1	2 1st (2) (1.2/1 +47%) Raqiya		1.2 1.2/1(+47%)																															(2) Raqiya 1.2/1, Displayed definite promise under hands-and-heels ride when fourth in a Newbury maiden (6f) in July and duly built on that when off the mark at Salisbury (6f) 4 weeks ago, controlling things from the front and drawing clear final 1f. Big shout under a penalty with more to come. Built on her promising debut when making no mistake at Salisbury (odds on).
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 -83%) Lunar Shine		11 11/1(-83%)																															(1) Lunar Shine 11/1, Well-related filly who finished with a flourish when getting off the mark in good style on debut at Thirsk (6f, soft) in June. Found Group 3 level too competitive when eighth of 10 in Princess Margaret at Ascot since but return to calmer waters will help here now. Looked good at Thirsk and raced far too freely in a Group 3 at Ascot.
3	3 3rd (3) (50/1 -52%) All Agleam		50 50/1(-52%)																															(3) All Agleam 50/1, Oasis Dream filly. Makes some appeal on paper but ultimately shaped as if needing debut experience when eighth of 10 in a Salisbury novice (6f) 4 weeks ago. In good hands and she rates a likely improver but she's likely best watched here. 14-1 at Salisbury (6f, good) and never really counted after starting slowly.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -65%) Oakland Princess		14 14/1(-65%)																															(9) Oakland Princess 14/1, Foaled April 18. 20,000 gns foal, €43,000 yearling, Dark Angel filly. Closely related to 6f winner Full Prime and half-sister to useful 6f winner Lady Dancealot. 43,000euros yearling; sixth foal; closely related to 6f AW winner Full Prime (RPR 77).
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +29%) Dream Whisper		5 5/1(+29%)																															(6) Dream Whisper 5/1, Exceed And Excel filly who showed ability without ever looking like justifying short odds when third of 7 in a Newmarket novice (7f) 2 weeks ago. Should improve for leading stable but plenty of ground to make up with re-opposing Lady Pagasa on that showing. Has 7l to find with Lady Pagasa but could be a different proposition back in trip.
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 -50%) Chaumet More		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Chaumet More 12/1, Foaled May 10. Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including winner up to 1¼m Halfway To Heaven, 5f/6f winner Tickled Pink and 6f winner Theann, all smart. Dam 5f-7f winner Makes obvious appeal on paper and yard can ready a newcomer. 16th foal of the top-class sprinter Cassandra Go who raced in these colours.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 -20%) Lady Pagasa		4 4/1(-20%)																															(8) Lady Pagasa 4/1, Dark Angel filly who showed plenty of ability when second on debut in a Newmarket novice (7f) 2 weeks ago, headed over 1f out but pulling clear of remainder. Looks sure to progress and sound claims of going one place better. Had Dream Whisper 7l behind when finishing runner-up at Newmarket.
8th	11 8th (11) (50/1 -52%) Treat Of Treats		50 50/1(-52%)																															(11) Treat Of Treats 50/1, Kodiac filly. Easy to back but was getting the hang of things late on when finishing 5 lengths fourth of 5 in a Ripon novice (6f) on debut 32 days ago. Entitled to do better but this looks a warm enough race 16-1 for a five-runner novice at Ripon (6f, soft) and 6f looked an inadequate test.
9th	4 9th (4) (22/1 +21%) Carpathian		22 22/1(+21%)																															(4) Carpathian 22/1, Foaled January 31. €170,000 foal, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam useful French 1m/9f winner out of winning half-sister to Prix de l'Opera winner We Are and Prix du Cadran winner Call The Wind. Wears hood for debut and the market may unearth some clues. The immediate fitting of a hood sets some alarm bells off but she has a good pedigree.
10th	10 10th (10) (20/1 -43%) Star Jameela		20 20/1(-43%)																															(10) Star Jameela 20/1, Foaled March 29. €150,000 yearling, Dark Angel filly. Sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Birchwood and useful 7f winner Leafhopper. Dam 7f winner. Plenty to like on paper and well worth noting if the betting speaks in her favour on racecourse bow. 150,000euros yearling who looks the part on paper; stable runs two.
11th	7 11th (7) (33/1 +0%) Elegant Appeal		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Elegant Appeal 33/1, Foaled March 20. 80,000 gns yearling, Oasis Dream filly. Closely related to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Walton Street and half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f winner Nelkan and 9f winner Macavity. Market should guide with yard also saddling Oakland Princess. 80,000gns yearling; tenth foal; closely related to 1m2f-1m4f winner Walton Street.

