14:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +40%) Tele Red	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Tele Red 3/1, Ran poorly at Newbury last time but had been in decent form prior to that. Has done his winning over 1¼m but is fully effective at 1m. In good form until beating only one in Newbury handicap last month; sort to bounce back.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 -20%) He's A Gentleman	3 3/1(-20%)	(2) He's A Gentleman 3/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 15 days ago, better placed than most. Back on track when fourth at Kempton 15 days ago; shortlisted off a falling mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +0%) Southwold	2 2/1(+0%)	(1) Southwold 2/1, Solid start to his career on AW over the winter, winning a novice and handicap. Returns from a 136-day break as an unexposed sort and sure to have a big say if as effective on turf. Good fourth at Southwell in March; form franked so a player for his turf debut.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -22%) Extinction	22 22/1(-22%)	(6) Extinction 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden (33/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. One to note in the betting. Been brought along steadily, 10th in Doncaster maiden latest; no forlorn hope in handicaps.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +43%) Moai	4 4/1(+43%)	(4) Moai 4/1, Useful in France earlier in career but has yet to show much for current yard. Has a first-time tongue tie added to refitted cheekpieces. Mark in freefall but could only consider if backed. A useful 1m winner in France but he's yet to fire for his current yard; plenty to prove.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -75%) Balqaa	14 14/1(-75%)	(5) Balqaa 14/1, 9/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) in February. Is as effective on turf and claims if showing up from a break in similar form. Back to form when 2nd at Newcastle in Feb; she needs to hit the ground running after break.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SOUTHWOLD sets the form standard, having won two of his four outings to date, and the son of Gleneagles is entitled to improve making his debut on turf. Tele Red is likely to bounce back from his latest effort at Newbury, when only beating one rival home, while Balqaa, who was runner-up at Newcastle when last seen, and He's A Gentleman appear best of the remainder.

SOUTHWOLD did well on AW over the winter and this looks a decent opportunity for him to make a winning start to his turf career. The front-running Tele Red can bounce back from a lesser run at Newbury and give him most to do.

This looks a good opportunity for SOUTHWOLD to make a winning start on turf and go 3-5 in his career with his AW form reading well.

14:40 Haydock Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	2 3rd (2) (1.75/1 +50%) Cool Run	1.75 1.75/1(+50%)	(2) Cool Run 1.75/1, Half-sister to several winners and shaped well when fifth at Thirsk on debut. Failed to progress at York next time but was still green. Mid-60s RPRs for both runs so far, albeit over 5f trip that's possibly already inadequate.
4	1 4th (1) (2.5/1 -108%) Bint Havana Grey	2.5 2.5/1(-108%)	(1) Bint Havana Grey 2.5/1, Havana Grey filly who produced a promising first effort when third of 12 in 6f novice event at Newbury (good to firm, 9/2) 24 days ago. Sure to improve. Near-3l third on last month's Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) sets a clear form standard.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 +34%) Kinetic	66 66/1(+34%)	(5) Kinetic 66/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when well held in C&D maiden (good to firm, 80/1) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. 80-1, slowly away and beaten 12l on her recent C&D debut (good); could need more time.
6th	3 6th (3) (80/1 -142%) Emilshaan	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Emilshaan 80/1, Made appeal on paper but was below expectations when last of 6 in maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) on debut last week. Wouldn't settle and beaten a long way out on last week's debut (7f); rather more needed.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 -43%) Princess Alex	10 10/1(-43%)	(6) Princess Alex 10/1, Dark Angel filly who shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good, 11/4) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Didn't see out 5f on recent debut; will have learned plenty, but others persuade more.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Haydock Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Bint Havana Grey shaped well on her first start when finishing third at Newbury and appears open to improvement following that display. However, a chance is taken on a newcomer in the shape of WELSH HARBOUR. A full-sister to Temple Stakes winner King's Lynn, she represents a yard who have done well with their juveniles so far this season and gets the vote to make a winning start to her career. Cool Run and Princess Alex complete the shortlist.

WELSH HARBOUR makes plenty of appeal on paper being a sister to a smart sort, so she's taken to make a winning start. Bint Havana Grey shaped promisingly on her debut at Newbury last month and seems sure to improve, while Princess Alex should have learnt from her opening effort at Hamilton and may prove best of the rest.

The clear pick of the debutantes on paper, Royal runner WELSH HARBOUR gets the nod over recent Newbury third Bint Havana Grey.

15:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 -25%) Knebworth	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Knebworth 5/1, Bagged 3 AW wins last year. Has found life tougher in handicaps this time round but wasn't well placed on his most recent outing at Newmarket and isn't one to write off from an easing mark. Still more convincing on Polytrack, but this is the lowest grade handicap he's ever run in.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Asadjumeirah	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) Asadjumeirah 3.33/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022 but has been shaping up well of late, finding only a progressive one too good at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago. Must enter calculations. Needs the breaks and risks attached, but two good seconds of late and still well treated.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +20%) Bellagio Man	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Bellagio Man 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. Not at his best since but has been given a chance by the assessor. Tapeta 6f/soft turf 7f winner; below par last twice, but given a chance by the assessor.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +27%) Hour By Hour	4 4/1(+27%)	(8) Hour By Hour 4/1, 2-y-o winner who returned with good placed efforts this spring. Below form at Hamilton last time but may bounce back after a break. Given time since Hamilton flop, and a player on April's Pontefract near-miss (6f, soft).
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -82%) Desert Doctor	40 40/1(-82%)	(1) Desert Doctor 40/1, Well treated on old form but hasn't been seen since finishing down the field here last August. Others preferred. In a class 5 handicap for the first time, but only 1-18 on turf; sizeable absence to defy.
6th	2 6th (2) (3/1 -9%) Cold Stare	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Cold Stare 3/1, C&D winner who again ran well when second of 11 in 7.2f handicap (13/2) at Ayr (good to soft) 11 days ago, running on. Should remain competitive back down in trip. Trip and slow ground perfect; lost last 22 starts, but another rock-solid second latest.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +11%) Mighty Power	25 25/1(+11%)	(5) Mighty Power 25/1, Again notably travelled well when adding to his tally at Newcastle (6f) in March. Shaped as if still in good form on AW next 2 starts but below best on turf last 2 outings. Never really a factor when seventh over C&D latest (good) and others persuade more.
8th	6 8th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Danzart	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(6) Danzart 4.5/1, Has done well since refitted with a hood, completing a hat-trick in 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in June. Good efforts subsequently, including when left with too much to do at this course (7f) last time and remains one to be interested in. Stamina to spare at trip; refusal to settle was more the issue than current mark last time.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HOUR BY HOUR didn't quite kick on as expected from his return display when runner-up at Pontefract in April, having not appeared to get home over 7f at Leicester before disappointing at Hamilton. That said, he returns from two months off the track and is capable of bouncing back on this occasion. Cold Stare has been running consistently well this season and is likely to enter calculations, while Asadjumeirah and Danzart are others who are capable of a decent showing.

DANZART has had an excellent time of things since being refitted with a hood and would have been right in the mix but for ending up with so much to do here 2 weeks ago, so he remains one to be interested in. Asadjumeirah is proving a bit expensive to follow but should take advantage of his reduced mark before long, with Cold Stare also feared.

If over his Hamilton disappointment, HOUR BY HOUR can account for comparative veterans Cold Stare and Asadjumeirah.

15:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 14f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/1 -50%) Quantum Leap	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Quantum Leap 9/1, In first-time hood/tongue strap, possibly needed the run after 8 months off when seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 30 days ago. Interesting contender upped in trip for his handicap debut. Didn't consolidate winning debut effort latest; mark looks tough, but yard still in form.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +20%) Ravenscraig Castle	2 2/1(+20%)	(2) Ravenscraig Castle 2/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, confirmed return to form when second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft, 5/2) 11 days ago. Can give another good account. Almost held on over 1m5f at Ayr latest (soft); down in class and 1lb well in here.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -9%) Mothill	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Mothill 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 9/4, won 6-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft, 9/2) 29 days ago. Arrives in good form as he makes his first start on the level for current yard (handicap debut in this sphere). Productive last 12 months over hurdles; unseen on the Flat since early 2021 in France.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +50%) De Vega's Warrior	10 10/1(+50%)	(7) De Vega's Warrior 10/1, Remains a maiden after 13 runs. Again ran creditably when seventh of 11 in handicap (25/1 at Kempton (2m) 44 days ago, but he looks to be vulnerable once more. Drop back to 1m6f makes sense; 0-13, however, and mixed results on soft ground this year.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +44%) Carrigillihy	5 5/1(+44%)	(6) Carrigillihy 5/1, Dropped in grade, recorded his fifth win at Pontefract when successful in 9-runner handicap (12f, good to soft, 10/3) 10 days ago. Carries a penalty and he faces a tougher task back up in class. Another Pontefract win (1m4f) latest; penalised mark concerns more than the softer ground.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Prince Alex	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(1) Prince Alex 3.33/1, Six wins from 18 Flat runs, including at this C&D. Stepped up on seasonal/stable debut when fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good, 10/1) 63 days ago. Can return to winning ways back down in grade. Dropping mark and class, and returning to a trip/going combination he enjoys; player.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/1 +45%) Natchez Trace	11 11/1(+45%)	(5) Natchez Trace 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in June. 10/1, rare poor effort when eighth of 10 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, despite having run of race. Needs to find more as he steps up in trip. Southwell 1m4f win in June; compromised by frequent refusal to settle otherwise recently.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE was denied by a neck once again when runner-up at Ayr recently and compensation could await now turned out quickly off the same mark. Carrigillihy gained a second success of the season at Pontefract last Tuesday and is feared most off a 5lb penalty here, while Mothill is another to note on this return to the Flat, having recorded a career-best performance over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month.

