UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

IT'S BEEN NOTED paid the price for his blistering early speed over 6f at Chester when dropping away to finish fifth. His effort on the Roodee the time before was a solid enough performance and Tom Dascombe's colt could make amends on a more conventional track. Dream Kart may be better suited by a flatter track than Carlisle, where she finished third last time, while Daddies Diva has winning form on soft ground and has to enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Its Been Noted 2nd Dream Kart 3rd Daddies Diva

JABBAROCKIE built on his promising efforts earlier this season when getting his head in front over C&D last Thursday, with Canford Bay back in third, and, on that performance, he looks capable of handling a 5lb penalty on this occasion. Maygold was slightly disappointing when a beaten favourite at Chelmsford but could bounce back to form returning to turf, while Hawaam and Mythical Spirit complete the shortlist with the pair capable of further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Jabbarockie 2nd Maygold 3rd Hawaam

GODFATHER has an ideal pedigree with the likely conditions in mind, being out of a Listed juvenile winner on heavy ground and a sire who proved himself to be versatile on any surface, and represents a stable who have a fine record at the Merseyside venue. One Hart warrants consideration having cost 50,000 pounds at the Goffs Premier Yearling sale last August, while The New Marwan has to enter calculations on what he has achieved in two starts to date.
Prediction : 1st Godfather 2nd One Hart 3rd The New Marwan

MASHAM STAR has been a model of consistency over the past month, despite not getting his head in front, and conditions won't be any issue for Mark Johnston's gelding having won an Italian Group 3 on similar ground last November. Sha La La La Lee scored at the Chester May Festival two outings ago on a soft surface and warrants respect back at a mile, while others to consider in a competitive event include Hortzadar and Club Wexford.
Prediction : 1st Masham Star 2nd Sha La La La Lee 3rd Hortzadar

A return to this trip looked to be the key for EXISTENTIAL, who showed improvement when only beaten a length at Leicester last time. Heavy ground is an unknown but Clive Cox's filly has to be of real interest off a 2lb higher mark. Zzoro and Autretot are two with useful form figures when there is cut in the ground and will be praying the rain continue to pour, while Pioneering made the podium over course and distance on his first outing for Roger Fell last week and has to be taken seriously off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Existential 2nd Pioneering 3rd Zzoro

Francisco Bay looked like landing a big shock when second at 50/1 over track and trip last week, his effort petering out in the final furlong, and must be given much more respect this time attempting to go one better off the same rating. However, a chance is taken on ROBERT L'ECHELLE, who perhaps found 1m4f a little too far on his turf debut in April, but has won over a similar distance on the all-weather and looks feasibly treated dropping back in trip. Smeaton struggled here last time but is another who could be suited by the reduced yardage here.
Prediction : 1st Robert LEchelle 2nd Francisco Bay 3rd Smeaton

CITY TOUR was an encouraging fourth at Carlisle last time and could bounce back to the form of his Musselburgh win in April with cut in the ground likely to be in his favour. Theatre Of War was disappointing on his Musselburgh reappearance earlier this month, but has some smart novice form in the book and would go close if reproducing his best, while Kuwait Station ran a respectable race to finish third here last month and could appreciate the drop back in trip.
Prediction : 1st City Tour 2nd Theatre Of War 3rd Kuwait Station
