UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Most of these arrive here in questionable form but not INDIAN PURSUIT, who has been running well enough in defeat of late to suggest that he can be successful in a race of this nature. Le Manege Enchante is another who could go well switching back to turf, while I'll Be Good is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Indian Pursuit 2nd Le Manege Enchante 3rd Ill Be Good

SPRINGWOOD DRIVE put in a career-best performance when finishing second at Doncaster on Saturday and, based upon that evidence, the daughter of Mayson is the one to beat. Diamond Shower was a bit disappointing on her handicap debut last month but it is far too soon to be writing her off, while Red Allure and Sarasota Bay are other respected players.
Prediction : 1st Springwood Drive 2nd Diamond Shower 3rd Red Allure

HE'S A KEEPER displayed plenty of promise when finishing a head second to an experienced rival on his debut over 7f here last month and, with that experience under his belt, the son of Brazen Beau should prove very hard to beat. Unresolved is another who is entitled to improve for his first start, while On Guard looks the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Hes A Keeper 2nd Unresolved 3rd On Guard

ESCAPE PROOF was very green when finishing fifth on her debut at Wolverhampton last month and Roger Charlton's filly is likely to take a big step forward. If improving as anticipated, she can land the spoils. Reclaim Victory has displayed promise in both previous starts and she is an obvious threat, while I Had A Dream completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Escape Proof 2nd Reclaim Victory 3rd I Had A Dream

RICH BELIEF has improved with every start to date and his decisive victory at Wolverhampton last month suggests that he could be underestimated by an opening mark of 78. Fantom Force also arrives here on the back of a win and he should remain competitive off a 4lb higher mark. Welcome Surprise edges out Out Of Breath to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Rich Belief 2nd Fantom Force 3rd Welcome Surprise

NUITS ST GEORGES is a handicapper on the up and could prove tough to stop if the ground doesn't get too lively. The four-year-old has won three of his last five starts for David Menuisier, only going up 6lb in total, and he can strike again. Charlie D carries a 5lb penalty for a comfortable Bath win last week, while Nafaayes could also prove a threat.
Prediction : 1st Nuits St Georges 2nd Charlie D 3rd Nafaayes

Fragrant Belle remains with potential but has become disappointing lately, while Power Player wasn't disgraced on his handicap debut here when third over 1m and is bred to appreciate this extra test of stamina. Highwaygrey is consistent, but narrow preference is for Richard Fahey's FIREWATER. Second to a well-handicapped gelding at Pontefract recently, that effort can be upgraded given he was the only three-year-old in the field, and this test against his own age group should be more suitable.
Prediction : 1st Firewater 2nd Power Player 3rd Highwaygrey
