The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) Papagei 15/8, Winner at Yarmouth in April and added to his tally over 1½m at Leicester (good to firm) 26 days ago, forging clear. Raised 8 lb but he's very much unexposed at this trip. Won in fine style at Leicester (upped to 1m4f) on latest outing; now 8lb higher.

2nd (3) (15/2 +25%) Furzig
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(3) Furzig 15/2, Latest win at Catterick in July. 25/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) 15 days ago. Catterick win was the highlight in a solid sequence, but below form on both outings since.

3rd (1) (9/2 +18%) Croeso Cymraeg
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(1) Croeso Cymraeg 9/2, Veteran who has shown there's still plenty of life in his legs when placed on 2 of his last 3 starts. Likely vulnerable to a progressive 3-y-o for win purposes but every chance he'll be in the mix again. Only one win (last July) in the last two years but this veteran is regularly close up.

4th (2) (14/1 +0%) Arcon
14
14/1(+0%)
(2) Arcon 14/1, Formerly trained in Germany. Stepped up on his British debut when fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 19 days ago but he didn't seem to stay the trip. Ex-French; second start for this trainer (1m4f on Southwell AW) was more like it.
5th
7
5th (7) (6/1 +57%) Hakuna Babe
6
6/1(+57%)
(7) Hakuna Babe 6/1, Second in the mud at Salisbury in May but has found life harder since, finishing eight of 9 over 1m at Lingfield last time. Remains to be seen whether a significant step up in trip helps. Tailed off in cheekpieces latest; 1m last three starts and she's never been beyond 1m2f.
6th
9
6th (9) (5/1 +58%) Elemental Eye
5
5/1(+58%)
(9) Elemental Eye 5/1, Has shaped well on a couple of occasions in recent months but he was a little disappointing when stepped up to 1½m at Beverley 12 days ago. 0-11 but three seconds, the latest here (1m2f); sixth of seven when upped to 1m4f recently.
7th
5
7th (5) (17/2 +6%) Aztec Sun
8.5
17/2(+6%)
(5) Aztec Sun 17/2, Fair form in 3 outings for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland. Has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut for a new stable. Needs monitoring in the betting with Danny Tudhope booked. Has had wind surgery and left Joseph O'Brien; unexposed handicap debutant.
8th
11
8th (11) (28/1 -27%) Glasses Up
28
28/1(-27%)
(11) Glasses Up 28/1, Latest win at Ayr (1¼m) in August but not in the same form when only ninth of 10 at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive. Ayr specialist, infrequent winner these days but latest instance was only two starts back.
9th
4
9th (4) (100/1 -100%) Galahad Threepwood
100
100/1(-100%)
(4) Galahad Threepwood 100/1, Has beaten only a couple home in 3 runs back on the Flat in recent months. Others are preferred again. Has mostly struggled to get competitive since winning over hurdles in March 2023.
10th
10
10th (10) (150/1 -436%) Trafalgar Square
150
150/1(-436%)
(10) Trafalgar Square 150/1, Well held in 2 handicaps on the Flat for this yard in the spring. Second on Market Rasen hurdle debut in June but beaten 11 lengths and well held at Cartmel since. Others preferred back on the Flat. 0-4 for Andrew Balding and 0-4 for current yard; cheekpieces join his usual tongue-tie.
13:25 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
PAPAGEI has been progressive throughout this season and put in a career best when an easy winner over 1m4f at Leicester last month. Even an 8lb rise for that may still underestimate the son of Masar and he gets the vote. Croeso Cymraeg hit the crossbar off this mark at Beverley recently and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Elemental Eye and Aztec Sun.
PAPAGEI had plenty to spare when successfully tackling 1½m for the first time at Leicester last month and is selected to make light of an 8 lb rise. Scottish Reel appeals as one who could have more to come in handicaps and is second choice ahead of in-form veteran Croeso Cymraeg.
There are possible improvers among the 3yos, with PAPAGEI (nap) selected following his impressive win when upped to 1m4f.
(12) Our Absent Friends 12/1, Dual winner last season who has been knocking on the door lately, again finding one too good in first-time cheekpieces at Ripon 11 days ago. Shouldn't be far away. Runner-up on three of his last four starts; each-way contender off same mark as last time.
2
5
2nd (5) (11/1 -10%) Arecibo
11
11/1(-10%)
(5) Arecibo 11/1, Unreliable type who hasn't won for some time and wasn't really on his game at Pontefract last time. Capable from this mark on a going day, though. 9yo who is on long losing streak but has run some good races this year; on career-low mark.
3
1
3rd (1) (16/1 -33%) Grace Angel
16
16/1(-33%)
