Races & Results Saturday 28th May 2022
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Jimi Hendrix 6/1, Well backed and stepped forward from debut to narrowly land Doncaster maiden (7f, soft) in October, idling close home. Failed to justify favouritism under a penalty on return a month ago and doesn't look that well treated up in trip.
8
2nd (8) (7.5/1 +17%) He's A Gentleman
7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(8) He's A Gentleman 7.5/1, Slightly frustrating he's still a maiden, looking the likely winner on second run for Hugo Palmer when ultimately edged out at Doncaster in April. Stamina for a well-run 1m not set in stone.
2
3rd (2) (4/1 -14%) Thunder Legend
4
4/1(-14%)
(2) Thunder Legend 4/1, Improved to get off the mark in good style in 8.3f maiden at Hamilton in August, quickening clear from next-time-out winner. Failed to meet expectations starting out for William Haggas 3 weeks ago, however.
4
4th (4) (4.5/1 +47%) Million Thanks
4.5
4.5/1(+47%)
(4) Million Thanks 4.5/1, Had a breathing operation after a brace of placed efforts as a juvenile and off the mark despite doing a fair bit wrong at Musselburgh on reappearance 19 days ago. Can leave bare form of that behind now handicapping.
7
5th (7) (5/1 +17%) Chef De Partie
5
5/1(+17%)
(7) Chef De Partie 5/1, Half-brother to smart 6f winner Ajaya and very smart winner up to 1½m Extra Elusive. Progressive form in a trio of 1m maidens, neck second at Goodwood in April, and limit not yet reached.
5
6th (5) (9/1 +18%) Spacer
9
9/1(+18%)
(5) Spacer 9/1, Confirmed promise of debut run when landing 7f course novice in August, seeing it out well. Fourth of 8 on reappearance at Chester and will stay 1m but he's not obviously capable of much better.
6
7th (6) (11/1 +0%) Papa Cocktail
11
11/1(+0%)
(6) Papa Cocktail 11/1, Made second start a winning one in 7f novice at this track in June. Failed to kick on as a juvenile but gelded in the interim and best effort yet when third back in a handicap at Doncaster in April.
11
8th (11) (40/1 -82%) Ana Gold
40
40/1(-82%)
(11) Ana Gold 40/1, Overcame greenness to narrowly land 5f novice in August. Failure to settle has held her back since, which asks a question over 1m, and her mark looks pretty high, too.
1
9th (1) (7/1 -17%) Blueberry Hill
7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Blueberry Hill 7/1, Stepped up on reappearance when winning 9-runner novice at Epsom in April, putting experience to good use. Sound handicap debut when fourth at Ascot and no reason why he won't give it another good shot.
9
10th (9) (66/1 -32%) Barneys Gift
66
66/1(-32%)
(9) Barneys Gift 66/1, Second start for this yard when taking 13-runner novice at Redcar (7f, soft) in November, responding well. Gelded after and was never going on April's reappearance/handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
13:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Raasel 5.5/1, Has thrived for these connections since he returned to turf last season, winning 6 handicaps (edged out Clarendon House at Goodwood). Fine run from unfavourable position at York last time and well worth a shot at this grade.
4
2nd (4) (2.25/1 +0%) Dragon Symbol
2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(4) Dragon Symbol 2.25/1, Won his first 4 starts over 5f/6f last season and admirably consistent in the top sprints after. Shaped as if he'd come on plenty for his return at York for new yard 17 days ago and should last a lot longer down in grade here. The class act.
9
3rd (9) (7/1 +22%) Tabdeed
7
7/1(+22%)
(9) Tabdeed 7/1, Five-time winner over 6f, including Group 3. Better run second start for new yard at Windsor 12 days ago (pulled hard) and drops to 5f for the first time now.
5
4th (5) (50/1 +0%) King Of Stars
50
50/1(+0%)
(5) King Of Stars 50/1, Started the year with a couple of respectable efforts in Meydan but ran poorly back on these shores when last of 6 at Southwell 13 weeks ago. Looks vulnerable back from a break.
6
5th (6) (20/1 -43%) Nomadic Empire
20
20/1(-43%)
(6) Nomadic Empire 20/1, Ended 2021 on the up and gelded ahead of unlucky defeat in 5f Ripon handicap on his return. Poor at York since though and needs to get back on track.
3
6th (3) (5/1 +17%) Clarendon House
5
5/1(+17%)
(3) Clarendon House 5/1, Progressive sprinter last year, winning 4 of his 6 starts. Fine return behind Raasel at Goodwood and not the smartest away up into a Group 3 in France next time. Respected.
