In a competitive contest marginal preference goes to ARRANMORE, who has been edging towards a fifth career victory of late. The six-year-old has been shaping as if this step up in trip may suit and, considering his dam won over this distance, he gets the nod. At Liberty was repeatedly denied a clear run at Yarmouth last time and demands respect off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Despite hanging in the closing stages, Mr Marvlos took a step forward to finish second also at Yarmouth earlier this month and is worth considering off a 1lb lower mark.

BUNKER BAY had his run of placed efforts ended in a big field at Newbury recently but the way he travelled through the race suggested he's still in good form and with the drop back in trip holding no fears, this could be the day he gets off the mark equipped with a first-time visor. At Liberty shaped better than the bare result at Yarmouth and is feared. Giovanni Baglione can also feature.

The Michael Bell-trained AT LIBERTY enjoyed no luck in running when an unplaced favourite at Yarmouth last time and is taken to score.

Charlie Appleby boasts an impressive strike-rate with his juveniles at this venue in the last five years and STAR OF MYSTERY can add another win to that tally. The daughter of Kodiac is a half-sister to the Grade 1 winner Althiqa and gets the nod to shed the maiden tag after giving a good account when runner-up at Doncaster on debut. Elinor Dashwood cost 210,000gns as a yearling and demands the utmost respect on her first racecourse appearance. Luna Catena's dam was a winner as a juvenile and she completes the shortlist.

STAR OF MYSTERY makes plenty of appeal on paper and showed lots to work on when runner-up on debut in a Doncaster maiden 12 days ago. Very much the type to improve, she can build on that run and come out on top. Al Hujaija and Elinor Dashwood are interesting newcomers from good yards and demand market attention for clues.

Godolphin filly STAR OF MYSTERY was a promising second on her recent debut at Doncaster and her fine pedigree suggests she'll improve.

Impressive Act was by no means disgraced when third at Leicester last time out and may be able to take a step forward. However, the son of Dubawi is yet to get off the mark after two racecourse appearances and it may pay dividends to look elsewhere. With that in mind, preference goes to IRISH NECTAR, who gave a good account when fourth on debut at Hamilton. His dam was a useful sprinter as a two-year-old and the Kevin Ryan-trained colt can get off the mark at the second time of asking. Good Point is another to consider.

Despite things not going ideally from an early stage, there was plenty to like about IRISH NECTAR's debut fourth at Hamilton and with progress anticipated, he's fancied to build on that and come out on top. Impressive Act was rather underwhelming at Leicester last time but can get back on track with the drop to 5f expected to hold no fears. All Is Fair and Bluey's Boy are a couple of newcomers to note.

A chance is taken on the newcomer ALL IS FAIR, who is bred to be precocious, with fellow debutant Good Point second choice.

An interesting contest in which Rum Cocktail could go close following a promising third on both her seasonal and stable debut at Ascot last month. She is rated 1lb lower following that run, but preference is for BRIAN THE SNAIL. The nine-year-old steps up in class following a facile success at Ripon earlier this month and he looks capable of defying a 4lb penalty for that win. Others of interest include recent C&D runner-up Dandy Dinmont and The Dunkirk Lads.

Plenty with chances but there was a lot to like about the reappearance run of VADAMIAH at Musselburgh so Paul Midgley's well-weighted filly gets the vote. Brian The Snail is feared most under a 4 lb penalty for his easy Ripon success, although The Dunkirk Lads and Dandy Dinmont need factoring in too.

The 9yo BRIAN THE SNAIL (nap) quickened for a comfortable win at Ripon last Wednesday and should take some stopping if in the same form

This represents a drop in class for MATCH PLAY and Paul Midgley's inmate must hold every chance of improving on his most recent run over this trip at York. He was only narrowly denied off 1lb lower at Carlisle last August, when trained by Kevin Ryan, and he gets a tentative vote from Paddy's Day, who won at Lingfield in March and will relish this quicker surface after struggling on soft ground at Nottingham last time. The unexposed Herakles also warrants a market check.

MATCH PLAY has shown promise in 2 highly competitive 5f sprints this year and looks well worth siding with at this lower level. Herakles is better than he could show here last time and is second choice ahead of Gustav Ucicky.

Having been up there for a long way at York last time, MATCH PLAY gets the nod in this less competitive race.

20:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Trais Fluors has the ability to figure at this level but his tendency to fluff the start is a concern at a course where those who race prominently can do well. Therefore, BOBBY DASSLER, who made all to win at Nottingham 16 days ago, looks a more solid option on this occasion. A 3lb higher mark looks very fair and another big run can be expected. Olympicus has a likable pedigree and is warrants a betting check on his handicap/stable debut.

TRAIS FLUORS snapped a long losing run at Goodwood recently and, officially 4 lb 'well-in' with no penalty to shoulder, he will take plenty of stopping. Fellow last-time-out winner Bobby Dassler gets the nod ahead of Roman Dynasty and Irish import Olympicus for forecast purposes.

The 9yo TRAIS FLUORS escapes a penalty for last Friday's apprentice handicap win at Goodwood and can go in again.

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

Vegas Jack and Different Tone are unexposed as handicappers and warrant betting checks, while Blue Yonder has done very little wrong lately and is a serious contender. Nevertheless, there was a lot to like about the manner in which ARKENSTAAR stayed on to land a brace of wins over 1m1f at Hamilton last month and he looks more competitively weighted off only 2lb higher than his latest success.

DIFFERENT TONE improved and caught the eye when second at Salisbury last time so, with further progress expected, he gets the narrow vote over the hat-trick seeking Arkenstaar. Blue Yonder is also a player.

Blue Yonder is due to go up another 4lb and he is second choice to DIFFERENT TONE who brings potential.

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.
