1	2 1st (2) (22/1 -193%) Shoot First		22 22/1(-193%)																															(2) Shoot First 22/1, Useful performance to win a 3m Cheltenham handicap in October 2022. Not seen again until fifth of 10 at Galway 4 weeks ago, shaping as if retaining all his ability. It'll be interesting to see if there's money for him with that outing under his belt. Big-field win at Cheltenham in October 2022; fair fifth at Galway last month after absence.
2	15 2nd (15) (11/4 +66%) One Big Bang		2.75 11/4(+66%)																															(15) One Big Bang 11/4, Maiden in Ireland but 2-2 around 3m for James Owen in the spring, including a C&D handicap. Improved again when second under a double penalty in 21.5f Newton Abbot novice on his return 24 days ago. The step back up in trip will suit and looks on a good mark for his very much in-form yard. Has done very well since joining this yard and he's open to further improvement.
3	13 3rd (13) (22/1 +12%) Phantomofthepoints		22 22/1(+12%)																															(13) Phantomofthepoints 22/1, Posted a fairly useful effort when a wide-margin winner of a Chepstow novice (2m, soft) in April. Not disgraced when sixth of 13 on handicap debut at Ayr (2m) later that month and now steps up markedly in trip for his reappearance in a race the yard is no stranger to success in. Trainer has good record in race, but improvement needed and big stamina question to answer.
4	12 4th (12) (33/1 +34%) Castle Rushen		33 33/1(+34%)																															(12) Castle Rushen 33/1, Finally came good in a handicap when shading a tight finish on his 2½m Carlisle reappearance 3 weeks ago. Only raised 3 lb but it'll probably be enough to stop him in this stronger race. Narrow reappearance win at Carlisle; this is much tougher but he's not ruled out.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 -27%) Backmersackme		14 14/1(-27%)																															(11) Backmersackme 14/1, Point/bumper winner who has shown promise over hurdles and on the Flat since. Unexposed type for a trainer with a strong record in good handicaps, including a win in this race last year. Improvement needed but lightly raced and represents last year's winning connections.
4	4 |F| (4) (11/1 +21%) Gwennie May Boy		11 11/1(+21%)																															(4) Gwennie May Boy 11/1, Made it 3-3 for Dan Skelton with a useful performance to land a competitive staying handicap at the Aintree Grand National meeting in April. A further 11 lb rise demands further progress but no shock were he to find it. Made it 3-3 for yard with easy win at Aintree's National meeting; respected on return.
16	16 |U| (16) (7/1 +42%) Patriotik		7 7/1(+42%)																															(16) Patriotik 7/1, Point winner who opened Rules account in a 2½m Ffos Las novice in March. Made a sound start to his handicap career after a break when fifth of 17 in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) 6 weeks ago. Unexposed now stepping up to 3m for a stable which knows what it takes to win this. Stayed on for fifth in the 2m3f Silver Trophy and the step up to 3m could bear fruit.
14	14 |PU| (14) (9/2 +31%) Catch Him Derry		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(14) Catch Him Derry 9/2, Improving type who made it 3-4 in handicaps when scoring hard held on his 21.5f Newton Abbot reappearance at the end of October. Raised another 7 lb but there's almost certainly more to come. Part of a strong hand for his stable. Harry Skelton rides a stablemate but he's 3-4 in handicaps and clearly thriving.
7	7 |PU| (7) (14/1 +30%) Zain Nights		14 14/1(+30%)																															(7) Zain Nights 14/1, Useful stayer on the Flat for Harry & Roger Charlton and fast heading that way over hurdles, completing a handicap hat-trick in a big-field race over C&D in May. Returned with a good third of 12 at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago. Another who can't be discounted. Completed hat-trick in the spring and could improve for fair comeback third at Cheltenham.
3	3 |PU| (3) (17/2 +29%) Kerryhill		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(3) Kerryhill 17/2, Irish point winner who was very progressive in novice hurdles last winter, making it 2-3 with smooth Doncaster Grade 2 success (3m, good) in January. Surely more to come this season and much respected on handicap debut. Off since Grade 2 novice win at Doncaster in January but yard's horses often go well fresh.
5	5 |PU| (5) (17/2 +39%) Push The Button		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(5) Push The Button 17/2, Progressive in bumpers and 2-3 in novice hurdles at up to 21f last autumn. Off 11 months, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Cheltenham (2½m) 4 weeks ago and shapes as if this step up to 3m will suit him. Returned from absence with fair 5th at Cheltenham; unexposed and could have more to offer.
1	1 |PU| (1) (22/1 +56%) Twig		22 22/1(+56%)																															(1) Twig 22/1, Did really well back chasing last season, including second in Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival. Reverted to hurdles for Wetherby reappearance and finished a fine second in a 3m Wetherby Grade 2. Runs off the same mark as the Ultima. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Second in Ultima Handicap Chase off this mark in March; creditable run over hurdles latest.
9	9 |PU| (9) (28/1 +44%) Ottizzini		28 28/1(+44%)																															(9) Ottizzini 28/1, Won maiden/novice events at up to 3m last season and back on the up when landing a 3m Ayr handicap 3 weeks ago. A 7 lb rise looks fair enough but this is a much tougher race. Easily made all at Ayr three weeks ago but this is a much tougher test of her credentials.
6	6 |PU| (6) (33/1 -18%) Jody Ted		33 33/1(-18%)																															(6) Jody Ted 33/1, Better than ever with chase and handicap hurdle wins last autumn but off since unseating just before halfway in a valuable handicap chase at last year's Leopardstown Christmas meeting. Irish raider; absent since last December but in top form previously; interesting contender.
10	10 |PU| (10) (40/1 +20%) The Imposter		40 40/1(+20%)																															(10) The Imposter 40/1, Made it a remarkable 9 wins in 10 starts when seeing off 5 rivals at Chepstow (3m, heavy) last December. Not seen since, though, and this is a very hard race in which to return from an absence in. 6 wins in a row in 2023; may have more left in the tank but in a hot race back from layoff.

