Manila Scouse

1.75
1.75/1(+36%)
(5) Manila Scouse 1.75/1, Been luckless not to have been successful so far this season, again hitting the crossbar at York last weekend. Remains of interest.
Banging at the door this year and ran a screamer at York last weekend; big player again.

2nd (7) Sheikh Maz Mahood (2.25/1 +63%)
Sheikh Maz Mahood

2.25
2.25/1(+63%)
(7) Sheikh Maz Mahood 2.25/1, Much improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 15/2) on return and shaped as if still in good form when seventh in valuable handicap at the Curragh. Should go well.
Good strike-rate in handicaps and this race is weaker than latest; one to take seriously.

Copper Knight

(3) Copper Knight 11/1, Bounced back to form when taking 18-runner handicap at York (5f, good, 11/1) and backed that up when narrowly defying a penalty (effectively only 1 lb higher) at Pontefract the following week. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.
Chasing a hat-trick after 5f wins at York & Pontefract last month; still feasibly weighted.

7.5/1(+66%)
(9) Ramon Di Loria 7.5/1, Narrow winner at Carlisle in May off 1 lb lower. However, last 2 starts have been poor, so bit to prove now. Engaged 7.00 Hamilton Saturday.
Should get strong pace that suits but others have with less to prove; runs 7.00 Saturday.

Murbih

50
50/1(-79%)
(10) Murbih 50/1, All 3 victories gained on AW, the latest at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Well beaten twice on turf earlier this term and merely ticking over back on artificial surfaces in recent weeks. Others preferred.
0-11 on turf and he was well beaten in his one run on soft; others look much safer.

6th (2) Dare To Hope (12/1 +0%)
Dare To Hope

12
12/1(+0%)
(2) Dare To Hope 12/1, Bordering on useful as a 2-y-o, ending the campaign with excellent third in York nursery (6f). However, probably best watched dropped back to 5f after 11 months off.
Promising at two but this looks a warm race for his return; unraced on slower than good.

Papa Don't Preach

20
20/1(-25%)
(8) Papa Don't Preach 20/1, Capitalised on a falling mark at Newcastle in January though good run of form came to a halt at York last time. Type to bounce back.
Conditions should suit but he's been hit and miss since an AW win in January.
6
8th (6) Twilight Madness (14/1 -27%)
Twilight Madness

14
14/1(-27%)
(6) Twilight Madness 14/1, Good effort at Epsom on return but hasn't really gone on since, fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.
Not at his best last time but on a good mark and these conditions should suit.

9th (4) Miss Brazen (12/1 -50%)
Miss Brazen

12
12/1(-50%)
(4) Miss Brazen 12/1, Dual winner for Karl Burke last season and built on encouraging yard debut run with an impressive success at Beverley in May. Good efforts in defeat next 2 starts but needs to shrug off a below-par display at Doncaster.
Flopped last time; earlier progressive form (including on soft) brings her right into it.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The veteran Copper Knight has rolled back the years with successive wins but has edged up the handicap as a result and may now prove vulnerable. Manila Scouse has to go on the shortlist following a near-miss at York last time out, but any value here may lie with MISS BRAZEN. The Michael & David Easterby-trained filly was an impressive winner at Beverley when last presented with soft ground and she is much better than she showed at Doncaster last time when starting awkwardly.

Plenty to consider with the vote going to SHEIKH MAZ MAHOOD, who will find this easier than the race he contested at the Curragh 5 weeks ago. Copper Knight remains on a good mark as he bids for the hat-trick so is the obvious threat, while Manila Scouse will surely be winning again before too long.

Copper Knight and Manila Scouse are feared but there could be more to come from SHEIKH MAZ MAHOOD on slow ground.

Forever Blue

3
3/1(-33%)
(5) Forever Blue 3/1, Foaled April 9. 80,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 1m-9.5f winner Savrola and winner abroad by Kingman. Yard firing in the winners, including newcomers, and she's appealing on debut even against the boys.
80,000gns half-sister to 2 winners; stamina on the dam's side, so 6f may be too sharp?.

