UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

RED FOR ALL was touched off by a neck over this trip on his handicap debut at Windsor last month and is expected to mount another bold bid off the same mark. Penalised Redcar scorer King's Charisma should run another big race if handling the forecast slower ground, while Anfield Girl kept on well in the closing stages when winning over 1m at Doncaster recently and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Red For All 2nd Kings Charisma 3rd Anfield Girl

FAMILLE ROSE rattled the crossbar over this trip on debut at Leicester but is expected to come on appreciably for the outing and go one better this afternoon now she has the benefit of a run behind her. Kohinoor steps up in trip after posting a promising introduction over 5f at Goodwood and is feared most, though any money for Karl Burke's newcomer, Red Fascinator, would also be very interesting.
Prediction : 1st Famille Rose 2nd Kohinoor 3rd Red Fascinator

BROUGHTONS GOLD travelled powerfully when making a winning return to action at Newbury and could feasibly take a 7lb rise in his stride. Esprit Rose is unexposed now moving outside of novice company and could be well treated off an opening mark of 77, while there could also be big runs on the cards from Chairmanic, another handicap debutant, and Asmund, who is refitted with his usual cheekpieces after they were left off on his reappearance at Leicester.
Prediction : 1st Broughtons Gold 2nd Esprit Rose 3rd Asmund

MARIETTA ROBUSTI was successful off this mark over C&D last August and her most recent effort at Hamilton suggested that the five-year-old was returning to form. With that in mind, she gets the nod today ahead of Autumn Flight, who won twice last autumn and he should improve for his recent comeback run. Others to consider are Erissimus Maximus and True Hero.
Prediction : 1st Marietta Robusti 2nd Autumn Flight 3rd Erissimus Maximus

William Bligh sets the standard having finished a close second at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago but a chance can be taken with SCOTS GOLD. The son of Dark Angel represents a yard who do well with their juveniles at this track and this 90,000-euro purchase is the first foal out of a Group 3-winning mare. Meritorious is another interesting newcomer, being from the family of the Group 1 winner Journey, while Rival and Forest Falcon merit market inspections.
Prediction : 1st Scots Gold 2nd William Bligh 3rd Meritorious

ZEZENIA failed to reward favourite backers in a competitive maiden at Newmarket on her seasonal return last month, but she was far from disgraced on that occasion. With that run now under her belt, the daughter of Golden Horn should play a leading role in this contest. Afro Blue, Arctic Vega and Sermon are others who arrive here with solid form claims, while any market support for Bint Australia or Freedom Flyer would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Zezenia 2nd Arctic Vega 3rd Sermon

The form of DERDAS' two performances in France last year is strong and he is fancied to play a leading role on his UK/stable debut. A gelding operation in January could bring about improvement, and the forecast soft ground certainly won't bother him. Able Grace has the advantage of a recent run under her belt, keeping on for fourth over 6f at Leicester, and she will likely appreciate this extra furlong, while American Entente and Panzertank are both respected newcomers representing powerful connections.
Prediction : 1st Derdas 2nd Able Grace 3rd American Entente

Bertog won cosily at Doncaster last week and that form was boosted when the runner-up struck at Musselburgh on Tuesday. However, the ground is forecast to be much softer here and he has a 5lb penalty to carry, so preference is for ZIP. Richard Fahey's gelding likes to get his toe in and there was much to like about his fourth-placed effort at Thirsk on Monday. That was a big step forward from his seasonal debut and he could improve again. Tranchee might be worth a market check on his first start for David Loughnane.
Prediction : 1st Zip 2nd Bertog 3rd Tranchee

RED MISSILE shaped with plenty of promise as a juvenile, finishing third behind subsequent Britannia winner Khaloosy when last sighted (second also won easy since), and he can mount a bold bid on his seasonal reappearance. His stable are in excellent form at present, and a gelding operation in January is unlikely to have done him any harm. Nashy has a recent run under his belt, finishing a half-length second at Kempton, and he must come into the reckoning, while Dancing Approach and Magna Moralia add further spice to a fiercely competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Red Missile 2nd Nashy 3rd Dancing Approach
