Easily made all here on handicap debut and subsequent heavy defeat was on testing ground.

4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -14%) In The Breeze	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) In The Breeze 16/1, Scored by 2l off 78 over 12f at Pontefract penultimate start; didn't settle well enough off very slow pace last time; effective 10-12f, not proven beyond, acts on any; fair mark, bit to prove at trip. Two-time course winner who scored at Pontefract last month; possible player.
5th	7 5th (7) (6/1 -20%) High Point	6 6/1(-20%)	(7) High Point 6/1, Progressed towards best form up in trip landing a handicap by a nose off 76 here last time; enjoys making it; significant jockey booking; effective 10f, stays 14f, acts on good and AW, suited by cut; fair new mark. Suited by the step up in trip when narrowly beating Contacto over C&D three weeks ago.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 +50%) Imperial Sovereign	6 6/1(+50%)	(2) Imperial Sovereign 6/1, Stayed and bit better effort switched to AW 5l third in a handicap at Southwell over this trip most recent run; effective 12-14f, acts on any; coming back into form. Back to form when 3rd of 11 at Southwell; has to take another step back in right direction.
7th	4 7th (4) (125/1 -56%) Skycutter	125 125/1(-56%)	(4) Skycutter 125/1, Needed race down the field in a handicap over 12f at Newcastle most recent; enjoys making it; suited by 2m, acts on soft and good; needs to prove retains ability following a break. Won over fences last December but tailed off on the Flat on last month's stable debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (9/1 -38%) Dino Bellagio	9 9/1(-38%)	(8) Dino Bellagio 9/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 5l off 71 at Chester last time; effective 11-16f, probably acts on any; quite stiff mark now and needs to get fractions right. Easily made all at Chester four weeks ago and a 6lb rise isn't overly harsh.

13:55 Haydock (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

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

After a brace of wins over 1m4f on Tapeta at Southwell and Newcastle, COEDANA reverts to turf on an upwards trajectory. A 14lb rise for those two cosy successes demands more of the Ed Bethell-trained filly, especially as she tackles a new trip. However, there is every indication the additional yardage can be taken in her stride. High Point edged out Contacto by a neck to win over C&D last time and he can give the selection the most to think about.

The 3yo COEDANA has impressed on Tapeta in her first two handicaps and, having shown promise on turf previously, can land the hat-trick.

1	1 1st (1) (1/10 +75%) Accredit	0.1 1/10(+75%)	(1) Accredit 1/10, Came clear in the style of a good horse when winning a maiden at Sandown by 3l last time; bred to stay 10f, acts on soft, action will suit fast ground; very nice type, bright future. Won three-runner maiden at Sandown; carries penalty but he's still the one to beat.
2	4 2nd (4) (18/1 +10%) Double Combo	18 18/1(+10%)	(4) Double Combo 18/1, Fair effort beaten 9l in a maiden here on debut; bred to want a mile, give will suit action; should improve. Soundly beaten over C&D on debut but pedigree provides hope he'll be capable of better.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 -122%) Uniter	10 10/1(-122%)	(8) Uniter 10/1, Made plenty of use of but very tame effort well beaten in a 2yo race at Newbury latest; trainer in form; dam stayed 10f and looks to have thrown that way, give may suit; game, likeable sort but very disappointing second start. Promising third on debut at Kempton; well beaten at Newbury since but not written off.
4	6 4th (6) (80/1 -100%) Houndswood Willow	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Houndswood Willow 80/1, Looked green well beaten in a maiden here only start; showed little on debut, some give should suit action. Half-brother to two winners but he was down the field over C&D on last month's debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +25%) Big Eagle	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Big Eagle 12/1, 24 Apr; 65,000gns breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation; dam useful at 10f; tough enough task on debut. 65,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; half-brother to French winner; could have e-w chance on debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 +24%) Palazzo Ducale	50 50/1(+24%)	(7) Palazzo Ducale 50/1, 7 Mar; St Mark's Basilica colt; dam smart at 8f; likely to need the experience. Dam useful; trainer is enjoying a productive autumn but isn't known for 2yo winners.
7th	5 7th (5) (125/1 -150%) Home Secretary	125 125/1(-150%)	(5) Home Secretary 125/1, Quite a good race but found nothing comfortably held in a maiden at Newcastle last time; wide draw; bred for 8-10f; plenty to prove after two moderate efforts. Useful pedigree but well beaten in sixth on both starts; dramatic improvement is necessary.

14:30 Haydock (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ACCREDIT was a promising third when introduced over 7f at Sandown in August. However, he was visually much more impressive when justifying odds of 4/11 in a three-runner event over a mile event at the same venue last month. The Gosdens' well-related son of Dubawi can take another step forward under a 7lb penalty here. Uniter appeals most from those with experience. However, Big Eagle, a 65,000gns breeze-up purchase, won't need to be anything special to have a bigger say on his racecourse debut.

The Gosden-trained ACCREDIT has shown considerable promise at Sandown on both starts and can add to last month's win there.