100,000euros 2yo; dam a 5f-7f winner (RPR 83; handled soft ground); check the betting.

£32,000 yearling; dam a maiden sister to a Group 2 winner; yard's 2yos quiet this season.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Haydock Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Richard Fahey's yard is running hot right now and RAINWATER looks a likely type to enhance the yard's impressive juvenile strike-rate. A half-brother to the Group 3 winner Ventura Rebel, the son of Mayson holds a valuable sales race entry later in the year and should take some stopping as long as the market vibes aren't negative. Amroon is a Showcasing colt who has to be considered given that his sales price has twice risen incrementally, while Ralph Beckett's filly Forever Blue changed hands for 80,000 guineas and is also likely to have plenty to offer.

This could be a test for these newcomers and the aptly-named RAINWATER, who makes plenty of appeal on paper, could be the way to go for a yard going well with their 2-y-os. Forever Blue and Amroon are also interesting before market clues.

With no form to go on, the betting should be revealing. RAINWATER may prove best equipped to cope with today's test.

Dark Trooper

7
7/1(-110%)
(4) Dark Trooper 7/1, Still not fully exposed and got back on the up returned to sprinting when scoring at Yarmouth last time. Not all out there, so probably more to come.
Kept on well to win when dropped to 6f at Yarmouth latest; 3lb rise fair; ground a concern.

Be Proud

8.5
8.5/1(-89%)
(6) Be Proud 8.5/1, Right back in top form lately, scoring at Doncaster twice last month, the latter in a good time. Remains well treated on old form and likely to put up a bold bid for the hat-trick.
Chasing hat-trick after two Doncaster wins last month; conditions fine; still well treated.
3
3rd (3) Illusionist (7/1 +22%)
Illusionist

7
7/1(+22%)
(3) Illusionist 7/1, Now 2 lb lower than when successful at York last year and he ran his most encouraging race since his reappearance when fourth of 16 at Ayr on penultimate outing. Probably found latest run coming too soon and blinkers go back on.
Below par at Hamilton last time and 6f on soft ground might prove too much of a test.
9
4th (9) Minnesota Lad (1.5/1 +81%)
Minnesota Lad

1.5
1.5/1(+81%)
(9) Minnesota Lad 1.5/1, 12/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Well treated and could make his presence felt if things drop right. Engaged 3.55 Doncaster Saturday.
Beverley win one year ago (5f, good to firm); good 2nd at Doncaster yesterday; contender.
7
5th (7) Asadjumeirah (6.5/1 +0%)
Asadjumeirah

6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(7) Asadjumeirah 6.5/1, Consistent sort who wasted no time getting back to form when a strong-finishing second in a competitive event at York 9 days ago. Should get involved if the pace is sound.
2nd of 16 at York nine days ago; still has handicapping scope and promise on soft in April.
2
6th (2) Faro De San Juan (11/1 -10%)
Faro De San Juan

11
11/1(-10%)
(2) Faro De San Juan 11/1, 25/1-winner at Chester in June, his first victory for this yard. Poor efforts since, however, and others make more appeal.
6f Chester win in June; goes well on soft and feasibly treated; one for the shortlist.
8
7th (8) Impeller (5.5/1 +39%)
Impeller

5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(8) Impeller 5.5/1, Back on top when winning at Carlisle in July and has remained in form since. Faces a quick turnaround but should give his running once more.
In good form in recent weeks and conditions won't be an issue; each-way claims again.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The revitalised Be Proud, twice successful over 6f at Doncaster last month, is likely mount a strong hat-trick bid here but a 6lb rise might just leave him vulnerable in these conditions. Preference is for improving three-year-old DARK TROOPER, who doesn't look to have been over-penalised (3lb rise) for a cosy win at Yarmouth last time. Illusionist under-performed at Hamilton last time but was a ready winner when last seen in a class 4 handicap and goes well on an easy surface.

