1	2 1st (2) (2.5/1 +0%) Naqeeb		2.5 2.5/1(+0%)																															(2) Naqeeb 2.5/1, Superbly-bred colt (closely related to top-class pair Baaeed and Hukum). Edged out late on by subsequent Melrose winner Middle Earth on third start at Newmarket (12f) in July and duly went one place better when routing 8 rivals at Kempton (12f) 17 days ago. Has to be of interest now handicapping. Has an illustrious pedigree and his novice form reads very well; could play a leading role.
2	8 2nd (8) (7.5/1 +0%) Blindedbythelights		7.5 7.5/1(+0%)																															(8) Blindedbythelights 7.5/1, Typical improving staying handicapper for this yard who doubled his tally at Newbury (12f) in June and looked in control before going markedly right final furlong when second at Ffos Las (12f, soft) 2 weeks ago. This understandably tougher but unlikely he's finished improving. Improvement needed from out of the weights but could have plenty more left in the tank.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Denmark		2.25 2.25/1(+18%)																															(1) Denmark 2.25/1, Lightly raced following debut maiden success at Naas (1m) 13 months ago and produced his best effort yet (blinkered) when finishing clear second to Middle Earth in last month's Melrose Handicap (13.8f) at York. Has to enter the reckoning from 5 lb higher mark on that evidence. Strong form when runner-up in the Melrose and could have more to offer for top Irish yard.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -29%) French Invasion		18 18/1(-29%)																															(7) French Invasion 18/1, Taking winner on debut at Kempton in January before following up under a penalty at Lingfield a month later. Never fired first 2 starts on turf this summer but right back on track when second at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Certainly has the physique for better still. Up in trip. 1m4f runner-up last time and pedigree provides hope he'll improve for the step up in trip.
5th	4 5th (4) (2.75/1 +45%) Lordship		2.75 2.75/1(+45%)																															(4) Lordship 2.75/1, Progressed at a rate of knots in middle distance handicaps this summer, completing quick-fire hat-trick (all under this rider) over C&D in July. Winning run ended when fourth in the Melrose at York since but emerged with credit given he missed the break. Beaten 5l when fourth in the Melrose at York but it was still a solid run in a hot race.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -21%) Edge Of Darkness		40 40/1(-21%)																															(6) Edge Of Darkness 40/1, Typical improving 3-y-o for this yard, posting a career-best effort when completing hat-trick of handicap victories at Newmarket (12f) on penultimate start last month. Struggled up in class in the Melrose (13.8f) latest and he needs to pull out more to come out on top here. Completed hat-trick last month but down the field in the Melrose at York last time.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 +0%) Davideo		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Davideo 16/1, Crucially settled better than he did at Royal Ascot when seeing off a next-time-out winner at Newmarket (12f) in July. Trailed in last of 13 in the Melrose at York subsequently though, and he'll need to leave that well behind to feature. Two wins this year but it's hard to be confident following his heavy defeat in the Melrose.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Naqeeb had little more than an exercise canter when duly landing the odds at Kempton last month but an opening mark of 100 could leave him vulnerable to Aidan O'Brien's DENMARK. The son of Camelot still holds St Leger and Melbourne Cup entries and showed himself to be potentially smart when a fine runner-up on his initial attempt at this trip in the Melrose at York recently following a four month break. Several of his rivals take him on again, with Davideo, who ran no sort of race, and Lordship appealing most of the remainder.

The impeccably bred NAQEEB wasn't extended when bolting up at Kempton 17 days ago and, with his overall form reading very well (runner-up behind Middle Earth on penultimate start) he's fancied to make a bold bid now his sights are set on handicaps/upped in trip. Denmark and Lordship, who both made the frame in the highly-competitive Melrose Handicap at York 2 weeks ago, are others expected to play lead roles.

Melrose runner-up Denmark has leading claims but NAQEEB has shown strong form in novice races and gets the nod on handicap debut.

