1 10th (1) (28/1 -12%) Arecibo	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Arecibo 28/1, Losing run dates back over 2 years and a couple of runner-up efforts in handicaps aside, he's been disappointing this season. Others more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

13:15 Haydock Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A three-year-old has not won this race since 2012, but it seems likely that Prince Of Pillo will go well after winning a Listed contest at Ayr in September before coming home third in the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket. With Ryan Moore on board, he is hard to ignore but the experience of EQUILATERAL may give him the edge. A seven-time winner, who looked back to his best when second in the Temple Stakes last month, and this may be his to lose. Regional, Clarendon House and Korker are others to mull over in a fascinating renewal.

Having established himself in better company than this last year, it hasn't been plain sailing for RAASEL of late. That said, there were clear excuses in the Temple Stakes here a fortnight ago so he's worth chancing at this level. Equilateral was second in that aforementioned race over C&D and he has to be feared, with Regional well worth his place in this company.

Slow starts can be an issue for KORKER but it was not his fault last time and he's run really well on both previous visits to Haydock.

13:15 Haydock Listed (Class 1) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (6.5/1 +28%) Raatea	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(7) Raatea 6.5/1, Useful handicapper who scored at Newcastle (6f) last June. Resumed with a solid fifth of 21 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, soft) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time and in the mix. On a good mark and his seasonal return was promising; new headgear; shortlist material.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/1 +44%) Emperor Spirit	10 10/1(+44%)	(11) Emperor Spirit 10/1, Just second outing for his current yard when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) in April. Failed to back it up though when sixth at Thirsk (6f) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Not at his best at Thirsk three weeks ago and this looks even tougher.
3	8 3rd (8) (20/1 +9%) Nomadic Empire	20 20/1(+9%)	(8) Nomadic Empire 20/1, Useful at his best and scored at Sakhir in December. Yet to hit top form in 2023 though, tenth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, firm) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with more required. 5f winner in Bahrain in December but not fired in 2 runs back in Britain; down in weights.
4	14 4th (14) (6/1 +40%) Cooperation	6 6/1(+40%)	(14) Cooperation 6/1, Resumed winning ways in 6f handicap at Thirsk in May and posted a solid fourth off 4 lb higher mark at Asscot (6f) four weeks ago. Should go well again off the same mark. Done well for this yard but he will need to step up on his latest Ascot fourth.
5th	5 5th (5) (50/1 -52%) Volatile Analyst	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Volatile Analyst 50/1, Landed 6f Doncaster listed event last March but his form nosedived after, only eighth of 10 in similar company there on his final start. Off 7 months with something to prove. Should be well treated but this looks a warm race for his seasonal return.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -83%) Illusionist	33 33/1(-83%)	(10) Illusionist 33/1, Bagged 5f York handicap last May but lightly raced since and he went backwards from his return when twelfth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, firm) 23 days ago. Something to prove. Good reappearance but never featured at York last time; return to 6f won't hurt.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 +40%) Fools Rush In	18 18/1(+40%)	(6) Fools Rush In 18/1, Course winner but he's yet to fire this season, only seventh of 10 in handicap at York (7f) 14 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Edging down the weights and should come good at some point; perhaps not today though.
8th	12 8th (12) (20/1 +39%) Music Society	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Music Society 20/1, Fairly useful 6f winner but his run of good form came to an end when twelfth of 14 in handicap at York (5f) 14 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Second in this race last year and also in his last two runs over 6f; each-way claims.
9th	1 9th (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Mr Wagyu	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(1) Mr Wagyu 2.25/1, Admirable sprinter who enjoyed another fine campaign last season, landing a big pot at the Curragh. Right back on track when third of 14 in the Dash at Epsom 7 days ago. This C&D winner looks sure to make a bold bid off an unchanged mark. Good 3rd at Epsom last week, good record over C&D and potentially well drawn; solid claims.
10th	2 10th (2) (7/1 +13%) Silver Samurai	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Silver Samurai 7/1, Yet to hit top form in three runs this term but he took this event 12 months ago and it would come as no surprise if he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces off an easing mark. Won this race with some swagger 12 months ago; no win since but new headgear could revive.
11th	13 11th (13) (40/1 -60%) Devil's Angel	40 40/1(-60%)	(13) Devil's Angel 40/1, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced after 5 months off when tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 88 days ago. Needs considering eased 1 lb. C&D win last summer was impressive but the handicapper has been in command since.
12th	9 12th (9) (3.33/1 +26%) All The King's Men	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(9) All The King's Men 3.33/1, Has taken his form up a level for his present yard, successful at Lingfield (7f) in January and eye-catching third of 12 in 8.5f Epsom handicap 8 days ago when not enjoying a clear run. Has form over this trip in France and interesting off an unchanged mark. Expensive to follow since an impressive AW win in January; down in trip; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Nomadic Empire is worth a second glance because David O'Meara has a good record in this race and he is dropping in grade. A place looks possible, but if RAATEA takes to first-time cheekpieces, he could shock them all with the faster ground in his favour and following a fifth in a better race at Newmarket last month off 1lb higher. Mr Wagyu is another for the shortlist after his Epsom third last weekend, assuming this doesn't come too soon for him.

