East Street

0.571429
4/7(+31%)
(1) East Street 4/7, Pulled up on first outing for current yard, but in change of headgear (visor applied) has left that effort behind in 2 starts since, completing a quick-fire double in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, soft) 3 days ago. Leading claims back hurdling.
Easy winner of his last two chases and well handicapped on this return to hurdling.

Kiss My Face

20
20/1(-150%)
(3) Kiss My Face 20/1, Resumed winning ways at Worcester in July and good effort when second at Bangor (23.2f, heavy) in October. Below-par effort at Exeter 16 days ago, but his profile over hurdles for current yard has largely been a positive one. Could bounce back.
Did go close at Bangor two runs back but it was a laboured effort at Exeter.

It's Maisy

6
6/1(+33%)
(7) It's Maisy 6/1, Landed a trio of handicaps last season, signing off with victory at Uttoxeter in April. After 6 months off, ran well upped in grade when sixth of 10 at Bangor (23.3f, heavy) in October and she can give another good account.
Handicapper may have caught up but Charlie Maggs returns here with his 3lb claim.

(10) Topkapi Star 22/1, Successful twice in 2022/23 and after 5 months off she bounced back to form when winning at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) in October. Task is now to back that up.
Just 2lb higher than for her Sedgefield win and this return to 3m should suit.
5
5th (5) Artic Mann (7/1 -17%)
Artic Mann

7
7/1(-17%)
(5) Artic Mann 7/1, Very consistent last season and deservedly got back to winning ways at Perth in May. Creditable effort after 5 months off when third of 6 at Kelso (25.8f, good to soft) in October and he can make his presence felt once more.
Perth winner in May and could have needed the race at Kelso (rallied for third).
2
6th (2) Polish (66/1 -32%)
Polish

66
66/1(-32%)
(2) Polish 66/1, Without a win since 2021 and hasn't offered much in 3 starts for current yard, well-beaten sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (23.7f, good) 19 days ago. Has dropped further in the weights but enough to prove at present.
Ex-Fergal O'Brien gelding who has offered little for his current yard; too much to prove.
4
7th (4) My Friend Yeats (25/1 -25%)
My Friend Yeats

25
25/1(-25%)
(4) My Friend Yeats 25/1, Point winner at the seventh attempt and bettered his hurdles debut effort when going close in a Cartmel novice (22.1f) in July. Respectable fifth of 9 sent handicapping at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) last time, but more needed up in trip.
This far is worth a go but bit to prove after a disappointing handicap debut.
6
8th (6) Atomic Angel (33/1 -175%)
Atomic Angel

33
33/1(-175%)
(6) Atomic Angel 33/1, Gained reward for a good spell when staying on for success at Hexham (23.3f) in May. Shaped as if still in form when sixth of 9 at Perth (26.6f, good to soft) 11 days later, so she's capable of getting involved (ran well on last season's return).
The cheekpieces had been working well until finishing well beaten at Hexham last time.

9th (9) Fainche (12/1 +40%)
Fainche

12
12/1(+40%)
(9) Fainche 12/1, Remains winless following 25 attempts but ended last term in good heart, runner-up in handicap at Newcastle (23.7f, heavy) in April. Shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off at Hexham 26 days ago, though others still more persuasive.
No wins in 25 and was tailed off at Hexham after a break; not the percentage call.

(8) C'est Quelqu'un 66/1, Recorded back-to-back handicap chase wins for Gordon Elliott last season but form has gone the wrong way since, faring no better over hurdles when well held at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft) on stable debut 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on.
Left Gordon Elliott for £2,500 and was tailed off on recent stable debut.

12:40 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Having supplemented his ready victory over fences at Wetherby with a facile triumph at Leicester on Sunday, it is hard to oppose EAST STREET reverting to timber. James Owen's gelding is off a 7lb lower mark than his latest success and is likely to taking all the beating if coping with another quick turnaround. It's Maisy is entitled to build on her reappearance at Bangor 36 days ago and she may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Topkapi Star.

In a change of headgear for his new yard, EAST STREET has quickly proved better than ever, defying a penalty with the minimum of fuss at Leicester 3 days ago, so he is the one to beat if taking up this engagement back over hurdles. The consistent Artic Mann is next on the list, ahead of Kiss My Face.

Even with today's change of discipline, it's hard to get away from the in-form and well-handicapped EAST STREET.

(3) White Rhino 7/2, Good strike rate over hurdles and took switch to chasing in his stride when landing 5-runner handicap at Ayr a month ago. Should be plenty more to come from him.
Progressive staying hurdler; winner on chase debut last month; likely improver; chance.

President Scottie

7/2(+22%)
(4) President Scottie 7/2, Ended last term on the up over hurdles, scoring at Ayr and Haydock before a very good fourth in 3m Ayr handicap in the spring. Has the potential to make a better chaser so he demands a second look.
Two wins over hurdles last term, the second over 3m here; interesting chase debutant.