(1) Grace Angel 16/1, Confirmed promise of previous effort when scoring at Brightonl last month but didn't back it up at Windsor 22 days ago. Others are more appealing. Won at Brighton last month but inconsistent and only fifth at Windsor most recently.
4
11
4th (11) (11/4 +58%) Secret Mistral
2.75
11/4(+58%)
(11) Secret Mistral 11/4, Resumed from five months off with a career best in landing 13-runner handicap over C&D in June and has remained in top form since, so expected to give another good account. Won over C&D in June and placed on next three starts; can make another bold bid.
5th
8
5th (8) (9/1 +10%) The Coffee Pod
9
9/1(+10%)
(8) The Coffee Pod 9/1, Latest win at York in July but hasn't fired on his last couple of outings and others look better treated. 3yo who won at York in July; not at very best the last twice but can't be written off.
6th
3
6th (3) (15/2 -50%) Skallywag Bay
7.5
15/2(-50%)
(3) Skallywag Bay 15/2, 13/8, career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 4 days ago, easily. That form might not be all that strong but she deserves plenty of respect under the penalty. Won in good style at Brighton on Monday but had just the three rivals to beat.
7th
7
7th (7) (11/1 -47%) Thunder Star
11
11/1(-47%)
(7) Thunder Star 11/1, Showed improved form in handicaps in 2023, winning 3 times with her latest success at Yarmouth (5.2f) in September. Returned to form over C&D on penultimate outing but not in the same form next time. Given a break since. Disappointing over C&D latest but runner-up over C&D previously and could bounce back.
8th
4
8th (4) (16/1 -88%) Copper Knight
16
16/1(-88%)
(4) Copper Knight 16/1, Latest win at Chester in June. Mostly respectable efforts since and this likeable veteran can never be underestimated. 10yo who tends to ply his trade in a higher grade than this and he's not ruled out.
9th
10
9th (10) (9/1 -6%) Kuwait City
9
9/1(-6%)
(10) Kuwait City 9/1, Back to winning ways at Yarmouth in April and shaped encouragingly when eighth of 12 at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June. Subsequent efforts best excused and his mark is easing back down, so not written off. 4lb lower than for reappearance Yarmouth win but subsequent form has been patchy.
10th
14
10th (14) (15/2 +12%) Bayraat
7.5
15/2(+12%)
(14) Bayraat 15/2, Largely consistent in 2023 and back in the groove this year, finishing well when third at York 41 days ago. Looks a big player if the race is run to suit. Close third of 18 off this mark at York last time and could play another leading role.
11th
2
11th (2) (14/1 +0%) Never Dark
14
14/1(+0%)
(2) Never Dark 14/1, Made all at Nottingham in July but has found life tougher since, down the field in a competitive event at York last time. Drops back down in grade but others have more compelling claims judged on recent evidence.
12th
9
12th (9) (18/1 -50%) Love Wars
18
18/1(-50%)
(9) Love Wars 18/1, Won her only start as a 2yo and has bettered that on one occasion this term. Last couple of outings have been underwhelming, though, and others are more persuasive. Went close over C&D in June on handicap debut; the return here could be a positive.
13th
13
13th (13) (66/1 -313%) Zaphea
66
66/1(-313%)
(13) Zaphea 66/1, Put up one of her better efforts when scoring at Hamilton a fortnight ago but will likely face competition for the lead here and she's not proved the most reliable to date. Three wins this year, most recently at Hamilton; up in the weights and in grade today.
14:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SKALLYWAG BAY had plenty in hand when winning over an extended 5f at Brighton on Monday and Richard Hannon's filly is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Secret Mistral and Our Absent Friends have both been knocking on the door of late and are likely to be in the mix once again, while Zaphea and Arecibo complete the shortlist.
SKALLYWAG BAY emerged from the fog to score well at Brighton earlier in the week and she might well have enough to defy the penalty if the race doesn't come too soon. Secret Mistral and Bayraat are both obvious dangers.
Bottom weight BAYRAAT runs off the same mark as when third of 18 at York last time and is the selection ahead of Secret Mistral.
(1) First Instinct 17/2, Made plenty of appeal on paper and overcame inexperience to land 11-runner maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away but strong at the finish. Penalty to carry and bare form is ordinary but she's sure to improve. Neck win on debut at Nottingham; carries penalty but could have lots more to offer.
2
7
2nd (7) (11/10 +37%) Stormy Impact
1.1
11/10(+37%)
(7) Stormy Impact 11/10, Study of Man filly who shaped with plenty of encouragement when second behind another promising newcomer in novice at York (6f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut in July. Failed to land the odds at Beverley since but well worth another chance. Runner-up on both starts and holds leading form claims.
3
2
3rd (2) (9/2 -80%) Liberalised