1	9 1st (9) (10/1 -33%) Post Impressionist		10 10/1(-33%)																															(9) Post Impressionist 10/1, Dual winner in 2022 who got back on track when ninth of 22 in Ebor at York 14 days ago. Needs considering off a 2 lb lower mark. Not beaten far in ninth in the Ebor and he may be able to build on that.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 -20%) Caius Chorister		6 6/1(-20%)																															(4) Caius Chorister 6/1, Rapid improver in handicaps last year, winning 5 in a row. Has yet to score this term but comes here on the back of a good sixth of 22 in Ebor at York 14 days ago. Possibilities. Did well to finish sixth in the Ebor having been short of room and she's one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (50/1 -25%) Enemy		50 50/1(-25%)																															(1) Enemy 50/1, Smart gelding who was better than ever in the Middle East at the start of the year but well held in 4 starts back in Britain this summer. Arrives with something to prove. Smart form in 2022 and early 2023 but has gone off the boil more recently.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +13%) Tritonic		14 14/1(+13%)																															(2) Tritonic 14/1, Not proving the easiest to catch right of late, only fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Goodwood (20.4f, soft) 36 days ago. Others more persuasive. Fine third at Royal Ascot and soft ground excuses heavy Goodwood defeat; not ruled out.
5th	12 5th (12) (18/1 +18%) Nolton Cross		18 18/1(+18%)																															(12) Nolton Cross 18/1, Three AW wins earlier in the year and has shown he's as effective on turf with creditable efforts in competitive handicaps in recent weeks, sixth at Ascot latest. Not out of things. Well beaten at Ascot latest but back on better ground here and he's on a handy mark.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 +25%) Mr Curiosity		12 12/1(+25%)																															(10) Mr Curiosity 12/1, Back to winning ways at Ripon in July and in good form since, fourth of 14 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Not dismissed. His recent fourth at York can perhaps be upgraded and he could be in the shake-up.
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 -57%) Get Shirty		22 22/1(-57%)																															(3) Get Shirty 22/1, Had excellent 2022, with wins in Copper Horse at Royal Ascot and Old Newton Cup here. Has yet to hit top form in Britain this term though so others are preferred. Below par in Britain this year but well treated, and signs of encouragement last time.
8th	11 8th (11) (7.5/1 -7%) Forza Orta		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(11) Forza Orta 7.5/1, Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago by neck from Aztec Empire, always holding on. Up 4 lb but he ought to be in the shake-up. Won when upped to 2m at York last time, but that course brings out the best in him.
9th	13 9th (13) (33/1 -32%) Haliphon		33 33/1(-32%)																															(13) Haliphon 33/1, Yet to score this term and he came in only eleventh of 14 to Forza Orta in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not ruled out back in trip now though. Well treated on last summer's form but just one bright run this term (two starts ago).
10th	6 10th (6) (7.5/1 +6%) Adjuvant		7.5 7.5/1(+6%)																															(6) Adjuvant 7.5/1, Consistent sort who won at Newmarket (1¾m) in May. Rare below-par run when thirteenth of 22 in Ebor at York 14 days ago and no surprise to see him get back on track. Merely mid-division in the Ebor but progressive previously and he's not written off.
11th	7 11th (7) (4.5/1 +55%) Sea King		4.5 4.5/1(+55%)																															(7) Sea King 4.5/1, Lightly raced 4-y-o who comes here on the back of a career-best win in 4-runner handicap at Goodwood (12f, soft) 13 days ago, always holding on. One for the shortlist. Made all at Goodwood recently; tougher assignment here but could still have more to offer.
12th	5 12th (5) (12/1 +0%) Euchen Glen		12 12/1(+0%)																															(5) Euchen Glen 12/1, Several big wins in his long career, including in this event in 2020. Posted another solid effort when fourth of 22 in Ebor at York last time so needs considering. 10yo who is on a long losing run but was a creditable fourth in the Ebor a fortnight ago.
13th	14 13th (14) (40/1 -21%) La Pulga		40 40/1(-21%)																															(14) La Pulga 40/1, All-the-way winner at Hamilton in June but he's been below that form on his last 3 starts, racing wide though when tenth of 14 to Forza Orta at York (2m) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Appeared beaten when hampered at York last time and others are preferred.
14th	8 14th (8) (4/1 +11%) Aztec Empire		4 4/1(+11%)																															(8) Aztec Empire 4/1, Pair of all-weather wins at up to 2m at Kempton this winter and has continued on the up on turf, neck second of 14 to Forza Orta at York (2m) 17 days ago despite not enjoying a clear run. Player despite a 3 lb rise. May well have won at York granted a clear run and this progressive 4yo is on the shortlist.

15:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Competitive stuff and it's not hard to make a case for last-time-out winners Sea King and Forza Orta, despite picking up rises of 3lb and 4lb respectively. The admirably consistent Aztec Empire also has to be considered after a string of near-misses but, if there is any value, it may lie with the feasibly-treated CAIUS CHORISTER who caught the eye in defeat when sixth in the Ebor a fortnight ago when desperately short of room at a crucial stage.

AZTEC EMPIRE has yet to score on turf but ran a cracker when just edged out by Forza Orta at York last time having suffered a troubled passage and can reverse the placings on 1 lb better terms. Kevin Ryan's 5-y-o is also at the top of his game and feared most, although a solid case can also be made for Sea King, Caius Chorister and Nolton Cross in a highly competitive Old Borough Cup.

The filly CAIUS CHORISTER (nap) did very well to finish 6th in the Ebor having suffered trouble in running & remains unexposed at 1m6f.

1	4 1st (4) (10/1 +17%) Regional		10 10/1(+17%)																															(4) Regional 10/1, Lightly raced 5-y-o who has raised his game this season, landing a York handicap and listed race here (both at 5f) prior to finishing a creditable fifth in the Nunthorpe. Return to this trip is unlikely to pose a problem and he's in with an each-way squeak. Solid fifth in the Nunthorpe; return to 6f and this track could prompt something extra.
2	12 2nd (12) (50/1 +0%) Shouldvebeenaring		50 50/1(+0%)																															(12) Shouldvebeenaring 50/1, Talented colt who was a good second in the C&D Sandy Lane Stakes in May. Has failed to match that level of form in 4 subsequent starts, though, and he was almost 7 lengths adrift of Shaquille at Royal Ascot. Runner-up in Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes over C&D in May but hasn't gone on from there.
3	15 3rd (15) (66/1 -200%) Believing		66 66/1(-200%)																															(15) Believing 66/1, Useful filly who got back on track following a blip in France when arriving late on the scene to land a listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) last month. Won with a bit more in hand than the margin of victory would imply that day but this is a much tougher assignment. This is a rise in grade but she's a 3yo on the up and she may well have more to offer.
4	17 4th (17) (14/1 +44%) Swingalong		14 14/1(+44%)																															(17) Swingalong 14/1, Group 2 winner as a juvenile and put in a fine shift when third to Shaquille in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) in June. Back on the scoresheet at a lower level at York last time but likely to find a few too good here. 3yo filly who made all in Group 3 at York in July but others have superior form.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 +28%) Khaadem		18 18/1(+28%)																															(3) Khaadem 18/1, Improved when scoring twice in Group company last year and produced a clear career-best when edging out Sacred in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. However, put in his place both subsequent starts and similar scenario likely here. Shock 80-1 winner at Royal Ascot; that may prove to be a one-off but he's not ruled out.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/1 +11%) Mill Stream		8 8/1(+11%)																															(9) Mill Stream 8/1, Well held in the C&D Sandy Lane Stakes on return in May but hasn't looked back since, successful in listed and Group 3 company (both over 6f on slow ground at Deauville) the last twice. This is more demanding but he's clearly on the up and is well worth his place in this line-up. Smooth wins in French Group 3/Listed races and this 3yo is clearly progressive.
7th	1 7th (1) (66/1 +18%) Annaf		66 66/1(+18%)																															(1) Annaf 66/1, Smart performer on the AW, completing 6f hat-trick in listed company at Lingfield in February. Ran his best race on turf when third in King's Stand at Royal Ascot but he had no excuses behind Lezoo at Newmarket last time and has a mountain to climb here. Below par the last twice but strong pace in big field should bring out the best in him.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -100%) Garrus		80 80/1(-100%)																															(2) Garrus 80/1, Smart gelding who took the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) on second start this year. Runner-up in French Group 3s the last twice, latterly chasing home Mill Stream at Deauville, but he's 0-6 at the highest level and likely to come up short once more. Three-time Group 3 winner but his limitations are likely to be exposed here.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -186%) Saint Lawrence		40 40/1(-186%)																															(7) Saint Lawrence 40/1, Snapped a long losing run with blinkers refitted when accounting for 26 rivals in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot. Close third in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville (6.5f, soft) since, just behind Spycatcher, and a reproduction of that would put him in the picture. Deserves extra credit for Group 1 third in France latest and he's an interesting contender.