(5) Heros De Romay 3/1, Well-bred bumper winner who showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut in maiden at Chepstow (19.5f) a year ago. Wasn't able to repeat that effort in his 2 subsequent outings but goes well fresh and is one to note as he makes chase/handicap bow.
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2023; likely to fare even better now going chasing..

(2) Whatdeawant 28/1, Pretty useful novice hurdler for Willie Mullins during 2021/22 campaign, best effort when third in the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival. Has never stood much racing and he looked rusty on handicap/stable debut at Kelso in May. Off since.
Ex-Willie Mullins; bumper/hurdle winner; decent 3rd in a chase on stable debut; a possible.

Walking On Air

66
66/1(-164%)
(1) Walking On Air 66/1, Dual-winning hurdler who posted a career best when runner-up on Newbury chase debut last December. Disappointed over hurdles in February (final start for Nicky Henderson) and low-key start for new yard when pulled up returned to chasing at Stratford in October. Tongue tie fitted.
Ex-Henderson; useful hurdler; good 2nd on chase debut; sold £44,000 in May; bit to prove.

(6) Beneficially Yours 9/4, £80,000 purchase after winning his only start in Irish points and justified favouritism in a maiden/novice over 20.3f at Newcastle during the spring. Good chase prospect.
Irish point winner; won twice over hurdles in the spring; interesting sort for chasing.

13:10 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Having made a winning chase bow at Ayr on his seasonal debut last month, White Rhino likely has more to come in this discipline. The eight-year-old warrants respect off a 5lb higher mark, but the hat-trick seeking BENEFICIALLY YOURS is slightly more compelling. Donald McCain's charge scored on his sole outing between the flags in Ireland and a mark of 120 on his first attempt over the larger obstacles may prove lenient. Heros De Romay could fare best of the remainder.

This looks a strong race for the field size with WHITE RHINO the percentage call having made a seamless transition to fences at Ayr a month ago. Chase newcomers Beneficially Yours, President Scottie and Heros de Romay all have something to recommend them, though.

An interesting race in which WHITE RHINO (nap) is taken to make it 2-2 over fences. President Scottie looks his main danger.

Ski Lodge

2.75
11/4(+31%)
(7) Ski Lodge 11/4, Useful form when making second start in bumpers a winning one at Chepstow in January. Went with more promise than bare result might imply after 10 months off when seventh of 15 in Ffos Las maiden hurdle 24 days ago and he's a likely improver stepping up in trip.
May have needed the run on hurdling debut and he's open to progress upped in trip.

Won Irish point in February before being sold for £105,000; interesting on rules debut.
2
3rd (2) Grand Geste (15/2 +46%)
Grand Geste

7.5
15/2(+46%)
(2) Grand Geste 15/2, Down the field in 2 bumpers but left previous hurdling exploits in his wake when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f) 6 weeks ago, headed dying strides. A repeat gives him sound claims of getting involved.
Nearly caused a 200-1 shock at Carlisle and he's not ruled out on this step up to 3m.

(5) Martin Plage 6/1, Didn't kick on in bumpers but bright start after 7 months off when fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 49 days ago. Now he needs to build on that effort.
Not beaten far on hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m3f); in the mix if he can build on that.
6

Shadow Chaser

50
50/1(-100%)
(6) Shadow Chaser 50/1, Point winner who was third in a 19f Cork bumper for John Gleeson and has shown a bit in a trio of novice hurdles in the North this autumn. However, handicaps promise to be more his thing.
Well held in three hurdle runs for new yard this season and remains best watched for now.

Subtle Fortune

(11) Subtle Fortune 20/1, Successful twice in points since a low-key effort only start in bumpers but well held sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, soft, 25/1) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Needs to step up a good deal on that if she's to figure.
2-5 in points but was long way behind Carrig Kate on recent hurdling debut (2m7f).

0-13 in Irish points and is best watched on this switch to hurdling; hood added.

Balking

(1) Balking 50/1, Showed ability when fourth only start in bumpers and stepped up on hurdles debut when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 15 days ago, not knocked about. However, handicaps promise to be more his bag moving forward.
Well held in both hurdle runs this autumn and he's probably more of a handicap prospect.

Eyecatcher in sole bumper but was pulled up at 125-1 on hurdling debut last month.

13:40 Haydock Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Having filled the runner-up berth over hurdles at Stratford and Bangor in recent months, a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon for CARRIG KATE. The daughter of Westerner appears to have been found a weaker contest and she edges the vote over Grand Geste. The five-year-old almost caused a huge upset when second at Carlisle in October and he isn't taken lightly. Market support for point winner Jo Coko on his Rules debut would be interesting.