DARK TROOPER is unexposed as a sprinter and had a bit up his sleeve when scoring at Yarmouth, so he gets the nod over Be Proud, who has mounted a revival lately. Asadjumeirah produced a big effort at York recently, so he's likely to be involved if he turns up in the same mood.

Recent Doncaster one-two BE PROUD and Impeller may be the pair to focus on and the selection can confirm his superiority.

In The Breeze

12
12/1(-60%)
(6) In The Breeze 12/1, Upped his game to score over 11.8f here in May but seemed to find a shorter trip inadequate at Windsor next time and this is an even sharper test.
Runner-up on heavy in 2021 but disappointing on it once this April; competitive recently.

Auld Toon Loon

(2) Auld Toon Loon 4/1, Off the mark at Lingfield (10f) in June and improved on that form when taking 8-runner handicap at Chester (10.3f, heavy) 22 days ago, well on top finish. 4 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.
Registered a gritty, clearcut win at Chester (1m2f, soft; unraced on heavy) on latest run.

(4) Derry Lad 3.2/1, Better than ever lately, scoring at Hamilton and following up despite being easy to back at Pontefract 42 days ago. Should go well again as he bids for the hat-trick.
Second at Navan (1m2f, heavy) preceded wins at Hamilton (1m3f ) and Pontefract (1m4f).

Wind Your Neck In

6
6/1(-9%)
(3) Wind Your Neck In 6/1, Well treated and got back on track when runner-up at Sandown 10 days ago. Handles conditions well, so should be involved.
Second of 11 at Sandown (1m2f, soft) ten days ago puts him back into serious calculations.

Leitzel

16
16/1(-45%)
(9) Leitzel 16/1, Winner of first 2 starts here last season but hasn't kicked on. Slightly better signs at Ascot last time, so could get involved if she gets the trip.
Made a step back in the right direction last time but needs to build on that substantially.
10
6th (10) Three Yorkshiremen (3.33/1 +58%)
Three Yorkshiremen

3.33

(10) Three Yorkshiremen 3.33/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 8/13) 3 days ago. Faces a much stiffer assignment under a penalty on the back of a quick turnaround.
8-13 when off the mark in a novice (heavy) on Thursday; penalty demands a career best.
7
7th (7) Monteria (80/1 -142%)
Monteria

80
80/1(-142%)
(7) Monteria 80/1, Won at Windsor in May but has broken slowly and failed to beat a rival on both subsequent starts, so he's hard to make a case for.
1m2f win on soft in May; usually slowly away and badly overdid it last time.
1
8th (1) Spirit Of The Bay (16/1 +11%)
Spirit Of The Bay

16
16/1(+11%)
(1) Spirit Of The Bay 16/1, Better than ever when landing a 7-runner handicap over C&D in May. Not in the same form at Sandown twice subsequently, but first-time blinkers and return to this track both in his favour.
C&D win in May; well below form on both starts since and now tries different headgear.

9th (8) Bringbackmemories (9/1 -20%)

(8) Bringbackmemories 9/1, Back to winning ways over C&D in June and posted solid efforts both starts since, latest when second of 10 in handicap (3/1) at York (11.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again.
Doing well recently, not on ground this testing but he had a hurdle win on soft in January.
11

Kingsley Pride

22
22/1(+0%)
(11) Kingsley Pride 22/1, Very well-bred but unreliable maiden, missed the break and failed to feature at Newmarket 8 days ago. Others make more appeal.
Acts on heavy; back in some form on last two starts but others have more pressing claims.
5
11th (5) Ring Of Beara (33/1 -50%)
Ring Of Beara

33
33/1(-50%)
(5) Ring Of Beara 33/1, Looked potentially very useful and, while he didn't fire last term (left Richard Hughes prior to final outing), he's shown some signs of life over hurdles since and he returns on a handy mark.
Minor honours hurdling, not setting the world alight; bit to prove but down the weights.
LTO Selection:

17:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

THREE YORKSHIREMEN kept on well over shorter to win easily by over five lengths at Nottingham on Thursday and if he is fully recovered from those efforts, he may be able to shrug off his 6lb penalty while the going remains in his favour. Auld Toon Loon also arrives on the back of a clear-cut victory at Chester and he looks a serious danger off just 4lb higher, while the Easterby family have won both runnings of this contest, suggesting Ring Of Beara could surprise a few on his return to action.