PRINCE ALEX has been lightly raced in recent years, but he showed that he retains his ability when fourth at Newmarket on his second run for his current yard in May. The 6-y-o is now 4 lb below his last winning mark and can get the better of Ravenscraig Castle, who has returned to form on his last 2 starts. Quantum Leap also merits consideration.

The top two make the most appeal. PRINCE ALEX has the winning form over 1m6f with cut, and is preferred to Ravenscraig Castle.

16:25 Haydock Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (1.88/1 +37%) Dark Desire	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(5) Dark Desire 1.88/1, Pulled up in 6f course novice on debut last June. It's taken a long time to get her back but she went off at only 7/2 for that debut so was presumably quite well regarded at the time. Interesting to see whether there's any strength behind her in the betting now. Pulled up in novice here on her debut 13 months ago; worth monitoring in the betting.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -64%) Operation Gimcrack	18 18/1(-64%)	(3) Operation Gimcrack 18/1, 11/2, ninth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Should progress but big chunk of improvement needed to go close. Hinted at promise when ninth in maiden at Doncaster on his debut; can take a step forward.
4	8 4th (8) (28/1 -40%) Sacred Falls	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Sacred Falls 28/1, 125/1, modest form when 7 lengths fourth of 9 on debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Debut 4th in 6f novice at Doncaster; this daughter of Dark Angel can do better now.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.2/1 +0%) Utilis	1.2 1.2/1(+0%)	(4) Utilis 1.2/1, Fairly useful form at 2 but didn't make his reappearance this year until 3 weeks ago (had been gelded) and ran well below his best. Very much the one to beat if back to his peak form but there have to be a few doubts. Fair maiden at 2yrs; beat only one at Newcastle on return but good claims if back to best.

LTO Selection:

16:25 Haydock Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Although UTILIS has something to prove after an underwhelming reappearance on the all-weather earlier in the month, Brian Ellison's charge holds strong claims on last season's turf efforts and may bounce back to form in what looks a weak affair. Dark Desire was pulled up on her debut here last year but better can be expected, while newcomer Inca Queen is a potential fly in the ointment and is worth a second look in the betting.

This could go to one of the two newcomers, with INCA QUEEN chanced over Crown Dreams before market clues. Dark Desire needs keeping an eye on in the market as she was prominent in the betting when pulling up lame on her course debut last summer. Utilis sets the standard and this is easier than the 0-105 Newcastle handicap he ran poorly in on his return.

Utilis is respected but INCA QUEEN looks the part on paper and is an interesting alternative.

17:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1.38/1 +21%) Nigiri	1.38 1.38/1(+21%)	(4) Nigiri 1.38/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Still green but shaped well when third of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1) 25 days ago, nearest finish after meeting trouble. May well do better now handicapping. Caught eye when third at Wolverhampton latest; more to offer on handicap debut; big shout.
2	7 2nd (7) (2.5/1 +38%) Streaky Bay	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(7) Streaky Bay 2.5/1, Bounced back to her best after a 13-month absence to win 10-runner handicap (40/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there again. Made light of a 13-month absence when 40-1 Yarmouth winner; much respected up 2lb.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 +12%) Plumette	7.5 7.5/1(+12%)	(1) Plumette 7.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February for David Loughnane. Wasn't beaten far or given a hard time when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Respected from reasonable mark. Encouraging start for new yard with Newbury 8th 24 days ago; considered off easing mark.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -14%) Laura's Breeze	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Laura's Breeze 8/1, Showed ability on her first 2 starts in novice/maiden company before racing too freely when down the field at Yarmouth last time. No chances have been taken with her opening mark. Much too free when only ninth at Yarmouth last time; not ruled out now handicapping.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 -14%) Princess Naomi	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Princess Naomi 4/1, Landed a gamble at Bath in April before a pair of good second-placed efforts on her next 2 outings. Found her run of good form coming to halt at Salisbury last time but she's the type to bounce back quickly. Won at Bath and in good form until only seventh at Salisbury latest; sort to bounce back.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -100%) Glory And Gold	80 80/1(-100%)	(2) Glory And Gold 80/1, On the up for William Haggas last year but stable/seasonal debut at Beverley contained no encouragement. Something to prove after more than 2 months off. Fair 7f winner for William Haggas; last on yard debut at Beverley in May; needs more.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Plenty went wrong for NIGIRI when finishing third behind subsequent winner Tiffany at Wolverhampton last month and she holds leading claims now entering handicaps off what looks a lenient opening mark. Streaky Bay defied market expectation when holding on to triumph at Yarmouth recently and a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly from going close once more. Princess Naomi was too bad to be true at Salisbury in mid-June and the three-year-old could also have a say.

NIGIRI shaped really well in unfavourable circumstances at Wolverhampton last time and Ralph Beckett's filly is taken to make a successful handicap debut. Streaky Bay returned from a year-long layoff with a win at Yarmouth earlier in the month and can go well again from only a 2 lb higher mark, whilst Princess Naomi is also respected if able to shrug off a rare poor effort.

Handicap debutante NIGIRI (nap) looks very much the way to go here on the back of her recent eye-catching Wolverhampton third

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.
