UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

AL DASIM is having his first run for his new trainer George Boughey, a stable who are in good form and he could be worth chancing on his handicap debut given how well his latest run in France has worked out. Rogue Spirit should find today's contest less competitive than at York and he could give the selection most to think about. Kuwait City offered more on his second start in a handicap at Windsor 22 days ago and he is another to consider if building on that effort.
Prediction : 1st Al Dasim 2nd Rogue Spirit 3rd Kuwait City

The finish could be dominated by the progressive three-year-olds, with narrow preference for C&D winner DELOREAN. A 4lb rise for his success here last month shouldn't overburden the son of Time Test and there should be more to come on just his second start in a handicap. Foden's win at Beverley in April has worked out extremely well and if resuming in that sort of form then he looks the most likely danger. Croupier rates next best ahead of Moon Watch.
Prediction : 1st Delorean 2nd Foden 3rd Moon Watch

BALTIC BIRD comes with risks attached after disappointing when last seen in the Queen's Vase at Ascot in June, but the son of Frankel created a good impression when previously winning at Yarmouth and his opening mark looks workable on that performance. Speycaster may prove a different proposition in the first-time blinkers and he is one to be wary of, with Sea King another to consider after recently being gelded.
Prediction : 1st Baltic Bird 2nd Speycaster 3rd Sea King

16 fillies head to post in this competitive contest, with plenty of connections arriving here thinking their charge has a good chance of landing the prize, but perhaps none more so than those connected to RENESMEE. Kevin Philippart De Foy's two-year-old was beaten in a blanket finish over 6f at Ascot last time when she was third of 13, and a repeat of that effort would see her go close. Annie Maher has made a pleasing start to her career and another bold bid can be expected from Michael Bell's runner, while Centrefold is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Renesmee 2nd Annie Maher 3rd Centrefold

This looks a deep contest, with plenty of nice types to consider, and the nod goes to MUTAANY. Charlie Hills' two-year-old bumped into a progressive sort when beaten one and a half lengths over 6f at Wolverhampton on his latest outing, but the way he came home well clear of the rest of the field on that occasion entitles him to the utmost respect here. A son of Kodiac, Almaty Star looks the most interesting debutant, while Ghassan was a good third of nine over 7f at Chelmsford last time and this drop in trip is a plus.
Prediction : 1st Mutaany 2nd Almaty Star 3rd Ghassan

Pentland Hills was rated just 73 at his best when trained by Chris Wall but he's thrived under the tutelage of Nicky Henderson since then. He's now a Grade 1 winner over hurdles so is highly respected as he reverts to this code on what looks a competitive handicap mark. He is sure to be a popular choice and is worth considering. However, KASPERENKO is also very well treated on the pick of his form and looks a more sporting choice. He is effective on the ground and it's notable that he's handled this course well in the past. Tendentious still has some scope for improvement and also merits a betting check along with Ghadbbaan, after his solid effort at York earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Kasperenko 2nd Pentland Hills 3rd Tendentious

It could be worth giving another chance to GOOD REGAL, who wasn't given too hard a time once his chance had slipped away at Ripon last month. He had previously shown a good level of progression during the summer months and it may be worth forgiving that minor blip on his profile. Cumulonimbus is respected after his romp at Yarmouth 10 days ago, but that was a big step up on his previous form and he now looks vulnerable under a 6lb penalty. Its was a weak race in which Electress got off the mark in at Brighton at the start of September but she's actually still 5lb below her introductory handicap mark, so she can also be considered as a serious player at this sort of level.
Prediction : 1st Good Regal 2nd Cumulonimbus 3rd Electress