ALL THE KING'S MEN is thriving under the expert tuteleage of George Boughey and can build on his eye-catching Epsom third to gain a second success for the yard. C&D winner Mr Wagyu looked back to his best when third in the Dash at Epsom and rates a big threat though, while last year's victor Silver Samurai is also weighted to have a say. Lucky Man and Lethal Nymph complete the shortlist.

While the bias towards high numbers may not be as prominent as a fortnight ago, things still point to a big run from MR WAGYU (nap).

13:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 12f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (6/1 -50%) Cumulonimbus	6 6/1(-50%)	(9) Cumulonimbus 6/1, Progressed well towards the end of his 3-y-o campaign and stepped up on his reappearance to resume winning ways in first-time cheekpieces in 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f, good) 23 days ago. Came in a for a well-judged ride on that occasion but shouldn't be discounted in his follow-up bid. Made all in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket; could have more to offer in the headgear.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 +55%) Live Your Dream	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(3) Live Your Dream 4.5/1, Progressed into a smart performer in 2021, winning 3 of his 6 starts. Not seen since beating only one home in Cesarewitch handicap that year but is well treated on the pick of his form and yard's runners rarely lack for fitness. Interesting. First run since October 2021 but he's on a competitive mark and his stable is in fine form.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 +25%) Prydwen	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Prydwen 9/1, Had top claimer up and duly stepped up on his reappearance effort when scoring cosily at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 15/2) in March, despite coming wide. Creditable effort in a better race at Kempton (11f) next time and seemed unsuited by the return to soft ground back on turf at Newmarket since. Course winner who was back on the scoresheet on AW in March but unplaced the last twice.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -20%) Onesmoothoperator	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Onesmoothoperator 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but took a step back in the right direction when third of 7 to Good Show in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Needs to build on that now. Close third at Hamilton last time and could build on that when getting a stronger gallop.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +14%) Global Heat	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Global Heat 12/1, Successful at Meydan in January but has an awkward head carriage and found life tougher back in handicap company at Goodwood (14f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Listed winner at Meydan in January but his British form isn't at the same level.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -230%) Dark Pine	33 33/1(-230%)	(7) Dark Pine 33/1, Turned in his best effort of the season back on turf when second of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, heavy) 30 days ago, running on. Worth another try at this trip on that evidence. Went close at Chester last month but best turf form has come there on soft/good to soft.
7th	10 7th (10) (4.5/1 +40%) Forza Orta	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(10) Forza Orta 4.5/1, Dual winner in 2022 who stepped up on his reappearance run when seventh of 15 in a competitive handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Needs considering. Fair performance at York last time and this is less competitive; not discounted.
8th	8 8th (8) (4/1 +11%) Good Show	4 4/1(+11%)	(8) Good Show 4/1, Backed up previous effort to resume winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm, 2/1) 22 days ago, digging deep. Remains with few miles on the clock and can give another good account. Lightly raced 4yo who won at Hamilton last time and is open to further improvement.
9th	1 9th (1) (7/1 -8%) Get Shirty	7 7/1(-8%)	(1) Get Shirty 7/1, Had an excellent 2022, winning Old Newton Cup over C&D prior to an excellent fifth in the Ebor Handicap at York. Finished last in Dubai Gold Cup (bled) at Meydan and Yorkshire Cup at York last 2 starts but could get back on track now returning to handicap company. Query regarding current form but he's feasibly treated now back in a h'cap & could go well.
10th	6 10th (6) (20/1 -11%) Cosmic Desert	20 20/1(-11%)	(6) Cosmic Desert 20/1, Finally got off the mark after proving expensive to follow in 5-runner handicap at Sandown (10f) in August. Shaped as if amiss at Newmarket on final outing and sold out of Charlie Appleby's yard for £100,000 in March. Ex-Godolphin; bought for £100,000 in March; lightly raced and perhaps has more to offer.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The fact that Godolphin continue with Live Your Dream, despite 20 months off, suggests that they feel he still has wins in him and the six-year-old might go well under Louis Steward, though a win on his return looks a big ask. Cumulonimbus was all out to hold on at Newmarket last month and could go well, but he may set the race up for the Hamilton winner GOOD SHOW. The son of Nathaniel was produced perfectly by P J McDonald that day and gets the vote off just 3lb higher here.