14:00 Haydock Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Lunar Shine failed to make an impact in the Princess Margaret at Ascot last time but she retains potential and must be respected down in class. Dream Whisper (third) finished behind Lady Pagasa (second) when the pair met on debut last month and both enter calculations with improvement on the cards, though a chance is taken on STAR JAMEELA. The 150,000-euro purchase is a sister to classy sprinter Birchwood, who won three of her first four starts as a juvenile (including the Group 2 Superlative Stakes).

LADY PAGASA showed plenty of ability when runner-up on debut in a Newmarket novice (7f) 2 weeks ago, headed entering final 1f but well clear of the remainder. Open to improvement, she'll cope with the this drop in trip and she gets the nod to go one place better. That said, Raqiya made little fuss of opening her account at Salisbury 4 weeks ago and rates a big threat, ahead of Dream Whisper. Star Jameela and Chaumet More are a couple of appealing newcomers to note.

Lady Pagasa can confirm HQ placings with Dream Whisper but LUNAR SHINE is taken to prove her Ascot form all wrong.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 +17%) Soul Seeker		5 5/1(+17%)																															(8) Soul Seeker 5/1, Consistent performer who has scored at York and Beverley over this trip in recent months and arrives on back of solid third at Catterick (5f). Player. Second in this last year and has won two competitive races this summer; contender.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +20%) Muker		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Muker 4/1, Back to form when second over C&D in July and went one better in 8-runner handicap (6/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) since. Must enter calculations despite a 6 lb higher mark. Two wins from last four starts and remains well treated on his useful juvenile form.
3	13 3rd (13) (5.5/1 +39%) Bayraat		5.5 5.5/1(+39%)																															(13) Bayraat 5.5/1, Acquitted himself well this summer, scoring at Nottingham (6.1f) in June and wasn't beaten far when good second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Not discounted on first crack at minimum trip. In good form over 6f of late and could be bang there once more on this first crack at 5f.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +20%) Sergeant Pep		8 8/1(+20%)																															(3) Sergeant Pep 8/1, Career best when scoring at Windsor (5.1f, good) last month and backed that up with creditable third of 6 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Likely contender. In good form the last twice since dropped back to 5f and he's entitled to respect.
5th	11 5th (11) (4.5/1 +55%) Mattice		4.5 4.5/1(+55%)																															(11) Mattice 4.5/1, Some respectable efforts in defeat this term but failed to beat a rival home at Windsor last time and makes limited appeal despite a tumbling mark. Soundly beaten the last twice but well treated on form as recent as July; not discounted.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +44%) Digital		10 10/1(+44%)																															(1) Digital 10/1, Useful performer at best who shaped as if better for run when 7½ lengths sixth of 8 to Muker in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Not ruled out. No return to form on stable debut but well treated and a market check is advised.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 +0%) Eeh Bah Gum		28 28/1(+0%)																															(7) Eeh Bah Gum 28/1, Made a winning stable debut in 5f handicap at Lingfield in July and not disgraced when fourth at Newmarket 20 days later. Needs to bounce back from poor effort at Windsor, though. Won this last year but well beaten at Windsor latest and has to leave that run well behind.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 -120%) Level Up		11 11/1(-120%)																															(5) Level Up 11/1, Made it 3 wins from last 4 starts when narrowly landing 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) 39 days ago. Visor back on. Looks sure to go well again. Four runs this July and three wins, all by a nose; can go well once more.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 -50%) Mereside Angel		18 18/1(-50%)																															(9) Mereside Angel 18/1, Back to winning ways at Ayr in June but been a mixed bag since, albeit he was hampered when sixth in Musselburgh handicap (5f, good) latest. Others more appealing. Won at Ayr in June and in the mix when squeezed out close home at Musselburgh last time.
10th	6 10th (6) (8.5/1 +39%) Riversway		8.5 8.5/1(+39%)																															(6) Riversway 8.5/1, C&D winner in June but well below that form twice since and is now tried in cheekpieces for first time. Down the field the last twice after C&D win; returns with first-time cheekpieces applied.
11th	10 11th (10) (66/1 -136%) Ultramarine		66 66/1(-136%)																															(10) Ultramarine 66/1, Still looking for first success and hasn't really threatened in either start this season. latest at Yarmouth in June. Plenty to prove on debut for new yard here. Useful 2yo in 2021 but seemingly nothing like the same force nowadays.
12th	12 12th (12) (100/1 -100%) Fox Island		100 100/1(-100%)																															(12) Fox Island 100/1, Fair fourth in fast-ground maidens at Leicester (6f) and Nottingham (1m) last summer but well held on sole start this term at Newbury in June and needs to find improvement on handicap debut. Well beaten on final run for Richard Hannon; probably best watched on stable/h'cap debut.

