(1) Yabher , Sea The Stars half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Al Mubhir and 1m winner Dubawi Warrior. Dam smart winner up to 9f. 33/1, perfect start when taking 11-runner maiden at Doncaster over this trip (good) 5 weeks ago, taking keen hold but edging a 3-way finish. Sure to improve and the one to beat.
Narrowly beat a solid yardstick at Doncaster; the clear form pick, even with 7lb penalty.

Soundly beaten at Redcar having been friendless in the betting.

(6) Minella Boss , €55,000 Golden Horn gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1m winner Dream Ascot, from the family of Derby winner Motivator and high-class winner up to 13.4f Macarthur. 12/1, shaped well behind runaway Ballydoyle winner in 8.4f Galway maiden on debut a month ago. Sure to improve.
Irish runner; showed promise with his second to easy winner at Galway; open to improvement.
LTO Selection:

13:45 Haydock Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas is finishing off the turf season strongly and sends out YABHER with a good chance of adding to a promising debut win over 1m at Doncaster last month. He showed a willingness to dig deep on that occasion, and a repeat effort could suffice. Irish raider Minella Boss and Cangofar were both well beaten on their first starts, so Alan King's newcomer King Al won't need to be anything special to go well.

YABHER made a winning start at Doncaster 5 weeks ago, looking a good prospect, and can make it 2-2 before having his sights raised. Minella Boss is the danger after his promising Galway second.

Having won a deeper race at the Doncaster St Leger meeting, YABHER looks capable of defying a penalty. Minella Boss is feared most.

11/4(+17%)
(7) Cashlyn Cavalier 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden who only narrowly failed to open his account in 9-runner nursery at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and holds strong claims.
Nearly justified strong market support at Musselburgh on handicap debut; respected.

(2) Timefall 3/1, Won 7f maiden at Newmarket in July and good third in nursery over same C&D next time. Rather ran off her feet in Doncaster sales race since and could resume progress here.
Respectable eighth in Doncaster sales race last time; enters calculations.

(4) Lovely Spirit 9/2, Off the mark at Musselburgh (7.1f) in August and found further improvement when good second of 9 in nursery at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Shortlist material.
Good effort at Ayr took her form figures to 33212; looks a solid contender.

Off the mark in AW nursery two weeks ago; 6lb rise demands further progress.

(8) Methgal 5/1, Acquitted himself in all 3 starts thus far, latest when third of 11 in novice (4/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Warrants respect on handicap debut.
Return to 7f looks a plus; possibilities, provided he takes well to headgear.

Has a standout performance (maiden win); gelded since last run; not a solid option.

Pivotal Days

12
12/1(+14%)
(9) Pivotal Days 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who has failed to beat a rival home in a couple of nursery starts. Something to prove at present.
Needs improvement on nursery efforts but this drop back to 7f may help.
LTO Selection:

14:20 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LOVELY SPIRIT has yet to finish out of the money and that consistency earns the daughter of Invincible Spirit the vote. She broke her maiden when upped to this trip at Musselburgh two starts ago, and was far from disgraced when second at Ayr most recently. Cashlyn Cavalier and Karl Carlston can give the selection the most to think about.

CASHLYN CAVALIER took another step forward when runner-up at Musselburgh earlier this month and remains fairly treated. He can open his account. Lovely Spirit and Karl Carlston can also make their presence felt.

Musselburgh runner-up CASHLYN CAVALIER is taken to show further progress and go one better. Reddeef is second choice.

(5) Nebrook Dream 11/4, Improved to make a winning nursery debut at Leicester (I6f, heavy) in a first-time headgear combination last week. Should go well under a 6 lb penalty.
Needs to overcome penalty (1lb lower in future) but could well build on the Leicester win.

(6) Mamma Maria 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in novice (20/1) at Yarmouth (6f, firm) 30 days ago. Interesting nursery newcomer for top connections.
Looks the type to do better now handicapping; interesting.

(4) Forteleza 5/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when narrowly denied on her 6f Redcar nursery debut 23 days ago, with the reopposing Herecomesthebear back in third. Cheekpieces added. Should play a prominent role if coping with this more testing ground.
Has shown steady improvement; neck second at Redcar most recently; strong contender.

Won on heavy ground in August; ties in closely with Forteleza on latest effort; player.

(8) Sabrimento 15/2, Modest maiden who ran his best race in nurseries when fourth of 10 at Bath (5.7f, soft) 17 days ago but more will be needed for win purposes here.
Sneaked into the frame at Bath last time, posting his best handicap effort.

Inconsistent results over 5f; possibilities if helped by new trip.

12/1(+14%)
(1) Jayvee 12/1, Winner on 5f Beverley debut (good to soft) in April but hasn't progressed since, albeit very highly tried on occasions. This more realistic with first-time blinkers added.
Returns to a realistic level for first time since debut win; not ruled out.