AULD TOON LOON is progressive and had something in hand when winning at Chester 22 days ago, so he's marginally preferred to hat-trick seeker Derry Lad. Wind Your Neck In goes well in testing conditions, so he's also expected to feature.

Auld Toon Loon is not passed over easily but the improving DERRY LAD has followed a heavy-ground second with two wins.

Soundly beaten so far but bred to improve for the step up in trip on nursery debut.

Second of four over 6f on nursery debut; dam's side of pedigree suggests 7f will be a plus.

Won C&D novice on soft ground a fortnight ago; solid contender on first nursery start.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Paladin may prove popular here for Charlie Johnston after winning over C&D last month, but he was all out to get back up after being passed that day and this looks tougher. NELLIE LEYLAX has encountered soft ground twice in his four starts, winning both of them and the latest by over three lengths in a class 2 novice at Doncaster 15 days ago. He has top-weight here but deservedly so, and there may be more to come, while Beyond Borders and Watcha Matey could fight it out for third.

NELLIE LEYLAX made it 2 wins from 4 starts when making all at Doncaster last time, confirming his effectiveness on soft ground, and he can continue his progress to make a successful handicap debut. Paladin opened his account at this C&D on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Watcha Matey.

Richard Fahey has enjoyed success with the the family of BRANDAISY, who looks a likely improver now up in trip on nursery debut.

Disappointing at Newbury but this lightly raced C&D winner could bounce back with bold bid.

(3) No Nay Nicki 5/1, Attracted support but failed to build on her previous efforts this season when fifth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good) 9 days ago, despite having every chance. However, she's dropped further in the weights as a result, so she's capable of getting involved.
Has often run well in defeat in the last two seasons and might not be far away.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Three-year-olds have won both runnings of this contest and that may continue here if C&D winner RAIMUNDA continues to progress. Heavy ground saw her get off the mark at the third attempt here last month by three lengths after being sent to the front two out, and a mark of 77 seems fair enough judged on that form. Nigiri is worth another try at this trip after winning over a furlong shorter here but she was given an added 7lb for that victory, so Iato's Angel looks the one for the forecast on her first start for new connections.

NIGIRI took a step forward when winning in good style on handicap debut at this course 16 days ago and, with further improvement to come, she can follow up returned to this longer trip. Raimunda also arrives on the back of an easy C&D success and isn't taken lightly now handicapping, while No Nay Nicki also merits consideration.

The 3yo NIGIRI looked a filly to follow when winning comfortably over 7f here last month and she can make it 2-2 in handicaps.

Zimmerman

16
16/1(+0%)
(4) Zimmerman 16/1, Largely consistent, but his effort flattened out in the closing stages when stepped up to 2m at York last weekend and this looks sure to provide a stiffer test at the trip.
Best on softer than good but unraced on heavy; 2m a concern, as shown again eight days ago.

Cinnodin

3.33/1(+17%)
(10) Cinnodin 3.33/1, Progressive 3-y-o who scored nicely when stepped up to 2m for the first time at Newbury (good to soft) 10 days ago. Definitely more to come as his stamina is drawn out and can defy the handicapper again.
3yo with four handicap wins, the latest over 2m on soft; thorough stayer.

Nathanael Greene

4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(1) Nathanael Greene 4.5/1, Useful handicapper who won here last season. Fine fourth of 19 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) at the beginning of July and not disgraced in another warm race at Newbury since. Acts on soft. Tongue tied first time. Much respected in this lower grade.
Big win on soft here last July over 1m6f in first cheekpieces; tongue-tie added today.