4.5
9/2(-80%)
(2) Liberalised 9/2, Won 6f Hamilton maiden on debut in June and stepped up on that form when 3½ lengths eighth of 11 to Arabian Dusk in Duchess of Cambridge over 6f a month later. Speedy pedigree and perhaps didn't see out 7f when disappointing in the Sweet Solera Stakes latest. Won on debut at Hamilton in June; held in Group races since but drops back down in grade.
4
5
4th (5) (12/1 -71%) Mother Mara
12
12/1(-71%)
(5) Mother Mara 12/1, Foaled March 17. 68,000 gns foal, 80,000 gns yearling, Mohaather filly. Closely related to useful winner up to 6f Showalong and half-sister to 5f/6f winner Nigg Bay and winner up to 1¼m Miss Harmony. Lot to like on paper for powerful yard. A useful standard is required on debut but her trainer does well with 2yos here.
5th
4
5th (4) (25/1 -25%) Flashy Dark Angel
25
25/1(-25%)
(4) Flashy Dark Angel 25/1, Foaled January 21. 25,000 gns yearling, €75,000 2-y-o, Dark Angel filly. Dam unraced half-sister to 1m/9f winner Oversubscribed out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Zurigha. Ultimately didn't achieve a great deal starting out at Haydock in July. Since had a wind op. Has had wind op since C&D debut but others have far more obvious claims.
6th
6
6th (6) (10/3 +39%) Rogue Sensation
3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(6) Rogue Sensation 10/3, Foaled January 29. 50,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to 1½m/12.5f winner Kensington and 2-y-o 7f winner Tchaikovsky. Bred to stay well but showed plenty on 6f debut when runner-up at Carlisle 16 days ago. One to consider. Close second on recent debut at Carlisle and in calculations after that promising start.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
First Instinct has to be of interest following her debut win at Nottingham last month, but marginal preference is for LIBERALISED. Karl Burke's filly has not been disgraced in Group company since winning on her first start at Hamilton in June and the daughter of Kodiac can take full advantage of having her sights lowered. Rogue Sensation and Stormy Impact are others with strong form claims, while Mother Mara is a noteworthy newcomer.
Following a highly-promising debut, STORMY IMPACT failed to land short odds at Beverley 3 weeks ago but she will have learnt a bit from that and on balance, is well worth another chance. Liberalised is the chief threat on form, though Rogue Sensation and First Instinct need considering.
Having been a clear runner-up on both starts, STORMY IMPACT is taken to get off the mark. Rogue Sensation is second choice.
(3) Bintjeddah 16/1, 220,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot filly. Off the pace from halfway and ultimately finished well held when seventh of 8 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 14 days ago. This should reveal more with cheekpieces now reached for. Tailed off on recent debut but early days for 220,000gns yearling, who is in top hands.
2
4
2nd (4) (5/2 -67%) Blessed Star
2.5
5/2(-67%)
(4) Blessed Star 5/2, Sotsass filly who has displayed fair form both starts to date, second of 7 in novice (9/4) at Lingfield (7.6f, good) 27 days ago. Step up to 1m promises to suit now and she's one to consider. Runner-up on both starts and holds leading form claims.
3
2
3rd (2) (7/2 +65%) Amica
3.5
7/2(+65%)
(2) Amica 7/2, €75,000 yearling, Dark Angel filly. Pulled hard/ran green and ultimately offered little when seventh of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 55 days ago. Probably one for later on. Too green to do herself justice on debut; could leave that run well behind at some stage.
4
5
4th (5) (2/1 +20%) Shining River
2
2/1(+20%)
(5) Shining River 2/1, Expert Eye filly who hinted at ability on debut at Gowran (7f) in July and duly took a step forward when third of 10 in 7f maiden here 4 weeks ago, outpaced over 1f out before finishing well. Further increase in trip a plus on that evidence and she's open to further improvement. Close third over 7f here on second start when shaping as though this extra 1f would help.
5th
6
5th (6) (20/1 -67%) Zaraquelle
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Zaraquelle 20/1, Foaled March 30. €65,000 foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Zarak filly. Dam, French 2-y-o 9f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 12.7f Dadoozdart out of half-sister to Dewhurst Stakes winner Intense Focus. Worth a check in the betting for positive vibes on debut. Dam French 1m1f AW 2yo winner (RPR 91); likely to improve for this debut outing.
6th
1
6th (1) (5/1 -43%) Blueandtangerine
5
5/1(-43%)