14:35 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SOUL SEEKER was defeated in the corresponding event 12 months ago by Eeh Bah Gum, but the former arrives in a good vein of form and is better off at the weights. David O'Meara's charge is fancied to get the better of Level Up, who has been steadily progressive this season. Recent Thirsk scorer Muker is another who must enter calculations, along with the Iain Jardine-trained Never Dark.

Preference is for the admirably consistent SOUL SEEKER, who remains feasibly treated and has the assistance of William Buick. Level Up and Never Dark head the list of dangers.

Last year's runner-up SOUL SEEKER has won two competitive handicaps in recent months and is the selection ahead of Muker.

1	5 1st (5) (6.5/1 +54%) Lingua Franca		6.5 6.5/1(+54%)																															(5) Lingua Franca 6.5/1, Study of Man filly offered something to work when fourth of 12 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) on debut 42 days ago. Likely improver, though maybe more a long-term prospect than some of the newcomers. Well-bred filly who is open to improvement on second start, but may need even further.
2	1 2nd (1) (12/1 -50%) Bolsena		12 12/1(-50%)																															(1) Bolsena 12/1, Foaled March 31. Kingman filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including 1m winner Triple Time, ungenuine 7f-1m winner Ostilio and winner up to 1m Cape Byron, all very smart. Bred to be above average and merits plenty of respect. Half-sister to numerous winners including connections' Triple Time; has to be respected.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 +23%) Eranthis		5 5/1(+23%)																															(3) Eranthis 5/1, Foaled March 31. 350,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to useful German 7f winner Libre. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Oracle, third in Irish 2000 Guineas. Newcomer is in very good hands so merits consideration. 350,000gns yearling; from prolific 2yo stable and could go well on debut; watch betting.
4	2 4th (2) (0.91/1 +24%) Dazzling Jewel		0.91 0.91/1(+24%)																															(2) Dazzling Jewel 0.91/1, Foaled March 9. Dubawi filly out of a Cheveley Park-winning mark. Sister to smart 1m/9f winner Highland Avenue and half-sister to useful 1m winner Silver Lady. Lots to like about her on paper. Related to two talented winners for powerful stable; likely player on debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 +36%) Laura Bay		16 16/1(+36%)																															(4) Laura Bay 16/1, Foaled April 24. New Bay filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Havre de Paix and 11.5f-2m winner Corpus Chorister. Dam lightly raced. Bred to be useful but pedigree suggests she might do better in time. Potential in pedigree; likely to improve for this debut run but she's not ruled out.
6th	6 6th (6) (5.5/1 -120%) Simple Endeavour		5.5 5.5/1(-120%)																															(6) Simple Endeavour 5.5/1, Foaled January 14. 800,000 gns yearling, Dubawi filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (including St James's Palace Stakes) Barney Roy. Highly respected on debut. 800,000gns yearling; makes debut with trainer's 2yos going nicely.