11
7th (11) (12/1 +33%) Attagirl
12
12/1(+33%)
(11) Attagirl 12/1, Useful sprinter who won twice as a 2-y-o, including a 5f listed York race. Should be better for her return in France 38 days ago but plenty more needed to figure in this.
10
8th (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Tenaya Canyon
5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(10) Tenaya Canyon 5.5/1, Dual winner last term, including C&D handicap, and seen to good effect closer to the pace than usual when second in 6f Newmarket listed race 4 weeks ago. Bit more needed back in trip.
2
9th (2) (12/1 -50%) Atalis Bay
12
12/1(-50%)
(2) Atalis Bay 12/1, C&D winner who has made up into a smart sprinter, winning listed race at Sandown a year ago. Showed plenty of dash before fading in the Palace House on return for new yard and couldn't rule out.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Haydock Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(9) State Of Bliss 40/1, Found some improvement and capitalised on drop in weights to score at Ripon (12f) in April. May have found race coming too soon at Newmarket a week later (also possibly unsuited by track) and bounce back not ruled out.
10
1st (10) (3.33/1 +5%) Contact
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(10) Contact 3.33/1, Likeable type who built on his promising reappearance run when successful at Newmarket (12f) in April, going on some way out and winning in good style. Has to be worth a look from 5 lb higher mark with possibility of more to come.
2
2nd (2) (28/1 -12%) Universal Order
28
28/1(-12%)
(2) Universal Order 28/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who added listed success to his tally at Newmarket (12f) in 2020. However, missed the whole of last year and understandably looked in need of belated return at Ascot (12f) at the start of the month. This ought to reveal more.
8
3rd (8) (2/1 +27%) Mahrajaan
2
2/1(+27%)
(8) Mahrajaan 2/1, Impressive as he completed quick-fire hat-trick on handicap debut at Hamilton (12f) in August and ran well from 10 lb higher mark/in much deeper company when third at York (13.8f) in October. Remains low-mileage and likely more to come this term. Big player.
12
4th (12) (10/1 +9%) HMS President
10
10/1(+9%)
(12) HMS President 10/1, Winner at Windsor (10f) 12 months ago and went close on numerous occasions from higher marks thereafter. Arrives having run respectably when fourth in big-field Ascot handicap (12f) 3 weeks ago and he's a live each-way player.
7
5th (7) (66/1 -65%) Reshoun
66
66/1(-65%)
(7) Reshoun 66/1, Won the Ascot Stakes (20f) second time up last season and not disgraced when close-up fourth of 6 on return in Wolverhampton handicap (16.5f) in April. Never figured in Chester Cup latest and whilst his mark is easing this trip may be on the short side.
3
6th (3) (12/1 +25%) Rock Eagle
12
12/1(+25%)
(3) Rock Eagle 12/1, Useful and consistent gelding who acquitted himself with credit when last seen on AW early last year, runner-up in valuable conditions' event over 2m final start. Best part of a 14 month absence to overcome here so interesting to see what the market makes of him.
1
7th (1) (22/1 -22%) Volcanic Sky
22
22/1(-22%)
(1) Volcanic Sky 22/1, Smart performer who ended last season with success from 7 lb lower mark at Newmarket (12f) in August. Plenty of creditable efforts in Meydan earlier this year, midfield in a Group 2 contest (15.9f) in March. Not discounted back on these shores.
13
8th (13) (2.75/1 +21%) Forza Orta
2.75
2.75/1(+21%)
(13) Forza Orta 2.75/1, Improving 4-y-o who doubled his tally at Hamilton (13f) at the start of the month and stepped up again when runner-up at York (11.8f) 17 days ago, beaten only by a totally unexposed one. Should give another good account.
4
9th (4) (40/1 +0%) Zabeel Champion
40
40/1(+0%)
(4) Zabeel Champion 40/1, Progressive staying handicapper on the level last term and proved willing when doubling hurdles tally for this yard here (15.6f) in April. Never figured back on the Flat at York 17 days ago but nudged back down 2 lb.
5
10th (5) (50/1 -52%) Kelly's Dino
50
50/1(-52%)
(5) Kelly's Dino 50/1, Landed Old Newton Cup over C&D back in 2019 but absent since running below par at Newmarket (12f) the following year. Makes belated return with yard in good order so he requires a precautionary market check.
11
11th (11) (14/1 -17%) Scarlet Dragon
14
14/1(-17%)
(11) Scarlet Dragon 14/1, Winless since his 2020 Duke of Edinburgh success, well held back on the Flat at Newmarket last month having refused to race over hurdles in October. Risky.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(9) Sea La Rosa 2.25/1, Steadily progressive last season, successful 4 times from 7 starts, notably when an easy winner of a listed event on the AW at Lingfield final outing. That form looks better now and she must be considered for red-hot yard.