(1) Blueandtangerine 5/1, Time Test filly who benefited from the further increase in trip when opening her account in a Beverley maiden (7.4f) 12 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Remains capable of better still as her stamina is drawn out further and she's respected here. Won when upped to 7.4f at Beverley and she's respected under a penalty.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Runner-up on both career outings, BLESSED STAR is bound to have learned plenty from both experiences and stepping up to 1m looks like a good move. The daughter of Sottsass may be able to take this from the front, with Shining River looking best placed to chase her home after a promising effort over 7f here last month. Blueandtangerine is likely to find things tougher under a 4lb penalty after scoring at Beverley, but she cannot be ruled out.
SHINING RIVER left her debut form well behind and saw out her race in the manner of one who promises to be suited by this further increase in trip when third over 7f here 4 weeks ago. She gets the vote with further progress anticipated. Blessed Star and Beverley scorer Blueandtangerine are expected to pose chief resistance.
Irish raider SHINING RIVER stayed on well for a close third over 7f here four weeks ago and can get off the mark now upped to 1m.
(11) Knight Templar 11/2, Disappointed on final start Sir Mark Prescott but looked well suited by the 2f longer trip when opening his account for new connections at Ffos Las (12f, soft) last month, staying on to lead post (runner-up has won twice since). Upped further in trip and should have more to offer. Up to 1m4f for new yard at Ffos Las (soft) and made the breakthrough in last-gasp fashion.
2
10
2nd (10) (12/1 0%) Far L'amore
12
12/1(0%)
(10) Far L'amore 12/1, Stuck pretty well to his task in first-time cheekpieces when 2¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Almudena in handicap at Sandown (14f, good to firm) in July but appeared not to stay the longer trip at Newcastle (16.2f) just over 2 weeks ago. Back down in distance and more severe headgear reached for. Stayed 1m6f penultimate outing; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and not entirely ruled out.
3
9
3rd (9) (10/1 +17%) Easy Dancer
10
10/1(+17%)
(9) Easy Dancer 10/1, Opened his account on his second start in a handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) in July but failed to beat a rival at Sandown (14f, good to firm) later that month, not looking a straightforward ride. Possibly better on all-weather at present so best to look elsewhere. Off the mark in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) in July; last of six at Sandown latest.
4
3
4th (3) (9/1 -13%) Animato
9
9/1(-13%)
(3) Animato 9/1, Won back-to-back handicaps in May but somewhat of a mixed bag since, one of his better efforts when third of 6 at Redcar (14f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago, albeit having run of race. Now just 1 lb above his last winning mark but consistency is his achilles heel. Up and down this summer after he won two in a row over 2m in May.
5th
2
5th (2) (8/1 -7%) Billy No Mates
8
8/1(-7%)
(2) Billy No Mates 8/1, 3-time C&D winner who wasn't disgraced from a falling mark when ninth of 11 at York (11.8f, good to soft) 8 weeks ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and shouldn't be underestimated returned to this venue. The striking positive is three 1m6f wins from six races at Haydock; took this race in 2020.
6th
7
6th (7) (10/3 +17%) Frankelian
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(7) Frankelian 10/3, Fairly useful maiden who shaped similarly to previously back in maiden company when runner-up at Lingfield (11.6f, good) just under 4 weeks ago, needing the emphasis more on stamina. Extra distance sure to play to her strengths and first-time headgear is also enlisted. 0-7 but performing consistently; new trip looks worth a go; she also now tries headgear.
7th
6
7th (6) (15/2 +32%) Gifted Angel
7.5
15/2(+32%)
(6) Gifted Angel 15/2, Tasted success 3 times over hurdles during 2023 and back to form when a close third at Chester in July. Proved nothing like so effective back at 2m at York later that month but this should prove more suitable (remains long-standing maiden on Flat, however). 0-18 on the Flat but he was a close third at Chester (1m6f, good to soft) in July.
8th
5
8th (5) (13/2 +64%) Haarar
6.5
13/2(+64%)
(5) Haarar 13/2, Proved he still retains his ability in this sphere when runner-up at Thirsk in May and won back-to-back races over hurdles later that month. Never involved after 8 weeks off at Newcastle (16.2f) just over 2 weeks ago and others more appealing on balance. Well beaten at 40-1 in a recent AW run, after a break; could be more interesting today.
9th
8
9th (8) (33/1 -200%) Lunar Jet
33
33/1(-200%)
(8) Lunar Jet 33/1, Soft-ground specialist scored early last season at Redcar (10f, heavy). Just respectable efforts this season and latest outing at Chester (12.3f, soft) just under 8 weeks ago suggested this step back up in trip is worth exploring again. Career-low mark to work with, too. Veteran whose last four wins have been on soft or heavy; second run beyond 1m4f on Flat.