10th	5 10th (5) (33/1 +0%) Rohaan		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) Rohaan 33/1, Smart on his day and was a fine third in this race last year prior to landing a Group 3 at Ascot. Hasn't hit the same heights this time round, though, and it would be something of a surprise were he to resume winning ways in this contest. Good third in this 12 months ago but he's hard to fancy on this year's evidence.
11th	6 11th (6) (18/1 -13%) Run To Freedom		18 18/1(-13%)																															(6) Run To Freedom 18/1, Took a sizeable step forward when runner-up in the British Champions Sprint at Ascot on final start of 2022. Performed to a similar level when second to Shaquille at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) last time, despite looking less than straightforward, and he's a live each-way candidate. Runner-up in two Group 1s, the latest behind Shaquille in the July Cup; each-way contender.
12th	16 12th (16) (14/1 +13%) Lezoo		14 14/1(+13%)																															(16) Lezoo 14/1, Won 4 of her 5 starts at 2 yrs, signing off with victory in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket. Viable excuses for defeats on first 2 starts of present campaign and back on track with a listed success returned to Newmarket (6f, good) a fortnight ago. Place possibilities. Group 1-winning 2yo who got back on track with Listed win at Newmarket a fortnight ago.
13th	10 13th (10) (50/1 +38%) Rumstar		50 50/1(+38%)																															(10) Rumstar 50/1, Progressive 2-y-o last term, culminating in a Group 3 success over 5f at Newmarket. Best effort so far this season when fifth of 13 to Shaquille in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot but it's hard to envisage him turning the tables on that rival here. Respectable fifth to Shaquille at Royal Ascot but has something to find today.
14th	13 14th (13) (50/1 +0%) The Antarctic		50 50/1(+0%)																															(13) The Antarctic 50/1, Didn't do much wrong at 2 yrs and built on reappearance effort when making all in a big-field Naas Group 3 (6f, good to firm) in May. However, he was out with the washing in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot the following month and has been absent since. Group 3 win in May; better than he showed at Royal Ascot but others are more compelling.
15th	14 15th (14) (4.5/1 +50%) Sacred		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(14) Sacred 4.5/1, Smart mare who made winning return in a Group 3 at Lingfield in May before going down narrowly to Khaadem in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee at Royal Ascot. Not in the same form back from a short break over 7f at York recently but capable of a bold show if responding well to first-time cheekpieces. Went close in Group 1 Jubilee at Royal Ascot and could bounce back from lesser York run.
16th	11 16th (11) (1.1/1 +12%) Shaquille		1.1 1.1/1(+12%)																															(11) Shaquille 1.1/1, Has quickly developed into a very classy sprinter, producing a remarkable performance in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot before following up in the July Cup at Newmarket, despite again forfeiting ground at the start. 6-6 at this trip and he's hard to oppose. Group 1 wins the last twice despite rearing at the start and he's the one to beat.

15:35 Haydock Group 1 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SHAQUILLE has been scintillating to watch this year and he has recorded his Group 1 successes in taking fashion after missing the break on both occasions. The son of Charm Spirit is still improving and if he can behave himself a bit better in the stalls, he will prove very tough to beat once more. Spycatcher had Saint Lawrence (third) and Rohaan (seventh) behind when only beaten by a short head in the Prix Maurice de Gheest and he needs considering as he continues to progress.