LIVE YOUR DREAM has a long absence to overcome, but his yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and he'll surely go close if reproducing the pick of his 2021 form. Forza Orta ran well in a competitive event at York on his most recent outing and should be competitive once more, while Get Shirty is well worth a second look now returning to handicap company having faced stiff tasks the last twice.

The drop back into a handicap could be the catalyst for a return to form from GET SHIRTY and he is taken to defy top weight.

15:00 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 12f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4.5/1 +47%) Sea Silk Road	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(5) Sea Silk Road 4.5/1, Very useful Sea The Stars filly who landed Goodwood listed event last May. Solid efforts in the frame after in Ribblesdale, Prix de la Nonette and Princess Royal Stakes after, but below her best when down the field in Middleton Stakes at York (10.2f, firm) on return. Can get back on track. Last year's Ribblesdale runner-up and she could leave York reappearance run well behind.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 +25%) Nachtrose	9 9/1(+25%)	(3) Nachtrose 9/1, Useful performer who won her first 2 careers starts last year, namely maiden at Munich and Oaks d'Italia at Milan. Has matched rather than advanced that form however, runner-up in a Group 2 contest at Hoppegarten (15.9f) last month, so more is required. Easy winner of last year's Italian Oaks and no surprise if she has a part to play.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 +31%) Poptronic	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Poptronic 11/1, Big improver in first half of 2022 who completed her hat-trick in 10f Newcastle Group 3 last June. Raced typically keenly but still managed to run up to best when third in Middleton Stakes at York (10.2f, firm) just over 3 weeks ago but a career best will be needed to land this. Reappeared with third in 10.2f Group 2 at York; question mark about this longer trip.
4	6 4th (6) (1/1 +56%) Time Lock	1 1/1(+56%)	(6) Time Lock 1/1, Progressed very well last year, going close in the Galtres at York (1½m) when stepped up to listed level on her final outing. Produced a perfectly satisfactory return after 9 months off when runner-up at Goodwood (12f) last month and there's surely more to come from her after just 5 career starts. Listed runner-up the last twice and this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 -48%) Modaara	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(2) Modaara 3.33/1, Opened account in good style second time up at Chelmsford City (10f) in October and took a big step forward after 6 months off when bolting up under a penalty at Kempton (12f) last month, leading 2f out and forging clear by an impressive 13 lengths. Clearly destined for better things. Takes steep rise in grade but very impressive on AW last time & may well be up to the task.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Mimikyu and TIME LOCK meet again after battling it out in a novice race at this venue last year, where the former just held on to land the spoils. The latter gave a good account on seasonal reappearance at Goodwood, finding only one rival too strong, and the daughter of Frankel can reverse the form. The John & Thady Gosden-trained filly demands the utmost respect, though, while Modaara remains unexposed and completes the shortlist after brushing aside her rivals at Kempton last month.

Although a beaten favourite on return, TIME LOCK produced a perfectly satisfactory effort when pulling clear with one at the top of her game at Goodwood last month and, with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Harry & Roger Charlton's filly is fancied to kick on with Ryan Moore in the plate for the first time. Modaara couldn't have been any more impressive on her recent return at Kempton, so she could give the selection most to think about, with Mimikyu taken to fill third spot.

The well-bred MODAARA takes a leap in grade but was extremely impressive in a Kempton novice last month and earns the vote.