10th
1
10th (1) (40/1 -100%) Seal Of Solomon
40
40/1(-100%)
(1) Seal Of Solomon 40/1, Little to shout about this season, again finishing well held after 12 weeks off following another breathing operation at Southwell (12.1f) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on but continues to fall in the weights without showing any signs of taking advantage. Has struggled this season, given wind surgery before latest start.
11th
4
11th (4) (10/1 +9%) Hardy Bloke
10
10/1(+9%)
(4) Hardy Bloke 10/1, Winning hurdler in Ireland for Emmer Mullins who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind judged on his 3 efforts on the level this summer. Step up in trip certainly in his favour and this looks more his bag, though drying ground will pose another question. Won once for Emmet Mullins; up in trip for Flat handicap debut, he needs a market check.
15:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Now that the penny has dropped for KNIGHT TEMPLAR after a determined success on his first start for new connections at Ffos Las, the son of Haafhd is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming. The booking of Tom Marquand is another plus and he is preferred to Desert Quest and Lingfield second Frankelian, who has long shaped as though stepping up to this distance may suit. Animato and Billy No Mates are players based on the pick of their form as well.
Plenty in with a squeak for the longest race on the card but the suggestion is KNIGHT TEMPLAR, who made a winning start for new connections at Ffos Las last month and, upped further in trip, Robert Stephens' 3-y-o is fancied to take his form up a notch. Second choice is Frankelian, who is the only filly in the line-up and should be suited by this extra distance sporting first-time headgear. 3-time C&D winner Billy No Mates can edge out the consistent Desert Quest for third.
3yo Knight Templar is of major interest but there is enough evidence that BILLY NO MATES will still be able to pack a punch.
(2) Persuasion 4/1, Winless so far this year and remains 3 lb above the mark off which he registered his latest success at Thirsk last September. Conversely, he's been knocking on the door of late and form figures over this C&D read 1322, so there is certainly cause for optimism. Modest 3-38 strike-rate but went close in this last year and placed on last three starts.
2
5
2nd (5) (4/1 +43%) Yorkshire
4
4/1(+43%)
(5) Yorkshire 4/1, Resumed with 7f Thirsk success before an excellent second of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June. Below par since but it's fair to say that luck hasn't exactly been on his side and he's capable of playing a part granted a trouble-free passage. No impact the last twice but progressive earlier in the season and not written off.
3
6
3rd (6) (17/2 +6%) Tropez Power
8.5
17/2(+6%)
(6) Tropez Power 17/2, Followed 7f success at Southwell in April with a string of creditable efforts in defeat on turf, including when a close third over a mile here in June. Best to overlook latest run (hampered) and he has to enter calculations. Just 1-21 on turf but he's run some good races on grass this season; each-way possible.
4
7
4th (7) (7/2 -5%) Mezzo Soprano
3.5
7/2(-5%)
(7) Mezzo Soprano 7/2, Unbeaten in 3 starts last season and sound return to action when second of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) in June. Proved to be something of a let-down over 6f at Windsor since but she could easily get back on track now returned to what appears to be her optimum trip. Lightly raced 4yo who shaped at Windsor as though this return to 7f would be ideal.
5th
11
5th (11) (10/1 +17%) Flaccianello
10
10/1(+17%)
(11) Flaccianello 10/1, Successful 3 times during a highly productive 2-y-o campaign and showed benefit of her reappearance run when good second at York (6f, good to soft) in June. However, she has failed to reproduce form akin to that upped to this trip the last twice. 7f is worth persisting with and things could click if she gets her preferred slow surface.
6th
9
6th (9) (12/1 -60%) Pumalin Park
12
12/1(-60%)
(9) Pumalin Park 12/1, Won 7f Salisbury handicap in June and followed that with a good second at Kempton (1m). Failed to progress when fourth of 8 at Newmarket (7f, good) last time but that was a creditable effort nonetheless and he merits respect. Hasn't kicked on from June Salisbury win but may take sizeable step forward at some stage.
7th
8
7th (8) (16/1 -60%) Abduction
16
16/1(-60%)
(8) Abduction 16/1, Signed off 2023 campaign on a winning note at Wolverhampton. More miss than hit so far this season but he was just behind Persuasion when third in the C&D handicap won by English Oak in May. Reproduction of that form would give him a fighting chance off this 5 lb lower mark. He's had a patchy campaign but is on a dangerous mark; no surprise if he features.

