UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

EDEN ROSE took a sharp rise in class in her stride when scoring at Kempton, and could overcome a 5lb hike to complete a hat-trick. Pirate King kept on at the same pace when third over the extended 1m6f at Doncaster and has place claims now stepped up in trip. Big runs from the eased-in-grade Nakeeta and Lucky Deal, who chased home subsequent Chester Cup scorer Making Miracles at Ripon before struggling on the Roodee, are also anticipated.
Prediction : 1st Eden Rose 2nd Pirate King 3rd Lucky Deal

OASIS PRINCE only made his debut in March but the son of Oasis Dream has quickly developed into a smart performer. Mark Johnston's colt showed a good attitude to deny Loch Ness Monster over C&D last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Aweedram has to be respected following his victories at Newmarket and Ascot, while Awe and Masaru are others with strong form claims. Of those at bigger prices, Duke Of Hazzard stands out having run well in the French 2000 Guineas.
Prediction : 1st Oasis Prince 2nd Aweedram 3rd Awe

The unbeaten CALYX confirmed the promise of his Coventry Stakes victory with an emphatic four-length triumph in a Group 3, also at Ascot, on his reappearance and John Gosden's Kingman colt will be hard to stop on his way back to the Royal meeting. Hello Youmzain was a respectable fourth in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury and may appreciate the return to 6f, while True Mason has some solid Group form to his name.
Prediction : 1st Calyx 2nd Hello Youmzain 3rd True Mason

Battaash took this 12 months ago and the enigmatic sprinter could return to his best if a winter wind operation has the desired effect. However, Michael Dods' Abbaye heroine MABS CROSS is backed to confirm her Longchamp superiority having successfully conceded a Group 1 penalty to her rivals when landing the Palace House Stakes on her comeback. Kachy, third in this last season, arrives in good form once again and could make the podium.
Prediction : 1st Mabs Cross 2nd Battaash 3rd Kachy

Island Of Life was left with a bit too much to do and couldn't quite reel in Heavenly Holly On All-Weather Finals day at Lingfield, and wouldn't be winning out of turn if gaining compensation. Preference at the weights and over this shorter trip, however, is for SIGNORA CABELLO, who was no match for Calyx on her reappearance but is entitled to improve for the drop in grade. Perfection shaped like a return to sprinting would suit when second in a 7f Group 3 at Lingfield and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Signora Cabello 2nd Island Of Life 3rd Perfection

Having caught the eye in two strong races as a juvenile, SIR RON PRIESTLEY won impressively on his return at Ripon and that form has been boosted twice by the runner-up, most recently off a mark of 85 at Leicester on Monday. With that in mind, Mark Johnston's colt could be thrown in off 86 and it should also be noted that he has been given an entry in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot. Lariat has hit the crossbar in two competitive events already this year and could do so once again, while Felix The Poet edges out Fraser Island to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sir Ron Priestley 2nd Lariat 3rd Felix The Poet

FINNISTON FARM has struggled in his two previous starts this year but the four-year-old did win over 1m4f here in September and he can be given another chance off a 2lb lower mark now. Red Force One was only narrowly denied on the Kempton all-weather when last seen on the Flat in February and he could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of New Show.
Prediction : 1st Finniston Farm 2nd Red Force One 3rd New Show
