UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Let's Fly Again battled on well to win at Bath last month, but an added 4lb suggests the son of Kodiac needs to do more to back that performance up. Nuvolari sports a hood for the first time and, with his stable in good form, he could also have a big say, but preference is for NINE DRAGONS. Tom Dascombe's colt showed a fair amount of improvement to finish second in a Bath maiden on his third start and this is a suitable opportunity for him to shed the maiden tag.
Prediction : 1st Nine Dragons 2nd Nuvolari 3rd Lets Fly Again

ELECTRICAL STORM ran with credit when third at Sandown on his first attempt over 1m2f and the drop back to a mile might be more suitable for Saeed bin Suroor's gelding. Young Fire has won three of his six starts here and he may get the better of Fame And Acclaim, a C&D winner in June who races off only 1lb higher now, in the race for second.
Prediction : 1st Electrical Storm 2nd Young Fire 3rd Fame And Acclaim

GROCER JACK is rated 6lb or more superior to these rivals and, after proving he is at the top of his game with a nine-length win at Newbury last month, the five-year-old is difficult to oppose. If there is a chink in his armour then it may be the softer ground expected here, with all his winning form on a faster surface. Passion And Glory has no such concerns and may be his biggest danger, though both Anmaat and Peter The Great could have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Grocer Jack 2nd Passion And Glory 3rd Anmaat

OSCULA has been kept very busy in recent weeks but she has been found an ideal opportunity to add another victory to her record today. The three-year-old showed a very good attitude when winning a Group 3 at Goodwood 10 days ago and a reproduction of that level of form may well be good enough to win this. Thundershower defied a penalty when winning a novice at Nottingham last time and she should not be underestimated, while Crenelle is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Oscula 2nd Thundershower 3rd Crenelle

In an open event the marginal preference is for PLAYDAY, who took a significant step forward when getting off the mark at Leicester last month. A 4lb rise for that victory may underestimate this progressive daughter of Frankel. Tessy Lad and Benjamin Bear are other recent winners who could go well, while the consistent Fergie Time also merits a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Playday 2nd Tessy Lad 3rd Benjamin Bear

A confirmed front runner who has won his last three, including over C&D last month, Zero Carbon is bound to make this a test. That may well suit the progressive WHITEBEAM, who should be coming home stronger than most, having won over a mile at Newbury in June. Making his handicap debut here off what looks a workable mark of 91, the daughter of Caravaggio is narrowly preferred to the consistent, yet frustrating, Thunder Legend, who has placed on each of his four starts this season.
Prediction : 1st Whitebeam 2nd Thunder Legend 3rd Zero Carbon

A winner over C&D in May, ABOVE IT ALL hadn't shown much in the interim until an excellent effort at Newbury last month when not beaten far in second. With Tom Marquand returning to the saddle, the three-year-old can get the better of Catterick scorer Liangel Hope, who was claimed by new connections since. The chief threat though may come from the unexposed Star Zinc, who shaped well on handicap debut at Doncaster in May but has not been in action since.
Prediction : 1st Above It All 2nd Star Zinc 3rd Liangel Hope