8th (4) (22/1 -38%) Riot
22
22/1(-38%)
(4) Riot 22/1, Notched second success of 2024 when arriving late on the scene at Doncaster in June. Didn't do much wrong in strong big-field handicaps at top tracks on next 2 starts before running no sort of a race in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m) 15 days ago. Visor swiftly refitted. Two 7f wins this year and handicapped to be in the mix if back on song.

9th (3) (12/1 +33%) The Turpinator
12
12/1(+33%)
(3) The Turpinator 12/1, Better for reappearance when producing a career-best to run out a comfortable winner at Pontefract in June. Respectable sixth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last time, shaping as though the return to this trip would be a good thing. Possibilities. Kept on over 6f at Ripon last time and holds each-way claims for in-form yard.

10th (10) (18/1 -100%) Tanmawwy

18/1(-100%)
(10) Tanmawwy 18/1, Shaped well when fourth here in July and, though not so good on his next 2 starts, this 6-y-o resumed winning ways at Epsom (7f, good) recently. This is more demanding under a penalty but he could emerge as a threat late on if they go a good clip. Exploited reduced mark at Epsom recently and may be able to build on that victory.

11th (1) (22/1 -159%) Boardman
22
22/1(-159%)
(1) Boardman 22/1, Has won over this C&D and posted one of this season's better efforts when narrowly outpointed back here last month. Below par both subsequent starts, though, and while he has slipped to a dangerous mark, others make more appeal on this occasion. Went close over C&D three starts ago but down the field at Newcastle and Chester since.
16:20 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Tanmawwy bounced back to form when scoring at Epsom recently and holds an obvious chance under his penalty, but the vote goes to THE TURPINATOR. Grant Tuer's seven-year-old wasn't disgraced in sixth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month and has proven to be more effective over this distance in his career. He can capitalise on the drop in grade, while Persuasion and Pumalin Park are others to watch out for.
Cases can be made for the majority of these and the suggestion is PUMALIN PARK, who in fairness hasn't really progressed since landing a Salisbury handicap four starts back but there wasn't much wrong with his latest effort at Newmarket. Tropez Power's strike rate on turf is modest but he has gone close on several occasions this year and is second choice ahead of Persuasion and The Turpinator, while Abduction is also capable of a bold show.
The blinkers have worked well for THAPA VC and he is taken to add to his win at Doncaster in July. Tanmawwy is feared most.
(9) Kindest Nation 15/2, Southwell maiden winner who ran creditably when third of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Kempton (7f) 30 days ago, racing closer to the pace than the pair that beat her. Wears first-time visor. 0-6 in handicaps and not progressing, but she's not discounted off a reduced mark.