15:00 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:35 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2.25/1 +18%) Jumby	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(5) Jumby 2.25/1, Smart performer at 6f/7f who gained a fifth career success in the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury last August. Has returned in form (stretched by trip in Lockinge at same track last time) and seems likely to make his mark. Interesting back over 7f; avoids a penalty for last year's Group 2 Hungerford win.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +0%) The Astrologist	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) The Astrologist 3/1, Group 3 winner in Australia who ran a screamer when runner-up in Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan in March, just failing. Bit disappointing in Duke of york Stakes last time but still merits plenty of respect. Australian gelding; leading player on ratings on this next stepping stone to Royal Ascot.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.75/1 +0%) El Caballo	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(3) El Caballo 2.75/1, Runner-up on debut but then reeled off 6 wins on the spin, latest when touching off Flaming Rib in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last May. Disappointed at Royal Ascot and, having been off subsequently, returned with a tame display, so bit to prove. Disappointing the last twice; progressive otherwise; 1-1 at Haydock and 1-1 over 7f.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 +68%) Gorak	16 16/1(+68%)	(4) Gorak 16/1, Useful handicapper who has been in good order and resume winning ways over C&D a fortnight ago. This is a much stiffer task, however. Successful in C&D handicap two weeks ago; faces a much stiffer task upped in class.
5th	2 5th (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Boardman	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Boardman 7.5/1, Smart C&D winner who was back to his best when landing an 11-runner handicap at Chester 14 days ago. Worth a try in this company but a steady pace would act against him. Useful handicapper; better than ever at Chester two weeks ago; first Group attempt.
6th	6 6th (6) (8.5/1 -55%) The Wizard Of Eye	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(6) The Wizard Of Eye 8.5/1, Useful colt who was out of his depth in the Lockinge at Newbury last time but faces a more realistic task in this company. Not ruled out. Drops back to a more realistic level; peak turf effort came in Group 3 last July.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jumby failed to land a blow in the Group 1 Lockinge but demands plenty of consideration in these calmer waters. Preference, however, goes to BOARDMAN, who ran on well to put three lengths between himself and second place at Chester last month. The seven-year-old may still be progressing and gets the nod to build on that career-best effort. The Australian raider, The Astrologist, failed to fire at York last time out but could bounce back stepping up in trip.

JUMBY is a likeable type who shaped as if still in form when down the field in the Lockinge at Newbury last time. Back down in trip, he's worth chancing, with The Astrologist regarded as the main danger. Boardman has a bit to find on form but he arrives in good heart and has won here before.

Dropped back further in grade, smart Australian gelding THE ASTROLOGIST gets the vote. El Caballo is second choice.

15:35 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.5/1 +58%) Chartwell House	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(6) Chartwell House 2.5/1, Epsom maiden winner (7f) at 2 yrs. Good efforts on 2 of his 3 starts in handicaps so far this term, latterly when fourth of 13 at Newmarket (7f) 3 weeks ago. Looks sure to be in the mix again from same mark. Campaigned at Newmarket this season, running creditably on two occasions.
2	4 2nd (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Royal Charter	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(4) Royal Charter 5.5/1, €240,000 breeze-up purchase who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a Newmarket maiden (6f) 12 months ago. Absent since finishing down the field in Ascot Group 3 back in July but she's in excellent hands and could well do better now handicapping on return. Twice-raced filly who retains potential back down in class; interesting contender.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 +18%) In These Shoes	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(3) In These Shoes 2.25/1, Starspangledbanner filly who confirmed promise of opening 2 runs when landing a 7f Redcar maiden in September. Just fair efforts in nurseries after but improved form when making a winning return at Beverley a fortnight ago. 5 lb rise perfectly fair. Successful in similar event at Beverley on reappearance; open to further progress.
3	9 3rd (9) (40/1 -100%) Sunny Orange	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Sunny Orange 40/1, Failed to progress from debut success in a Leicester maiden (5f) for Ralph Beckett as a 2-y-o but back on track for new yard, not disgraced fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f) 8 days ago. Eased 2 lb subsequently but this does look tougher. Drop back to 7f looks a plus but he's more exposed than most.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 +0%) Overrule	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Overrule 10/1, Fairly useful form at 2 yrs, off the mark at second attempt in Redcar novice (7f, heavy) in November. Not scaled same heights either outing so far this term but gelded ahead of this and market may guide encountering fast ground for the first time. Couple of disappointing efforts this term; gelded operation needs to help.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 +50%) Dionysian	10 10/1(+50%)	(2) Dionysian 10/1, Won 2 AW novices over 1m at Kempton at the end of 2022. Proved too free and yet to threaten in pair of turf handicaps so far this year and he'll need to settle better if he's to feature here. 2-2 on AW; 0-3 on turf and has a big doubt over current form.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 -22%) Hougoumont	11 11/1(-22%)	(8) Hougoumont 11/1, Won a pair of 6f novices last autumn and not disgraced either start in handicaps this spring, looking worth this try at 7f when fourth in 11-runner handicap here (6f) 16 days ago. Feasible to think he can do better yet. Latest effort (over 6f here) suggests he's ready for another crack at 7f.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -33%) Out Of Shadows	10 10/1(-33%)	(1) Out Of Shadows 10/1, Showed improved form on back of being gelded/6 months off when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) in April. Similar form from revised mark when third at Musselburgh (1m, soft) 6 weeks ago and not taken lightly dropped back in trip. Has form figures of 313 since wearing cheekpieces; looks to have a solid chance.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Given she was pitched in a Group 3 on only her second start as a juvenile, Royal Charter is of high interest on her return to action and must be considered. However, OUT OF SHADOWS, who won over this trip on the all-weather on his penultimate start, could be worth chancing now he drops back in distance. He sets a reasonable standard at this stage and carrying top weight might not be insurmountable in this company. In These Shoes and Bussento are also worth a second look.