14:30 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Doyen Quest impressed when forging clear in a Cheltenham handicap over 3m last weekend and, officially 5lb well-in at the weights under a penalty, he looks obvious shortlist material. That said, if the quick turnaround catches him out, it may be BACKMERSACKME who takes full advantage. The son of Getaway wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth on his handicap debut off this mark over 2m4f at Worcester in September and, fit from a satisfactory spin on the Flat last month, he gets the vote. Catch Him Derry has done nothing but improve and is overlooked at your peril.

James Owen denied Dan Skelton in a valuable handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last weekend and history may repeat itself, with ONE BIG BANG, who will be well suited by the return to 3m, taken to see off progressive Skelton pair Doyen Quest and Catch Him Derry. Returning Grade 2 novice hurdle winner Kerryhill is another very interesting runner.

The step up in trip could be just what PATRIOTIK (nap) needs after his staying-on fifth in the 2m3f Silver Trophy at Chepstow.

1	7 1st (7) (11/4 +31%) Royale Pagaille		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(7) Royale Pagaille 11/4, Not seen since falling 3 out in the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham in January but he claimed the scalp of Bravemansgame on his return in this 12 months ago, further enhancing his superb record at this venue. Another big run could well be on the cards. Won this 12 months ago on reappearance; leading player if at the top of his game.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/8 +17%) Grey Dawning		1.875 15/8(+17%)																															(5) Grey Dawning 15/8, Took really well to fences last term, bagging his third win in Grade 1 Turners Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and posting a solid third in Manifesto Novices Chase at Aintree final run. Most likeable sort who hasn't reached his ceiling. Won Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival; brings star potential to second chasing season.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 +33%) Bravemansgame		8 8/1(+33%)																															(2) Bravemansgame 8/1, King George winner in 2022 but went winless when not operating at his best last term, including when runner-up in this and the King George at Kempton. Just a respectable comeback in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby 3 weeks ago and opposable at this level nowadays. Blinkers now fitted. 2022 King George winner; hasn't hit the same heights more recently but he's not ruled out.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +50%) Gold Tweet		10 10/1(+50%)																															(4) Gold Tweet 10/1, Smart French chaser but seems better over hurdles (winner of the Cleeve Hurdle in 2022/23) and looks up against it at this level. The return to Britain could prompt another form surge, but this French 7yo looks opposable.
5th	9 5th (9) (13/2 +46%) Limerick Lace		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(9) Limerick Lace 13/2, Smart mare who arrives on the back of an excellent second season over fences, winning 3 times, notably the Grade 2 Mares' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Excuses in the Grand National final start and she's not taken lightly. Won mares' Grade 2 at Cheltenham Festival; in excellent hands to continue to progress.
1	1 |PU| (1) (8/1 -33%) Ahoy Senor		8 8/1(-33%)																															(1) Ahoy Senor 8/1, Not a fluent jumper of fences but top-class on his day and shaped as if as good as ever when third in Old Roan at Aintree on return 4 weeks ago, leaving the impression he'd have pushed the winner closer had he been asked for his effort sooner under a more patient ride than usual. High on shortlist. Highly creditable 3rd in Old Roan on reappearance; could have big say now back up in trip.
3	3 |PU| (3) (20/1 -100%) Capodanno		20 20/1(-100%)																															(3) Capodanno 20/1, High-class chaser who got back to winning ways in Grade 2 Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham in January and similar form despite shaping as if the drop in trip was against him when fourth in the Ryanair. Excuses in Grand National and Punchestown Gold Cup last 2 starts but career best is required here. Inconsistent but won Cotswold Chase in January & represents all-conquering Willie Mullins.