A Group 1 hat-trick beckons for SHAQUILLE, who has come a long way in a relatively short space of time and his big-race victories at Royal Ascot and Newmarket were all the more meritorious given his antics at the start. He appears to be versatile both ground and tactics-wise and there could easily be more to come from this colt. The progressive Mill Stream gets the nod ahead of Spycatcher, Saint Lawrence and Sacred for forecast purposes.

One of SHAQUILLE's slow starts may prove costly one day but he is taken to land a Group 1 hat-trick.

Fine 6yo; should give it his all again; going back up 6lb for latest G2 3rd asks for more.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +57%) Tees Spirit		12 12/1(+57%)																															(3) Tees Spirit 12/1, Much improved last season, scoring 5 times, but is yet to fire this term albeit he was out of his depth in Nunthorpe last time. Others preferred. Had bumper year in 2022 but it's been tough work this time round; handicapper relenting.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -10%) Arecibo		11 11/1(-10%)																															(5) Arecibo 11/1, Acquitted himself well in defeat on several occasions this year, latest when 2½ lengths third of 13 to Alligator Alley in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Others more appealing for win purposes, though. Another solid effort when 3rd to Alligator Alley at Newcastle last week; needs more here.
4	4 4th (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Jm Jungle		3.33 3.33/1(+17%)																															(4) Jm Jungle 3.33/1, 3-y-o who is enjoying a cracking season, shaping well on a few occasions before scoring over C&D and Glorious Goodwood in recent months. Better than ever when third of 20 in York handicap (5.4f) latest and looks sure to go well again. Improving rapidly and latest 3rd at York came from a poor draw; C&D winner; lots to like.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -40%) Democracy Dilemma		14 14/1(-40%)																															(6) Democracy Dilemma 14/1, Upped his game this year, winning 3 handicaps over this sort of trip. Below-form sixth of 11 at Goodwood last month but likely wasn't seen to best effect and merits consideration here. Speedy 3yo; only 6th behind Jm Jungle at Goodwood last time and others look stronger.
6th	10 6th (10) (6.5/1 +54%) Ventura Express		6.5 6.5/1(+54%)																															(10) Ventura Express 6.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in May and largely performed well in defeat since. However, needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at York and claims not aided by being 2 lb out of the handicap. York second in July was a fine run but he's not progressed since; others appeal more.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +13%) Mondammej		14 14/1(+13%)																															(7) Mondammej 14/1, Useful gelding but is on a lengthy losing run and has been below form in recent outings. Won this race in 2021; mixed bag this year but down in weights & return here can help.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -100%) Lihou		20 20/1(-100%)																															(9) Lihou 20/1, Bounced back to form when landing 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up 4 lb but he can give another good account. Five wins this year, including comfortably last time, but this looks too competitive.
9th	2 9th (2) (6.5/1 -44%) Alligator Alley		6.5 6.5/1(-44%)																															(2) Alligator Alley 6.5/1, Built on good second at York (5.4f) when taking 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago, running on. Remains fairly treated on old form and is one for shortlist. Good York 2nd followed by emphatic AW win; back up 5lb but needs serious consideration.
10th	8 10th (8) (10/1 -33%) Harry Brown		10 10/1(-33%)																															(8) Harry Brown 10/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year and ran respectably, from 4 lb out of the weights, when eighth of 15 in handicap at Ascot (5f, soft) 56 days ago. Not out of things. 0-6 on turf but he's had excuses in good races this year; still has time to do better.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -133%) Copper Knight		28 28/1(-133%)																															(12) Copper Knight 28/1, Won back-to-back handicaps over this trip in July and returned to form when creditable fifth of 20 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago. Will find this tougher from 4 lb out of the weights, though. Marvellous servant who ran another big race at York last month; 4lb out of the weights now.
12th	11 12th (11) (16/1 -14%) Look Out Louis		16 16/1(-14%)																															(11) Look Out Louis 16/1, Had a productive 2022, winning 4 times (including this event from 9 lb higher), but has barely threatened this year and is now tried in first-time visor. 2 lb out of the handicap. Stormed clear from 2f out in this race in 2022 but it's been a struggle in 2023; new visor.

16:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Jm Jungle continued his fine form this season when third at York's Ebor meeting and he is likely to enter calculations once again. However, the vote goes to RAASEL, who put in a very pleasing display to finish third in the King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and he could be up to defying top-weight on his return to handicap company. Last-time-out victor Lihou is another to watch out for.

JM JUNGLE is very much a sprinter in form and arrives on the back of a career-best effort at York. He can land his third victory of the season. Alligator Alley and Lihou head the list of dangers.

Harry Brown will get the rub of the green one day but JM JUNGLE is tough, progressive and unlucky not to be chasing a four-timer.

1	1 1st (1) (2.75/1 +8%) Al Musmak		2.75 2.75/1(+8%)																															(1) Al Musmak 2.75/1, Did well to catch an experienced rival to make a successful start at Ascot in July and built on that promise when second in listed event there (7f) last time. Will stay 1m and open to further improvement. Both runs over 7f at Ascot, winning on debut then second in Listed; leading claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.5/1 +0%) Macduff		1.5 1.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Macduff 1.5/1, Sea The Stars colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning start in 7f maiden at Newmarket 29 days ago, quickening to lead close home. Type to make above-average improvement. Looked good prospect when overcoming greenness to win on debut; potential for lot better.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +25%) Remaadd		3 3/1(+25%)																															(5) Remaadd 3/1, Confirmed debut promise in spades when winning 8-runner maiden at Goodwood (8f, soft) 13 days ago, plenty in hand. Will go on improving. Built on 7f course debut second when winning easily at Goodwood (1m); capable of better.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 -18%) Portland		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(4) Portland 6.5/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark on nursery debut at Galway in August and ran at least as well in defeat when third of 5 in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Should stay 1m. Useful sort who was third in 7f Group 2 at the Curragh latest; 1m should suit; thereabouts.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -52%) Marcella		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Marcella 50/1, Left debut form well behind to win 5-runner minor event (18/1) at Chester (7f, heavy) 34 days ago, suited by longer trip. This demands plenty more, though. Left debut well behind when winning over 7f on soft at Chester; fair bit more required.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -120%) Hot Fuss		22 22/1(-120%)																															(2) Hot Fuss 22/1, Capitalised on return to calmer waters when successful in a Salisbury novice (7f) in July and ran about as well as could be expected back up in grade in the Acomb Stakes at York subsequently. Quite useful but limitations have already seemingly been exposed.

16:45 Haydock Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

AL MUSMAK found only the impressive Rosallion too strong in the Pat Eddery Stakes at Ascot in late-July and the Night Of Thunder colt could gain compensation with a similar performance. Macduff overcame greenness when winning on his debut at Newmarket last month and could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, with improvement looking likely. Remaadd and Portland have shown enough to suggest that they can have a say in proceedings too.

MACDUFF got the idea just in the nick of time on his Newmarket debut and is expected to leave the bare form well behind now stepping up in grade, so is narrowly preferred to Al Musmak, who posted an excellent effort at this level at Ascot in July, which is supported by the timefigure. Remaadd got off the mark with loads in hand at Goodwood recently and can't be taken lightly, either.

The best form is AL MUSMAK's Ascot Listed second so he gets the nod with further progress a distinct possibility.

