UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

SEA ON TIME made her presence felt when just losing out by a head at Chepstow over 1m2f last month. The Sea The Stars filly looks primed for a step up in trip and gets the vote ahead of Planet Legend, who may need a stiffer stamina test but seeks to make an impression in first-time cheekpieces. French Romance is an interesting contender on her debut (also engaged to run at Redcar on Friday) and could be thereabouts for a reputable stable.
Prediction : 1st Sea On Time 2nd Planet Legend 3rd French Romance

SANDBECK drops down in class following a below-par run over 6f at Ripon last month. She drops back to 5f and, having previously scored over this trip at Nottingham in April, must be respected, despite having been raised 5lb in the handicap since then. Kimngrace is one to be wary of dropping down in class and she stayed on well to win by a neck at Goodwood earlier this month. Another to note is Atiyah, who has gone up 6lb for her latest win at Thirsk over 5f but she kept to the task well throughout that contest.
Prediction : 1st Sandbeck 2nd Kimngrace 3rd Atiyah

Coco Jack will have to shoulder a 5lb penalty for his latest win and, given he just got up to win by a head, the additional weight could be too much for him to handle. Therefore, preference is for INDIANA BE, who could benefit a stiffer stamina test having run on well over 6f last month. He is related to some notable stayers, including the John and Thady Gosden-trained Blueberry Hill (now rated 82), and he could run a big race. The Charlie and Mark Johnston-trained Dornoch Castle is an interesting type on paper and should not be dismissed on his debut.
Prediction : 1st Indiana Be 2nd Coco Jack 3rd Dornoch Castle

It usually pays to be handy on Haydock's round track and that bodes well for MOUNTBATTEN, who made all on his turf debut at Wetherby last month. Archie Watson's charge is likely to improve for going up in trip and a mark of 80 on handicap debut may underestimate him. Amanzoe was value for more than the winning margin when successful at Leicester and she is bred to be be much better than a mid-range handicapper. The consistent Quick Change is another to consider for the in-from Karl Burke team.
Prediction : 1st Mountbatten 2nd Amanzoe 3rd Brunello Breeze

The suggestion is EEETEE, whose form behind the progressive Montassib on debut stands out. A respectable seventh on handicap debut since, the four-year-old remains unexposed and he could be primed to strike. Stablemate Star Shield loves it around here and he must respected along with Raise The Roof, who is a two-time winner on the all-weather and makes her first start on turf. A narrow second on his penultimate start at Wetherby, Dulla Bhatti may be best placed to follow the selection home.
Prediction : 1st Eeetee 2nd Dulla Bhatti 3rd Star Shield

STAR OF VALOUR has long shaped as though a step back up to this trip would suit and his most recent effort at Goodwood was perfect evidence of that when keeping on late for a close-up third. Fylde Coast is well capable in this grade as well and it may be only a matter of time before he gets his head in front. Goodwood winner Andaleep has won off higher marks in the past, but most of his best form has come on right-handed tracks, while Rainbow Colours could improve for this steep rise in distance.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Valour 2nd Fylde Coast 3rd Andaleep