15:05 Haydock Conditions Chase (Class 1) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Grey Dawning has to be respected on his return to action following a very successful novice campaign, but he could be vulnerable in this company without a prep run. With that in mind, preference is for HEWICK, who improved on his comeback performance when narrowly denied by Envoi Allen at Down Royal earlier in the month. Last season's King George winner went on to finish third in a top-class renewal of the Punchestown Gold Cup in May and is arguably the one to beat on that form. Royale Pagaille cannot be discounted having taken this contest 12 months ago, while Bravemansgame should not be written off in first-time blinkers.

AHOY SENOR is a risky betting proposition due to his suspect jumping, but he looked as good as ever ridden more patiently than usual when third under top weight in the Old Roan at Aintree on his comeback last month and could be worth chancing. The obvious threat is Grey Dawning, who was the leading British-trained novice last season and should have even more to offer this term. Haydock specialist and defending champion Royale Pagaille completes the shortlist.

Haydock brings out the best in ROYALE PAGAILLE, who won this 12 months ago on his reappearance, and he can land back-to-back runnings.

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +0%) Fontaine Collonges		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Fontaine Collonges 7/1, Added to her tally in Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby (heavy) on Boxing Day. The run likely came too soon when well behind a couple of these in Classic Chase at Warwick only 18 days later and returns fresh from 10 months off now. Won this two years ago and capable of having a big say if at the top of her game.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/1 -60%) Monbeg Genius		16 16/1(-60%)																															(2) Monbeg Genius 16/1, Highly progressive over fences as a novice, winning 3 handicaps before ending campaign with an excellent third in Ultima. Just the one decent effort last season when third in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Starts the new campaign on a nice mark as a result. Failed to kick on last season but still only eight and not discounted on reappearance.
3	10 3rd (10) (10/1 -122%) Take Your Time		10 10/1(-122%)																															(10) Take Your Time 10/1, Isn't the most consistent but has won all 3 completed starts in handicap chases (including over C&D on heavy), battling well at Ffos Las 7 months ago. Definite claims on return. Very in and out last season but won three times and could be on a good mark.
4	8 4th (8) (7/2 +56%) Credo		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(8) Credo 7/2, Has a decent strike rate and returned with a respectable effort at Wincanton last month. Should be spot on now and looks a player. 2lb lower than when second in this last year and could improve for recent comeback third.
9	9 |PU| (9) (12/1 +0%) Pepe Le Moko		12 12/1(+0%)																															(9) Pepe Le Moko 12/1, Winless following 5 attempts over hurdles but quickly put that right sent chasing, taking 2 of his first 3 starts (at up to 20.5f). Probably needed the run at Cheltenham on return and remains with some potential. Faded on first try at staying trip but may have needed the run; only 6; retains potential.
7	7 |PU| (7) (13/8 +80%) Hititi		1.625 13/8(+80%)																															(7) Hititi 13/8, Likeable sort who returned to chasing with an excellent second in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow. Still potentially thrown in on hurdles form and looks the one to beat. Well treated on hurdle form and good second over fences latest; could build on that run.
6	6 |PU| (6) (15/2 +25%) My Silver Lining		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(6) My Silver Lining 15/2, Relished increased test of stamina when bagging fourth chase win in Classic Chase at Warwick in January. Excellent placed efforts in Grand National Trial here and Midlands National at Uttoxeter next 2 starts but below form subsequently, including on return (pulled up). Pulled up on reappearance but had a superb campaign last season and is not written off.
4	4 |PU| (4) (16/1 +20%) Prairie Wolf		16 16/1(+20%)																															(4) Prairie Wolf 16/1, Winner of 3 of his half-a-dozen starts switched to fences last term, finishing a solid third off this mark in a strong 10-runner Ayr handicap on final start in April. Yet to fire this season, though. Something to prove regarding stamina and current form, but was progressive last season.
11	11 |PU| (11) (28/1 +15%) Prince Des Fichaux		28 28/1(+15%)																															(11) Prince Des Fichaux 28/1, Ended last season with a poor run and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle on return, so has a bit to prove at this level. Went close in the Eider in February but beaten a long way on last month's reappearance.

15:40 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

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

MY SILVER LINING arrives here on the back of two poor performances, but there were valid excuses for those defeats and they also mean that she arrives here 1lb lower than when third in the Midlands Grand National in March. That followed a fine second in the Grand National Trial over 3m4f at this venue the previous month and a reproduction of either of those performances would make her hard to beat. Credo was second in this race last season and could go well once again, while Fontaine Collonges and Le Milos are the pick of the remainder.

HITITI made a positive return to the larger obstacles when second at Chepstow and, based on hurdling form, he's well enough treated to go one better. Take Your Time has a good record over fences and looks the main threat ahead of Dare To Shout.

Having done very well this autumn since being switched to fences, DARE TO SHOUT is taken to follow up his win at Carlisle.

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.

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.