15:10 Haydock Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Charlie Appleby may not be hitting the heights of previous years but his juveniles are still running well and he appears to have found the unraced DAZZLING JEWEL a nice opportunity to open her account. Any support behind the well-bred Bolsena, who is a half-sister to the Group 1-winning Triple Time, should be noted. Another debutant to note is the Andrew Balding-trained Simple Endeavour, who is a daughter of Dubawi and was an 800,000gns purchase last year.

A novice event featuring some regally-bred newcomers, with slight preference for Godolphin's DAZZLING JEWEL, whose dam won in Group 1 company as a juvenile. Bolsena is from a top family that the yard have had plenty of success with and she's another with plenty to recommend on paper, whilst Simple Endeavour cost 800,000gns and is from the family of Barney Roy, so also looks a potentially-smart debutant.

Andrew Balding's 2yos have been running well of late and 800,000gns yearling SIMPLE ENDEAVOUR is taken to make a winning debut.

1	2 1st (2) (8/1 -23%) Street Kid		8 8/1(-23%)																															(2) Street Kid 8/1, Raced largely on the AW but he posted a good second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Enters calculations. Close second at Sandown last month; back on faster ground here but he's not ruled out.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Persuasion		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Persuasion 3/1, Back to winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago. This C&D winner is well in the mix under a 5 lb penalty. Snapped lengthy losing run at Thirsk last Friday in good style; has to be respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 -10%) Canoodled		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(4) Canoodled 5.5/1, Bounced back to form with success in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Up 7 lb and needs to follow it up now. Convincing win at Newmarket last month; a 7lb rise may not stop her if she backs it up.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +50%) Diamondonthehill		5 5/1(+50%)																															(3) Diamondonthehill 5/1, Scored at Yarmouth in June. Creditable fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good) 11 days ago so can give another good account. Running well over 1m and may benefit from this drop back in trip; he's one to consider.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 -13%) Riot		9 9/1(-13%)																															(9) Riot 9/1, Bagged his second success of 2023 at Doncaster in July and has continued in good form, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 15 days ago when not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix. Two wins this season and things haven't really gone his way the last twice.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +53%) Metabolt		4 4/1(+53%)																															(5) Metabolt 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Windsor in June. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. This C&D winner needs considering. Good efforts over C&D this season and solid third at Newbury latest; cheekpieces go on.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +25%) Siam Fox		12 12/1(+25%)																															(7) Siam Fox 12/1, Scored at Yarmouth in May. Returned to form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Shortlisted. Respectable fourth on AW a fortnight ago but needs something extra in this warmer race.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 +30%) Manigordo		28 28/1(+30%)																															(8) Manigordo 28/1, A winner at Beverley in June but he arrives below par, only fourth of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won at Beverley in June but his form has gone the wrong way more recently.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 -100%) Equiano Springs		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Equiano Springs 40/1, Added to his good Newmarket record when winning 6f handicap there in July. Below form sixth there last time but the sort to bounce back. Fair fourth over C&D in May but the Newmarket tracks bring out the best in this 9yo.
10th	10 10th (10) (25/1 -39%) Ugo Gregory		25 25/1(-39%)																															(10) Ugo Gregory 25/1, C&D winner in August. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Not discounted. Below par last time but has twice made all this summer (including C&D); not written off.

15:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Persuasion is likely to prove popular after his two-and-a-half-length success at Thirsk last week and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the six-year-old. Nevertheless, CANOODLED created a deeper impression when triumphant at Newmarket last month, with Ed Walker's mare fancied to overcome a 7lb rise in the ratings. Street Kid ran one of his better races when runner-up at Sandown in early August and may have a say in the finish too.