4.5/1(+40%)
(11) Miss Cynthia 4.5/1, Has improved when runner-up in 1¾m handicaps at Yarmouth and Sandown (both good ground) in recent months. Unproven in the mud but she does leave the impression that 2m will suit.
2nd over 1m6f on last two starts; 2m may suit but she faces very different ground.

12/1(+25%)
(6) Mister Camacho 12/1, Belatedly got off the mark in impressive fashion when scoring by 7½ lengths at Catterick (1¾m, heavy) in April. Hasn't reproduced that on a sounder surface since but could fare better now returning to the mud.
Stays 2m2f but form claims rest on a wide-margin win at Catterick (1m6f, soft) in April.

6th (2) Geremia (8/1 -23%)
Geremia

8
8/1(-23%)
(2) Geremia 8/1, Habitual slow starter but he is proving consistent, picking up second win of the campaign when getting on top late in the day at Ayr (13f) last month. Creditable 4¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Sweet William in 2m Newbury handicap since. Should figure if he doesn't lose too much ground at start.
Won over 1m5f at Hamilton and Ayr (soft) this season and ran well in defeat twice at 2m.

7th (9) Nobody Told Me (9/1 +18%)
Nobody Told Me

9/1(+18%)
(9) Nobody Told Me 9/1, Winner at Doncaster (soft) in April. Bounced straight back from a lesser effort on AW when third at Hamilton (13f, soft) 22 days ago. Steps up 3f in trip now.
Acts on soft; a close, never-nearer third at Hamilton (1m5f) latest; unraced beyond that.

8th (12) Billy Bathgate (80/1 -220%)
Billy Bathgate

80/1(-220%)
(12) Billy Bathgate 80/1, Finally got off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Ayr (13f, firm, 7/2) in June but not in the same form on Newcastle's AW since and he's 2 lb out of the weights in this.
1-25 strike-rate; he's not proved himself with the trip or ground; not the percentage call.
5
9th (5) Justus (14/1 -27%)
Justus

14
14/1(-27%)
(5) Justus 14/1, French maiden winner who opened his account in this country when taking Doncaster handicap (16.5f, heavy) in April. Might have just needed the outing after 11 weeks off (had wind op) when eighth of 10 at Sandown 11 days ago and respected with ground conditions in his favour.
Easy win on soft from the front at Doncaster (2m) in April; wind op before latest start.
8
10th (8) Kalamity Kitty (12/1 +25%)
Kalamity Kitty

12
12/1(+25%)
(8) Kalamity Kitty 12/1, Winner of all 3 starts of a truncated 2022 campaign and proved that her ability remains intact following 13 months off when fifth in 2m Kempton handicap in June. Should be sharper now but her ability to handle deep ground has to be taken on trust.
Potential at 2m+; unraced on worse than good to soft; bolted before start eight days ago.
7
11th (7) Pyramid Place (7.5/1 -7%)
Pyramid Place

7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(7) Pyramid Place 7.5/1, In good form hurdling this summer, winning twice over 2¾m. First Flat start for over 3 years but this mark may not be beyond him judged on the level of his hurdle form. Has won on heavy in that sphere.
Four AW Flat runs in the winter of 2019-2020; success as a hurdler gives significant hope.

18:45 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CINNODIN unlocked further potential when regaining the winning thread over a similar trip at Newbury last Thursday and Richard Hughes' gelding could make light work of a 4lb rise if in the same mood today. Nathanael Greene has posted some creditable efforts in defeat this season, particularly his fourth in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in early July, and the four-year-old is feared most in these calmer waters. Geremia and Miss Cynthia are others to consider at this level.

CINNODIN is a 3-y-o heading firmly in the right direction and can make it 5-7 since switching to handicaps. This represents a drop in class for former course winner Nathanael Greene who is second choice ahead of Justus, who gets similar ground as when scoring by a wide margin at Doncaster in the spring.

It's a strong field but CINNODIN (nap)'s 2m win on soft last time confirmed his great strength in stamina. He makes plenty of appeal.

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.