Market support behind one of the newcomers would look significant but CARRIG KATE would likely have opened her account but for a final-flight blunder at Bangor 3 weeks ago and shades the vote to come out on top. Ski Lodge looks a likely improver following an encouraging hurdles debut run at Ffos Las and is feared. Of the newcomers, Star of Diamonds and Jo Coko look particularly interesting.

Preference is for heavy-ground point winner CARRIG KATE, who was only just caught in a 2m7f novice at Bangor three weeks ago.

(5) Royal Infantry 11/10, Point/bumper winner who opened his hurdling account in ready style at the first attempt in 9-runner novice at Chepstow 28 days ago. Has the scope for plenty of progress and looks the one to beat.
UK point winner; has since won two bumpers and Chepstow novice hurdle; contender.

(2) Crest Of Fortune 11/8, Related to several winners and made a successful start in Wincanton bumper in December. Good fifth at Newbury next time and returned with a comfortable success in a Ffos Las novice on hurdling debut. One to consider with more to come.
Bumper winner who won a Ffos Las novice hurdle last time; down in trip but a chance.

Circuit Breaker

7.5
15/2(-67%)
(1) Circuit Breaker 15/2, Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) who landed a 4-runner novice at Kempton with ease on hurdling debut. Much more required here but he's a definite player.
Dual Flat winner; bought 260,000gns; easy winner on hurdles debut; improvement likely.

40,000euros buy after winning Irish point in May; no easy task on hurdles/stable debut.

14:15 Haydock Conditions Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

CIRCUIT BREAKER made a strong impression when bolting up on his hurdling debut at Kempton in October and he might have plenty more to offer. The four-year-old was a good performer on the Flat and should have no issues with this drop in trip. Crest Of Fortune was successful in good style over 2m4f at Ffos Las last month and should mount a bold bid with Harry Cobden booked, while Royal Infantry is another to consider.

ROYAL INFANTRY is already building up an excellent strike rate and, following a bloodless success at Chepstow on hurdling debut, he's the most appealing in a race where all six can be given some sort of chance. Crest of Fortune looks the main danger ahead of Circuit Breaker.

A competitive race can go to ROYAL INFANTRY who has won a point, two bumpers and a Chepstow maiden hurdle.

Has run only once since winning 2022 Welsh National and no easy task after 627-day break.

14:45 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

GOOD BOY BOBBY put in an underwhelming display when well beaten into third at Sandown last time, but he might be best judged on his effort when making the frame at Chepstow prior to that. Nigel Twiston-Davies' veteran competes off a 1lb lower mark and he looks the way to go. Cloudy Glen was pulled up in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen but he would be dangerous to dismiss, while Empire Steel is the pick of the remainder.

CLOUDY GLEN has been given a chance by the handicapper and returns with his stable in excellent form, so he gets the nod ahead of Good Boy Bobby, who boasts a solid record in these events. The Two Amigos returns from a lengthy absence on a good mark under optimum conditions, so he also needs considering.

As he has such a good record fresh the well-handicapped CLOUDY GLEN is taken to win his first race since the 2021 Ladbroke Trophy.

(6) Hasty Brook 11/1, Fairly useful at his best and ran well when second over C&D in March 2023. Off the track since his next outing, so market may act as best guide to expectations after 20 months off.
Back from long absence but was runner-up over C&D on penultimate run; watch market.

(5) Guard Duty 10/3, Bumper winner in late 2022 who left his hurdling debut form behind in a first-time hood when landing a 9-runner novice at Uttoxeter in July. Pulled hard at that track next time, but remains of interest sent handicapping after 5 months off.
Bumper/hurdle winner who is unexposed in this sphere; interesting on handicap debut.

(9) Jet Marshall 13/2, Attracted support and showed improved form to make a winning handicap in a 17-runner contest at Wincanton (19.8f, good to soft) in February 2023. Returns with yard in good form and he's highly respected.
Won on handicap debut early in 2023; absent since but needs watching in market on comeback.

15:18 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

BLUE FIN showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely over 2m1f at Carlisle on his penultimate start and he shaped as if he was still in good heart when showing up well for a long way before fading into fourth late on over the same C&D recently. Off an unchanged mark with cheekpieces enlisted for the first time, he gets the nod to return to winning ways. Guard Duty could get into contention on his handicap debut, provided he settles better. Jet Marshall returns from a long absence and warrants a market check.

HAZY GLEN appeals as the type to do better now tackling handicaps and is fancied to make a winning return with the step back up in trip promising to suit. Jet Marshall confirmed the promise of his qualifying runs when scoring on his handicap bow in February and has to be respected returning from an absence for the in-form Hobbs & White yard, with Blue Fin completing the shortlist.

Hazy Glen has run well in all of his three hurdle runs, but the vote goes to another handicap newcomer in GUARD DUTY.

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.

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.