(7) Captain Pickles 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 10 in nursery at Chester (7f, soft, 22/1) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive.
Far from solid on form; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This course could bring the best out of FORTELEZA, who has shown a tendency to race on the front and appeals after a solid display when second on her nursery debut at Redcar last month. The daughter of Zoustar looks worth chancing with first-time cheekpieces added for this wide-open event. Station X is notable with Sean D Bowen able to utilise his 3lb claim, while Nebrook Dream, a heavy-ground winner at Leicester, also commands respect under a 6lb penalty.

NEBROOK DREAM saw off an in-form rival when scoring on similarly deep ground at Leicester last week and a 6 lb penalty may not stop him if in similar form. A market move for William Haggas nursery newcomer Mamma Maria would make her a possible big threat, while Forteleza should also be on the premises if translating last month's Redcar form to this softer surface.

The way she's going, FORTELEZA appears set to improve another place and get off the mark. Herecomesthebear is second choice.

Trilby

11/8(+27%)
(4) Trilby 11/8, Three 6f wins this year, including on heavy. Showed he's still very much at the top of his game when second of 12 at York a week ago and another bold showing is on the cards.
Two wins at Haydock this season; ran well at York last week; due to go up 1lb in future.

Did well to finish a close third at Redcar last time; on a workable mark; major player.

Moonstone Boy

(2) Moonstone Boy 6/1, Successful twice at Hamilton in August and ran well there on penultimate outing. Poorly drawn when down the field at York last time and shouldn't be written off.

(3) Never Dark 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. 16/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 2 days ago. Not the most consistent but booking of Tom Marquand looks significant.
Won at Hamilton last month; still well treated on peak form; fifth at Nottingham Wednesday.

Secret Mistral

(8) Secret Mistral 8/1, Resumed from five months off with a career best in landing a 13-runner C&D handicap (5f, good) in June and has remained in top form since, having the draw as an excuse at Chester last time. Respected.
Generally consistent this term, mostly at Haydock, including June win; could go well.

(1) Angel Shared 14/1, Completed a 5f hat-trick when seeing off 8 rivals at Carlisle at the end of May. Has found life tougher up further in the weights since, down the field at Newmarket last time. Others preferred.
Still above last winning mark; return to 5f and booking of Rossa Ryan are positives.

(7) Count D'orsay 16/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when landing 12-runner handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft) in September. Not in the same form at Ripon subsequently but that race may have come too soon.
Last three wins at Chester; below form last time; not the percentage call.
LTO Selection:

15:30 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 5f  Race Class Flow

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

TRILBY has occupied the runner-up spot on each of his last two starts, with the latest of those coming at York a week ago. He'll need a strong pace to aim at, but he may get just that with the likes of Angel Shared and Secret Mistral in here. The Twilight Son gelding will have no problems with the ground and he can earn a richly-deserved success. Seantrabh was an eye-catching third at Redcar recently and ought to have every chance from 1lb higher, while Moonstone Boy should not be underestimated.

SEANTRABH did well to finish third from an unfavourable draw at Redcar last time and, from a lenient mark, he's worth siding with. Trilby has been holding his form admirably this season and ran with credit in a more competitive race than this at York a week ago, so he's regarded as a big danger, while Secret Mistral isn't without hope either.

In-form TRILBY (nap) has a good chance of gaining a third Haydock success and first over 5f. Seantrabh is feared most.

Record is 3-9; scored at Windsor on last attempt in this grade; one to consider.

Useful 3yo who won a series final at Kempton last time; now 2-4 in cheekpieces.

Better than ever in C&D contest (soft) on penultimate start; respected back here.

Raced mainly on AW; something to prove on debut for new stable.
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.

Irish raider Mercurial was just touched off at Roscommon on Monday and he should be a real threat under Sean D Bowen. Drama, who won at Kempton last month, has yet to prove himself on soft ground, but his pedigree suggests conditions should be fine and he can mount another stern challenge off 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to HYPERFOCUS, who finished sixth in the Coral Sprint Trophy at York on Saturday and looks to hold excellent credentials.

MERCURIAL revels in these underfoot conditions and was better than ever at Roscommon on Monday, so he looks primed for a very bold bid. Drama bagged a nice pot on the AW last time and is a huge threat if carrying on the good work to turf, with Hyperfocus also of interest down in class.

Topweight WOVEN gets the vote returned to Haydock. Irish challenger Mercurial is second choice.

Not disgraced in a stronger race at Ascot since so not taken lightly.

Ex-French; beaten about 10l at Hamilton on British debut when 25-1; best watched.

Combination of return to testing ground and first-time headgear may have positive effect.
LTO Selection:

16:40 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

On The River escapes a penalty having landed an apprentice handicap at York last Friday and he is of significant interest. Firebrand, who won a maiden at Roscommon on Monday, is another to consider pitched into handicaps, but the verdict is for PEARL EYE. The four-year-old acts on testing ground and boasts figures of 3-6 over this course and distance.

ON THE RIVER escapes a penalty for his victory at York last week so is the obvious one, with Pearl Eye another to consider back in a handicap.

The withdrawal of Bullet Point leaves the door open for ON THE RIVER to follow up his York win. Firebrand is feared most.

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.