Lots with chances but PRAIRIE FALCON is taken to build on his promising recent Thirsk third and get off the mark for the season here. C&D winner Persuasion is feared most under a 5 lb penalty for his Thirsk victory, although Street Kid, Metabolt and Siam Fox need factoring in too.

The Michael Dods-trained DIAMONDONTHEHILL (nap) has been better than ever and is the pick ahead of stablemate Prairie Falcon.

1	1 1st (1) (2.25/1 -63%) Red Maids		2.25 2.25/1(-63%)																															(1) Red Maids 2.25/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (10/3) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 12 days ago, readily. Capable of defying the penalty if she's in the same mood. From off the pace she won comfortably at Yarmouth; could defy the penalty.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 +13%) Hoof It Hoof It		14 14/1(+13%)																															(7) Hoof It Hoof It 14/1, Has dropped markedly in the weights and latest fourth at Thirsk was a step back in the right direction, so she's no forlorn hope in a first-time tongue strap. Best run for a while when fourth at Thirsk and wasn't helped by her track position.
3	8 3rd (8) (22/1 -120%) Reve De Magritte		22 22/1(-120%)																															(8) Reve De Magritte 22/1, Fair form at best but well below form on both outings for current yard, leaving her with a bit to prove. French win came at 1m and has found sprinting against her in two runs for this yard.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Fools And Horses		3.5 3.5/1(+13%)																															(2) Fools And Horses 3.5/1, Made a low-key return/handicap debut at Haydock in April but has run well on both outings since, particularly when runner-up at Newmarket last time. Still going the right way and should make presence felt. Finding her level after chasing home an in-form rival over this far at Newmarket.
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 +63%) Alseeyerthere		4.5 4.5/1(+63%)																															(5) Alseeyerthere 4.5/1, Related to winners and built on her reappearance run to open her account at Redcar (7f) in June. Creditable third from an 8 lb higher mark at Doncaster next time and might have needed the run after a short break there recently. Below par last time but her previous two efforts bring her right into the reckoning.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/1 -10%) Rhubarb		11 11/1(-10%)																															(9) Rhubarb 11/1, On a handy mark and, while it's a good while since her last win, she was a bit better than the result when sixth at Windsor 4 days ago. Could feature if the race doesn't come too soon. Looked unlucky at Windsor on Monday but it's a long time since she went further than 6f.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 +21%) Biplane		11 11/1(+21%)																															(3) Biplane 11/1, Won at Newcastle (1m) in May and went in again over 7f at Redcar the following month. Shaped as if still in form at Thirsk since, so worthy of respect returning from a two-month break. Reportedly ran flat last time at Redcar and might be better for a break.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +0%) Snow Girl		16 16/1(+0%)																															(6) Snow Girl 16/1, Fair form for Kevin Ryan last season, not seen to best effect on her final outing. Not seen for 11 months since, however, so hard to know how much ability she retains on debut for new stable. 0-7 for Kevin Ryan but three places included a nursery off 2lb higher than today.
9th	4 9th (4) (8.5/1 +6%) Eponina		8.5 8.5/1(+6%)																															(4) Eponina 8.5/1, Nottingham winner in June who was back to form returning to a more suitable distance when fourth at Newmarket last time. She's vulnerable to less-exposed types, though. Front-runner who has won ten times in all and ran a solid race last time at Newmarket.

16:20 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

RED MAIDS justified favouritism when landing a breakthrough success at Yarmouth recently and won with enough in hand that day to suggest that a 6lb penalty isn't insurmountable. The daughter of Invincible Spirit should take all of the beating if coping with a quick turnaround. Fools And Horses, who is only 1lb higher than last month's runner-up effort at Newmarket, is also noted along with Biplane and Alseeyerthere.

RED MAIDS swept through to score in decisive fashion at Yarmouth and she's up to defying a penalty if the race doesn't come too soon. Fools And Horses also arrives on the up and appeals as the main threat ahead of Biplane.