10
2nd (10) (16/1 +0%) Viola
16
16/1(+0%)
(10) Viola 16/1, Much improved as a 4-y-o last season, showing useful form to win 3 handicaps. Excuses at Lingfield on return but career best required at this level.
7
3rd (7) (7.5/1 -7%) Nell Quickly
7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(7) Nell Quickly 7.5/1, Progressive filly who took form to another level when completing hat-trick of handicap wins at Newmarket when last seen in October. Worth a shot at this level given her profile and not to be underestimated.
1
4th (1) (25/1 +50%) By Starlight
25
25/1(+50%)
(1) By Starlight 25/1, Fairly useful filly who doubled her tally at Goodwood last season but looked out of her depth at this level at Newmarket final start.
3
5th (3) (8/1 +27%) Darlectable You
8
8/1(+27%)
(3) Darlectable You 8/1, Superbly-bred filly who made light of 12-month absence to make a winning handicap debut at Windsor (10f) 23 days ago, albeit well positioned. Still, she remains low-mileage and interesting her excellent yard pitch her in here.
6
6th (6) (6.5/1 +0%) Lady Hayes
6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(6) Lady Hayes 6.5/1, Useful filly who looked better than ever when just edged out by a smart prospect in a listed event at Goodwood (12f) on return, pulling clear of the rest. Was a good second in the Lancashire Oaks over C&D last season so high on shortlist.
2
7th (2) (7/1 -75%) Climate
7
7/1(-75%)
(2) Climate 7/1, Opened her account in a 1m maiden at Navan in September and improved on subsequent starts, including when fourth in Dahlia Stakes (9f) at Newmarket on return. That form puts her firmly in the mix here if seeing out this longer trip.
4
8th (4) (50/1 +0%) Folk Dance
50
50/1(+0%)
(4) Folk Dance 50/1, Progressive in handicaps in 2020, winning easily when stepped up to this trip on final start that year. Shaped as if better for the run after 20 months off when last of 7 in a listed event at Goodwood and this will reveal more.
8
9th (8) (3.5/1 +30%) Noon Star
3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(8) Noon Star 3.5/1, Beautifully-bred filly who was second to Oaks winner Snowfall in Musidora last year. Underperformed in the Ribblesdale next time but right back on track with a listed success at Nottingham on reappearance. Excuses at York since and looks ready for another go at this trip.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(6) Pogo 8.5/1, Globetrotter in recent outings who was last seen finishing tailed off in Group 2 Godolphin Mile at Meydan in March. Standout effort last season came when runner-up in Group 2 Joel Stakes so he's not taken lightly if in the same mood back on European soil.
4
2nd (4) (5/1 +17%) Laneqash
5
5/1(+17%)
(4) Laneqash 5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who posted excellent placed efforts over 7f in Hungerford Stakes at Newbury and Park Stakes at Doncaster. Ended last term with a solid fourth to Benbatl in Group 2 Joel Stakes at Newmarket and reappears after 8 months off having been gelded.
3
3rd (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Kinross
2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(3) Kinross 2.25/1, Smart form since being gelded, landing this corresponding event and Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in 2021. Shaped better than the bare result when mid-field in Group 1 at Ascot on his final 4-y-o start (finished with running left after twice being hampered) so is fancied to feature on return.
8
4th (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Sunray Major
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(8) Sunray Major 3.5/1, Smart horse who resumed with good fifth in Group 2 at Sandown last month. Unable to land a blow upped further in grade when sixth of 9 to Baaeed in Lockinge at Newbury since but he's in top hands and it's still early days.
5
5th (5) (22/1 -22%) Misty Grey
22
22/1(-22%)
(5) Misty Grey 22/1, Smart performer on AW, successful 4 times for trainer at up to this trip. Respectable effort on his first turf start since September 2020 in a listed contest over C&D 3 weeks ago but he's likely to come up short in this company.
2
6th (2) (7/1 -27%) Happy Power
7
7/1(-27%)
(2) Happy Power 7/1, Ended a losing run in weaker company than he had been accustomed to keeping when landing 3-runner listed race (9/4) at Leicester (7f) 5 weeks ago, quickening to lead under 2f out. Merits consideration for all this is obviously tougher.
7
7th (7) (7/1 -17%) Spycatcher
7
7/1(-17%)
(7) Spycatcher 7/1, Proving very consistent since landing 9-runner listed race at Lingfield in February, holding his own in Group 2 company at York 17 days ago. Could get involved if they go hard up front.
1
8th (1) (100/1 -52%) Catch Twentytwo
100
100/1(-52%)
(1) Catch Twentytwo 100/1, Placed 3 times at Grade 1 level in South Africa last year but he's failed to beat a single rival on both starts for this yard. This no easier task so he looks an easy swerve.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Silver Samurai 7/1, Confirmed his return to form when landing 7-runner handicap at Newbury (6f, good, 4/1) 15 days ago, leading final strides having been held up. Came in a for a well-judged ride on that occasion, so more needed up 4 lb.