2nd (12) (7/2 -17%) Kristal Klear

7/2(-17%)
(12) Kristal Klear 7/2, Capitalised on a falling mark in 13-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/3) 7 days ago, bit in hand. Escapes a penalty for that success so has excellent claims of following up. Escapes penalty for last week's breakthrough win at Southwell.

3rd (8) (40/1 -150%) Clasina

40/1(-150%)
(8) Clasina 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden who ran below previous form on first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when sixth of 14 in a novice at Southwell (7.1f, 33/1) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Improvement needed. Handicap debut; didn't show enough on stable debut to have compelling claims today.

25/1(-108%)
(1) Sparkling Red 25/1, Posted a good second at Doncaster in July but below form since. Continues to drop down weights but has had disappointing campaign; unraced over 7f.
5th

5th (10) (15/2 -36%) Noisy Music
7.5
15/2(-36%)
(10) Noisy Music 15/2, Improved when making a winning handicap/stable debut at Windsor in June and mostly creditable efforts since without advancing her form any further. Some good 6f runs this summer; pedigree provides optimism she'll stay 7f.
6th

6th (6) (11/1 +21%) Gentle Ellen
11
11/1(+21%)
(6) Gentle Ellen 11/1, Consistent sort who produced a rare below-par effort when beating only one home in 13-runner handicap at Redcar 13 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. Two good runs over C&D in July; could bounce back now back up in trip.
7th
3
7th (3) (11/2 +21%) Dazitoo
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(3) Dazitoo 11/2, Fair form first 2 starts and unsuited by drop in trip when third in 7-runner maiden at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last time. Will be suited by the step back up in trip on handicap debut, but her opening mark demands plenty more. Makes her handicap debut off a realistic mark and with her trainer in fine form.
8th

8th (2) (9/2 +50%) No Nay Nicki
4.5
9/2(+50%)
(2) No Nay Nicki 9/2, Produced one of her better efforts of the season when sixth of 17 in 7f handicap at York (good to firm) in July. Excuses at Pontefract last time (raced ride) and worthy of interest from a sliding mark. She's 8lb lower than for her last win last September but she's regressed this season.
9th

9th (7) (66/1 -371%) Ribble Radiant
66
66/1(-371%)
(7) Ribble Radiant 66/1, Edging down the weights and took a small step back in the right direction when sixth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Needs to build on that now. 3yo who took step back in right direction at Doncaster, but needs another today.
10th

10th (4) (12/1 +0%) Rapido Girl

12/1(+0%)
(4) Rapido Girl 12/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Catterick in June. Ran to a similar level on handicap debut at Doncaster but found her run of good form coming to a halt at Musselburgh last time. Well beaten at Musselburgh latest but retains potential in view of h'cap debut previously.
11th

11th (5) (13/2 +28%) Alreet Cha
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(5) Alreet Cha 13/2, Did all she could after 7 weeks off having undergone a breathing operation when fourth of 14 in a 7f handicap (12/1) at York (good to firm) in July. Seemed unsuited by the return to sprinting at Pontefract on most recent outing and remains of interest back up in trip. Below par last time and now 0-11, but case can be made on previous York fourth.
12th
11
12th (11) (12/1 0%) Oscar's Sister
12
12/1(0%)
(11) Oscar's Sister 12/1, C&D winner who ran below form when beating only 2 home in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Hard to fancy on majority of form but seems to like it here so not a forlorn hope.
16:55 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kristal Klear capitalised on a career-low mark at Southwell last week and if she can transfer that form to turf, she could have a say. However, a chance can be taken on DAZITOO, who has shown a decent amount of ability in her three starts in maiden/novice company and now makes her handicap debut. The booking of Tom Marquand catches the eye and she gets the nod. Kindest Nation is another to consider in a first-time visor.
KRISTAL KLEAR escapes a penalty for her recent win at Southwell, so is the percentage call to follow up. Alreet Cha seemed unsuited by the return to sprinting on her most recent outing and is worthy of interest back up in trip, with No Nay Nicki another to consider.
Preference is for the 3yo handicap newcomer DAZITOO, who represents the bang-in-form Ed Walker. Kristal Klear is a danger.