Competitive fare with the vote in favour of CHARTWELL HOUSE. He was quickly back on track returned to a sounder surface when fourth in a deeper handicap at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix again from the same mark. Bussento shapes like this drop in trip will suit and he has a bigger effort in his locker. In These Shoes and low-mileage Royal Charter complete the shortlist.

Back on forecast faster ground, it's worth giving another chance to BUSSENTO. Second choice is Hougoumont.

16:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +0%) Choisya	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Choisya 5/1, Southwell novice winner in January and resumed her progress when when failing by a whisker on turf debut at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently. 2 lb rise for that is fair and she has to enter calculations. Went very close at Goodwood two weeks ago on turf debut; major contender.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +27%) Venetian	4 4/1(+27%)	(7) Venetian 4/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs and bounced back following a tame reappearance display when third to stablemate Lion of War in a competitive Musselburgh handicap (9f, good to firm) last weekend. Possibilities here if able to back that up. Ran well at Musselburgh last Saturday; largely consistent; place possibilities.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 -14%) Dornoch Castle	25 25/1(-14%)	(4) Dornoch Castle 25/1, Went the wrong way at 2 yrs after a promising start and has finished nearer the last than first both starts this season. Plenty to prove at present. Has failed to improve in two handicaps this year, well behind Choisya latest.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +20%) Good Gracious	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Good Gracious 8/1, Showed plenty of ability in maiden/novice company on turf prior to winning nursery/AW debut at Newcastle (7f) last October. Well held tried in a tongue strap on return at Newmarket (1m, good) but headgear omitted here and she's worth another chance. May bounce back with Newmarket reappearance under her belt; progressive in 2022.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 +31%) Indiana Be	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(8) Indiana Be 4.5/1, Went close off this mark in a Redcar nursery last September and deservedly got his head in front when landing the odds in a maiden at Ripon (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago. This is more demanding but he's not without hope. Straightforward task in Ripon maiden last week; went close on sole handicap run.
6th	3 6th (3) (1.88/1 +6%) Just Bring It	1.88 1.88/1(+6%)	(3) Just Bring It 1.88/1, Off the mark when getting the better of Choisya at Kempton in March and latest fourth in the valuable C&D Silver Bowl represented a step forward, particularly given that he encountered traffic problems at crucial stages of the race. Big player off the same mark. Ran creditably in the Silver Bowl over C&D two weeks ago despite poor luck; respected.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +45%) Pol Roger	11 11/1(+45%)	(6) Pol Roger 11/1, Won novice events here and at Thirsk in August last summer before a good second on nursery debut at Ayr. Ended 2-y-o campaign on a low-key note, though, and has failed to fire in 3 starts so far this season. Juvenile season included two wins; not in anything like the same form this term.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

SPARKS FLY has been on a roll since being switched to turf in April and bids to extend a winning sequence that has seen her shoot up 28lb in the handicap. However, given that she won by five and a half lengths when eased near the finish at Windsor last time, it's hard to put a cap on how much more she has to offer. Choisy and Just Bring It look the pick of today's opposition.

Having shaped well in a valuable C&D handicap a fortnight ago, JUST BRING IT looks the one to be on now eased in class off the same mark. Next on the list is Venetian, who put his reappearance shocker firmly behind him when a solid third from the front at Musselburgh, while Choisya is also shortlisted on the back of her Goodwood near-miss. Good Gracious is also worth a second look, for all that she was disappointing on her first run of the season at Newmarket.

Back down in class, JUST BRING IT holds very interesting claims off an unaltered mark. Choisya is second choice.