13
2nd (13) (14/1 +13%) Music Society
14
14/1(+13%)
(13) Music Society 14/1, Has yet to fire this season but has now dipped below his last winning mark and market support would make him of interest.
5
3rd (5) (5.5/1 -22%) Nationwide
5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(5) Nationwide 5.5/1, Big improver for present yard, making it 3 from 3 in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) last week, quickened to lead inside final 1f and only needing to be pushed out. Open to further improvement and has to be shortlisted on turf debut.
11
4th (11) (5.5/1 +31%) Dancinginthewoods
5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(11) Dancinginthewoods 5.5/1, Looked unlucky not to add to his tally when fourth at Newmarket (6f, good, 15/2) on reappearance, having to weave way through. Again, better than he could show at Leicester last time and remains of interest now fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
1
5th (1) (18/1 -29%) Digital
18
18/1(-29%)
(1) Digital 18/1, Improved further to resume winning ways at Southwell in February. Decent third back on turf at Newbury but ran no sort of race at York (5f) 16 days ago. Needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.
2
6th (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Zargun
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(2) Zargun 4.5/1, Ran a cracker back up in trip when second of 21 in 6f York handicap (good) 6 days ago, doing much the best of those drawn in single figures. Not taken lightly turned out again quickly.
6
7th (6) (3.33/1 +26%) Alrehb
3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(6) Alrehb 3.33/1, Bagged 7f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield before recording good second here (7f) in April. Well backed but well below form in Victoria Cup at Ascot last time. First try at 6f.
9
8th (9) (16/1 +0%) Mitrosonfire
16
16/1(+0%)
(9) Mitrosonfire 16/1, More than paid his way in 2021, bagging four handicaps over this trip, the latest off this mark at Newmarket. Shaped as if needing the run behind Silver Samurai at Newbury on reappearance 15 days ago and should be much sharper here.
10
9th (10) (20/1 -25%) Boogie Time
20
20/1(-25%)
(10) Boogie Time 20/1, Racked up a hat-trick in 6f handicaps last summer but below form both starts this year, acknowledging he had too much use made of him at York last time.
12
10th (12) (33/1 +18%) Quest For Fun
33
33/1(+18%)
(12) Quest For Fun 33/1, Fair form when runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts in 2020. Not seen since though, and opening mark could have been kinder.
4
11th (4) (10/1 -11%) Able Kane
10
10/1(-11%)
(4) Able Kane 10/1, Likeable sort who ended 2021 in top form, signing off with a 7f success at Leicester. Not at his best so far this season, though the way he travelled dropped back to this trip at Newbury last time hinted at better. Blinkers on for 1st time.
LTO Selection:
16:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Vintage Choice 2/1, Redcar 7f winner before very good second of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 39 days ago. Goes into handicaps on a good mark having been gelded. Big player.
2
(2) (5/1 -11%) Notions
5
5/1(-11%)
(2) Notions 5/1, Posted a career best when stylish winner of 8-runner handicap at Goodwood (7f) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly upped 2 lb.
3
(3) (5.5/1 +27%) Windseeker
5.5
5.5/1(+27%)
(3) Windseeker 5.5/1, 13/2, made all in 6-runner minor event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Open to further progress, so needs considering on his handicap debut in his hat-trick bid.
8
(8) (6/1 -20%) The Cookstown Cafu
6
6/1(-20%)
(8) The Cookstown Cafu 6/1, Fair maiden who posted good third of 11 in handicap at York (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Considered.
6
(6) (6.5/1 +35%) Baileysgutfeeling
6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(6) Baileysgutfeeling 6.5/1, Resumed with good third of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 30 days ago. One for the shortlist.
9
(9) (12/1 +25%) Liamarty Dreams
12
12/1(+25%)
(9) Liamarty Dreams 12/1, Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap (40/1) at York (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago, running on. Could be in the mix.
7
(7) (14/1 +30%) Roman Dragon
14
14/1(+30%)
(7) Roman Dragon 14/1, Fair 6f winner for Tom Dascombe but only sixth of 7 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) when last seen 6 months ago. Wouldn't totally rule out on return.
5
(5) (22/1 -83%) Robasta
22
22/1(-83%)
(5) Robasta 22/1, 11/1 and tongue strap on, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Should strip fitter now.
4
(4) (33/1 +0%) Flash The Dash
33
33/1(+0%)
(4) Flash The Dash 33/1, Arrives below par, only sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 14 days ago. More needed.

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.