1	5 1st (5) (2.25/1 +44%) Pearl Eye		2.25 2.25/1(+44%)																															(5) Pearl Eye 2.25/1, Won twice here this season and recorded third success of campaign at Beverley 2 weeks ago, all out. Most likeable type who will continue to give a good account. Dual C&D winner this summer; went in again at Beverley latest; should go well again.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -100%) Zozimus		14 14/1(-100%)																															(1) Zozimus 14/1, Useful at best in Ireland. Not at that level so far this year for current connections having missed the whole of 2022, but best effort of the season off reduced mark when second at Beverley last week, unlucky not to finish closer after meeting trouble. One to bear in mind. Caught eye when second at Beverley last weekend as he didn't get in clear until late on.
3	12 3rd (12) (3.5/1 +0%) King's Code		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(12) King's Code 3.5/1, Did well to score having conceded first run in first-time cheekpieces at Bath (1m) in June and steady gallop didn't play to his strengths when mid-field at Wolverhampton. Changed yards/gelded after and resumed winning ways at Newbury 11 days ago, coming from last. Can go well again. Winning start for new yard when getting up on line at Newbury (7f) recently; respected.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 +0%) Tele Red		6 6/1(+0%)																															(3) Tele Red 6/1, In top form this summer, scoring over C&D before following up at York. Good placed efforts at Pontefract/Ripon since and another bold show likely. Arrives in form, including a C&D win in July; should go well again.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +11%) Garden Oasis		25 25/1(+11%)																															(6) Garden Oasis 25/1, Winner at Ayr in June but has matched that form just once in a handful of runs since. Dipped below winning mark at least. On good mark but hard to be confident he's in good enough form to capitalise.
6th	8 6th (8) (4/1 +43%) Jumeirah King		4 4/1(+43%)																															(8) Jumeirah King 4/1, Fairly useful form when placed 3 times at up to 1¼m in France. Much better for yard debut when second of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 33 days ago and may do better still. Travelled strongly when second on 1m2f handicap debut; drop to 1m could suit; interesting.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -38%) Princess Niyla		11 11/1(-38%)																															(7) Princess Niyla 11/1, Confirmed debut promise at second attempt when making winning return from 7 months off in a Chester novice (7.6f) in July. Good second of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 15 days ago despite never looking comfortable on the track. Can do better again. Low-mileage 3yo who was 4l second in 1m Goodwood handicap latest; may do better still.
8th	11 8th (11) (150/1 -127%) Berkshire Phantom		150 150/1(-127%)																															(11) Berkshire Phantom 150/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding but well held all 3 starts for this yard. Well treated on best for Andrew Balding but has struggled for this yard.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -200%) Royal Musketeer		33 33/1(-200%)																															(10) Royal Musketeer 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 and found run of good form coming to a halt when remote third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 50 days ago. Freshened up since a below-form third in July and is now 6lb below last winning mark.
10th	13 10th (13) (12/1 +14%) War Chant		12 12/1(+14%)																															(13) War Chant 12/1, Thriving sort who completed hat-trick in ready fashion at Bath (1m). Winning run ended in tame fashion off inflated mark at Salisbury since, however. Headgear on. Racked up a 1m hat-trick in June but run of good form came to halt latest; headgear added.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 +18%) Pub Crawl		33 33/1(+18%)																															(4) Pub Crawl 33/1, Remains a maiden but largely consistent and was unlucky not to finish closer third of 5 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 15/8) when last seen 11 months ago (sold from Michael Bell 57,000 gns after). Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. This a belated return for new yard and best watched down in trip with tongue-tie on.
12th	2 12th (2) (80/1 -60%) Baileysgutfeeling		80 80/1(-60%)																															(2) Baileysgutfeeling 80/1, Won a Leicester seller in June (final start for Kevin Philippart de Foy). Mixed record since, respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. Mark on the fall but he's hard to fancy on recent efforts.

17:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Pearl Eye regained the winning thread when triumphant at Beverley last time and a 2lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, ZOZIMUS looked an unlucky loser at that same venue last Saturday when repeatedly denied a clear passage late on. The five-year-old has also been nudged up 2lb in the ratings, but he looks to have more in the locker and a first success of the season could be on the cards. The in-form Tele Red and King's Code are others to note.

KING'S CODE took his form to another level when making a winning start for this yard at Newbury 11 days ago and the manner of victory suggests he's still on a nice mark up only 3 lb. Fellow 3-y-o Pearl Eye is proving most likeable so rates a big threat, with the thriving Tele Red the pick of the older horses.

The way that JUMEIRAH KING travelled over 1m2f last time suggests this drop to 1m could suit and he earns the vote.

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.