1	5 1st (5) (5/2 -11%) Eternal Force	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(5) Eternal Force 5/2, Transferred maiden form into a handicap winning by 3/4l off 83 at Newbury last time; top course trainer; suited by 1m, acts on GS and GF; looks well handicapped. Two from two since being gelded, the latest performance at Newbury on handicap debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +50%) Talis Evolvere	6 6/1(+50%)	(7) Talis Evolvere 6/1, Finished fast after played too late beaten 2l off 86 at Kempton last time; effective 7/8f, suited by a sound surface, poor only starts with cut; better than latest effort and nice mark. Still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf; not the percentage call.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 -27%) Zryan	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Zryan 14/1, Ran to form beaten 1/4l off 83 at Southwell last time; effective 1m, acts on S, G and AW; fair mark on French form and unexposed for this yard. Record of 403 in Britain is in keeping with a general inconsistency this year.
4	10 4th (10) (28/1 -75%) On The River	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) On The River 28/1, Won this last year; didn't have best trip but below form again comfortably held in a seller at Chester last time; effective 7/8f, acts on fast ground, probably best with give; in just fair form now. Won this race off 1lb higher last year; fighting chance provided he's in same form.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +0%) Brave Emperor	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) Brave Emperor 40/1, Below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; off a short-break; suited by 1m, probably acts on any; out of form. Far from solid on 2025 form; best watched unless the market speaks positively.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +43%) Silver Sword	4 4/1(+43%)	(1) Silver Sword 4/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off 90 at York last time; suited by 8/9f, probably best on a sound surface; form going the right way. Ran respectably at York last Friday; possibilities off current mark back down in grade.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/3 +26%) Angel Hunter	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(3) Angel Hunter 10/3, Ran to best 3yo form when winning a classified race at Ascot by 2l last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on soft and a sound surface; mark workable, needs to back-up classified form in a handicap. Successful at Ascot upped to 1m last time; may have more to offer over this trip.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 -87%) Warrior Mode	14 14/1(-87%)	(6) Warrior Mode 14/1, Well backed, ran to form 4l third in a novice over 7f at Newcastle most recent run in June; returning from a break for a wind operation; unexposed. Prescott colt who remains open to further progress; had wind surgery since last run.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 -33%) Bubbles Wonky	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Bubbles Wonky 12/1, Ran to current form beaten a neck off 80 over 9f at Hamilton last time; effective 7-10f, best at 9f, acts on any; mark a fraction stiff perhaps. Has shown best form this year over the stiff 1m1f at Hamilton; something to prove.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -200%) Present Times	150 150/1(-200%)	(11) Present Times 150/1, Pulled too hard down the field in a handicap over 7f at Newcastle most recent; tongue-tie first time; suited by 1m, acts on S and AW; yet to prove he's trained on. Fitting of tongue-tie needs to prompt a big revival.
11th	4 11th (4) (9/1 -50%) Sword	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Sword 9/1, Good effort having been set plenty to do beaten 1/2l off 85 over 7f at Newcastle last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark looks reasonable. May remain competitive, provided removal of usual hood doesn't have negative effect.

15:05 Haydock (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

After winning both starts since being gelded, ETERNAL FORCE is an attractive proposition with his bid to complete a hat-trick. The son of Dubawi kept on well under similar conditions at Newbury last time and a 5lb higher mark looks manageable. Angel Hunter was the ready winner of a classified stakes at Ascot a fortnight ago and is notable back in a handicap after that likely confidence-boosting success. His stable companion Talis Evolvere and the handicapping newcomer Warrior Mode are others to consider.

With further progress very plausible, ETERNAL FORCE could well complete a hat-trick. Angel Hunter is second choice.

Latest 5th over C&D wasn't a bad effort when things didn't pan out; not entirely ruled out.

15:40 Haydock (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ILLY'S ROO was well found in the market when opening his account at Salisbury recently and an opening mark of 73 could prove lenient. That was only the second outing for the son of Australia and he is open to more improvement than his rivals. Come On Over posted an encouraging second on his stable/nursery debut at Haydock last month and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Charlie Clover's charge is feared most, ahead of the consistent Territorial Star.

Most of these need a second look but the vote goes to MARCH AHEAD, who's drawn to go forward.

16:15 Haydock (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SPLISH SPLASH's stamina appeared to ebb away when weakening into fourth over 7f at Doncaster last month and a drop in class/trip could prove fruitful. The daughter of Wootton Bassett had previously finished a good third on her debut at Newbury and she rates as the one to beat. Recent Chelmsford second Whiskey Kisses has improved with each outing and warrants consideration, while market support for newcomer Zooming would be interesting.

Some interesting newcomers but they'll need to know their job to stop SPLISH SPLASH getting off the mark.

16:50 Haydock (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied in a big-field handicap at York last Friday, KINSWOMAN is turned out again quickly off a mark which is due to be 2lb higher in the future and she can take advantage for her in-form connections. Not beaten too far over further the last twice when showing plenty of pace, C&D winner Trilby should appreciate dropping back in trip, while fellow course winner Jer Batt is likely to be competitive.

The progressive 3yo KINSWOMAN (nap) went close off today's mark in a big field at York last Friday and can go one better today.

17:25 Haydock (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner over C&D in July when making all, SECRET MISTRAL almost performed the same tactics at Chester last month over slightly further, only to be worn down late in the piece. Tony Carroll's mare should have too much for Brazilian Belle, who was unlucky when third at Musselburgh on Monday. Impressor and Our Absent Friends are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The race HIGH OPINION contested last time has worked out nicely and there are reasons for thinking he's about to take a step forward.
