UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

MR COCO BEAN justified favouritism over 1m2f at Redcar last time out and a 4lb rise appears workable for David Barron's charge, who had previously finished like an express train when second over track and trip in May after being denied a clear run. Little India was beaten by under a length off this mark on fast ground at Doncaster last time and is the one expected to put up most resistance, while the fitting of first-time cheekpieces could unlock improvement from Glorious Dane, who landed a Thirsk maiden in May but was last sighted over hurdles at Aintree last month.
Prediction : 1st Mr Coco Bean 2nd Little India 3rd Glorious Dane

Magical Spirit returned to winning ways over 6f at Ripon last month but he has a 7lb rise to contend with now and may find front-running tactics more difficult to execute at this track. Preference is for PENDLETON, who was turned over in a heavy-ground track-and-trip contest last time and couldn't land a blow from off the pace. Now granted firmer terrain, an improved showing from him would come as no surprise. Kapono didn't appear to handle the track at Catterick on Monday and is better judged on his preceding distance victory at Newcastle, a performance for which he's penalised here.
Prediction : 1st Pendleton 2nd Magical Spirit 3rd Kapono

VEE MAN TEN was thwarted by a head over this trip at Ayr last time and wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to gain compensation off this 3lb higher perch. Celsius proved too hot to handle when landing a C&D contest on soft ground last month and backed that effort up with a solid second on better ground at Windsor 11 days ago. Another big run likely beckons from Tom Clover's charge, who is considered the main danger to the selection ahead of recent Redcar winner Dream House and True Hero, a consistent sort who is fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Vee Man Ten 2nd Celsius 3rd Dream House

Anfield Girl wasn't beaten far here on debut last month and she is of real interest stepping up in trip for a team who know how to win at this venue. However, LOLA PAIGE found just an odds-on favourite too good on her own first outing at Doncaster and the Galileo filly, who cost 220,000 guineas, shaped like a winner in waiting when going down by two lengths. Mark Johnston took this last season and his newcomer West End Girl is respected, while fellow debutant Fraternity is a half-sister to her handler's three-time winner Arctic Fox and is worthy of a market check .
Prediction : 1st Lola Paige 2nd Anfield Girl 3rd West End Girl

WARNING FIRE was not disgraced off a 1lb higher mark when fourth at Brighton last time and is fancied to carry the burden of top weight to victory. The selection has dropped to the mark he won off on the all-weather at Lingfield in March and looks poised to strike sooner rather than later. Olivia R has hit the premises of late, but has the challenge of faster ground to tackle this time, while Jem Scuttle ran well on the all-weather last week and is respected.
Prediction : 1st Warning Fire 2nd Olivia R 3rd Jem Scuttle

REPUTATION just bumped into a lesser-exposed rival when second at Newmarket in a better race last week and looks poised to land a decent pot sooner rather than later for Ruth Carr. Previously fourth behind the talented Flavius Titus, the six-year-old is unexposed over this distance and could prove tough to stop off an unchanged mark. Arcanada won over C&D last time but needs more now up in grade following a 4lb rise, while Ginger Fox seemed to appreciate drying ground when second at Doncaster recently and could prove best of the remainder using his weight-for-age allowance.
Prediction : 1st Reputation 2nd Arcanada 3rd Ginger Fox

LAURIER will have entered a few notebooks when sixth on debut at Kempton four weeks ago and this $410,000 yearling looks set to take a big step forward in her development for Kevin Ryan. The Scat Daddy filly should appreciate this step up in trip and fast ground is also likely to be in her favour. Joyful Mission impressed when fourth on debut at Newmarket in April and shouldn't be far away for Sir Michael Stoute under the guidance of track specialist Richard Kingscote, while Vitralite struck here on debut last month and could also hit the frame, despite carrying a 7lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Laurier 2nd Joyful Mission 3rd Vitralite
