13:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up over 1m2f at Wetherby earlier this month, a drop in class could see Auld Toon Loon build on that effort, but he has to shoulder top-weight for this contest. Therefore, preference is for IN THE BREEZE, who arrives here following a creditable third, also over 1m2f, at Windsor on his most recent outing. He was left short of room on that occasion and is fancied to bounce back, while C'mon Kenny is another of interest when considering the booking of William Buick.

A number arrive with a little to prove but that can't be said for AULD TOON LOON who produced his best effort yet when runner-up on handicap debut at Wetherby 11 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come now upped further in trip, he looks a solid proposition. C'mon Kenny clearly hasn't been easy to train but market support behind him would look significant with William Buick aboard. In The Breeze is also on a workable mark.

The unexposed AULD TOON LOON was a close second when upped to 1m2f at Wetherby on his handicap debut and can go one better.

It is hard to oppose the four-timer seeking CARZOLA, who has shown enough in recent contests to suggest she can add to her winning tally here. A further 10lb rise may not be enough to stop her. Law Of The Sea drops in trip following a promising fourth in the Chester Cup last time out and is feared, while Firstman seeks to bounce back from his latest outing at Newmarket.

LAW OF THE SEA caught the eye in no uncertain terms in the Chester Cup and is selected to confirm the promise of that run. Carzola is proving most progressive so warrants plenty of respect in his bid for the 4-timer despite having a 10 lb higher mark to contend with. Mountain Road ended last season on the up and merits consideration, also.

Having run a cracker in the Chester Cup on stable debut, when fourth having been unlucky in running, LAW OF THE SEA (nap) is the pick.

Any strength in the market would have to be noted for COVEY, who makes his return to turf following an emphatic success at Newcastle over 7f earlier this month. A facile winner at Newmarket on his penultimate run, the unexposed son of Frankel could have more to offer and is the one to beat. Others of interest include Gincident, who steps up in class following a comfortable victory at Musselburgh last month, along with the recent C&D winner James Mchenry.

An opening mark of 90 could easily underestimate the very promising COVEY who can add to his 2 easy wins in maiden/novice company this spring. Clive Cox has won this race twice since 2018 and Just Bring It may provide the chief threat on the back of his fine second at Newmarket last weekend. James McHenry, a good winner over C&D a fortnight ago, and the unexposed Royal Cape complete the shortlist.

Preference is for DEFENCE OF FORT, who impressed on his debut at Ascot last July and has been gelded since last seen.

Little Big Bear is clear of these rivals on ratings but has questions to answer after being found lame when last in the 2000 Guineas, so preference is for COLD CASE. Karl Burke's colt won the Commonwealth Cup Trial on his reappearance, showing a likeable attitude to come back after being headed. He won cosily enough in the end by a length and a half and appears likely to make another bold bid. Bradsell, third when favourite behind the selection at Ascot, heads the remainder.

LITTLE BIG BEAR had legitimate excuses when trailing home last in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket 3 weeks ago so is well worth another chance to confirm the form of his devastating win in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last summer. Bradsell was 1½ lengths behind Cold Case in the Pavilion Stakes at Ascot but that was his first run since suffering a season-ending injury in the Phoenix Stakes, so last year's Coventry winner may emerge as the biggest threat.

An on-song Little Big Bear would be hard to beat but he's overlooked in favour of BRADSELL and Cold Case.

A fascinating renewal featuring the reappearance of two of last season's leading sprint juveniles, The Platinum Queen - the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye winner - and Dramatised, who fared much the better of the pair at the Breeders' Cup in the autumn. Both warrant a place on the shortlist along with another filly in Royal Aclaim but the one to beat may be last year's runner-up TWILIGHT CALLS, who will have derived plenty of benefit from a recent prep run on unsuitably soft ground.

A cracking-looking renewal of the Temple Stakes, with ROYAL ACLAIM getting the vote. She quickly made up into a smart sprinter last term and looked to be still on the up when last seen at Longchamp. With just 5 runs under her belt she could make the breakthrough at the top level this year. Strong cases can be made for plenty of others, particularly Live In The Dream, Mitbaahy, Twilight Calls and the 3-y-o fillies The Platinum Queen and Dramatised.

This could go to ANNAF, who was denied a clear run when a fine fourth in last week's Duke Of York. Mitbaahy is feared most.

Indian Falcon saw his recent Pontefract success franked when the reopposing William Dewhirst (second) won at Thirsk 16 days ago. There shouldn't be much to separate the pair once more and both merit consideration, but a chance is taken on BIG R. The son of Cotai Glory made a pleasing handicap debut at Salisbury earlier this month. The booking of champion jockey William Buick would appear to signal a statement of intent.

Plenty are in with a shout. INDIAN FALCON still looked a work in progress when scoring on his return at Pontefract (form been franked) and can take another sizeable step forward to follow up on his first go in handicaps. Thirsk scorer William Dewhirst also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list with the handily-weighted Herakles and turf debutant Due Date completing the shortlist.

A good-looking Class 5. BIG R was quite eyecatching in how he made late gains at Salisbury and he could be the answer.

ZAINALARAB was too keen for his own good when finishing last of eight at Newmarket in September. However, the son of Wootton Bassett had been progressive prior to that effort and after being gelded, he may resume his improvement. This would appear to be wide open though, so he can only receive a tentative vote, with Persuasion appealing as a likely challenger down in class. Others to note include Gorak and Ffion.

ZAINALARAB ended his 3-y-o campaign in a bit of a lull, but its significant connections have kept the faith with him (gelded in the interim), so's put forward as a tentative selection returning from 8 months off. Frankie Dettori gets on board Roman Dragon for the first time, and he could give the selection most to think about with a recent run under his belt, ahead of Persuasion and Royal Pleasure, in what looks a wide-open finale.

The lightly raced 4yo ZAINALARAB has been gelded since last season and could be set for a productive campaign. Gorak is a danger.

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.