Red Maids is much respected but FOOLS AND HORSES is another likely contender with her mildly progressive profile.

Beaten a fair way last time but she needs a second look now handicapping over this new trip (dam stayed 14.4f) and with William Buick in the hot-seat. Fair form at 1m4f; up in trip for handicap debut with William Buick booked.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 +0%) Alshadhian		7 7/1(+0%)																															(9) Alshadhian 7/1, Showed ability in maiden/novice company but failed to raise his game when pitched into a handicap on AW debut at Lingfield (1½m). Though it's entirely possible that this stiffer test will aid his cause, one or two of these boast more compelling claims. The step up to 1m6f could suit this low-mileage 3yo from an in-form stable.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 +11%) Double Oban		4 4/1(+11%)																															(8) Double Oban 4/1, Opened his account in a novice event at Leicester (11.8f, firm) in May and best effort since when finding just one too good returned to this trip at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago. Very much one to consider back on turf off an unchanged mark. Proved himself at 1m6f when second on AW latest; unlikely to be far away.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 +17%) C'mon Kenny		5 5/1(+17%)																															(4) C'mon Kenny 5/1, Last-gasp winner at Pontefract in June but below form since, finishing nearer last than first upped to 2m at Nottingham last time. Capable of a bold show off this mark if he were to put his best foot forward but others are more appealing all the same. Better than ever when winning at Pontefract in June but below par in his three runs since.
5th	5 5th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Cool Party		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(5) Cool Party 6.5/1, Winner of 8.6f Wolverhampton novice on sole 2-y-o start and while it's fair to say that he hasn't kicked on so far in 2023, he's now 9 lb lower compared to the start of the campaign and this will be just his second go at this trip. Not discounted. Dual winner at 2 but little to get too excited about in handicaps this season.
6th	2 6th (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Alpine Stroll		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(2) Alpine Stroll 5.5/1, Successful twice in Nottingham handicaps at up to 2m last season. Yet to get his head in front this time round but hit the crossbar twice in June (in higher-grade handicaps than this) and, if forgiven his latest below par display at Sandown, he would have to have a chance back in 0-75 company. Runner-up twice over 1m6f on good to firm in June but below par last time.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 +22%) Can Can Girl		7 7/1(+22%)																															(7) Can Can Girl 7/1, Hasn't tasted success since scoring on 2022 reappearance but she's now 5 lb below that winning mark and has performed with credit on all 4 starts for new yard this season. Trip/ground fine and she should make her presence felt. Placed on all four starts for new yard this year, third over this trip at Redcar latest.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -100%) Caldwell		22 22/1(-100%)																															(1) Caldwell 22/1, Hurdles winner who opened his account on the Flat at Kempton (2m) last spring and followed that with a series of creditable efforts in defeat. However, below par so far this year (in this sphere and over hurdles) and needs to get back on track now tried in a tongue strap (cheekpieces also refitted). AW Flat win last year but hard to get too excited by recent hurdle/Flat efforts.

16:55 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

The majority of these appear to be on stiff enough marks, with CAN CAN GIRL looking the most solid proposition. Tim Easterby's mare has posted several creditable efforts in defeat of late and a similar level of performance may prove good enough to succeed in this contest. Alshadhian and Double Oban lurk at the foot of the weights and should keep the selection honest. The former could improve now upped to 1m6f and is feared most.

Easy enough to make cases for the majority of these and the suggestion is ALPINE STROLL, who has done most of his racing at a slightly higher level this season and will have a serious chance if bouncing back from a low-key display at Sandown. Can Can Girl has been threatening to come good for her new yard and is feared most, while Sharp Distinction remains of interest. Double Oban needs considering, too, on the back of a solid effort on the all-weather.

Ralph Beckett's ALSHADHIAN failed to justify favouritism on his 1m4f AW handicap debut but might be worth another chance back on turf.

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.
