UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

LUMACHO won with a bit in hand at Southwell five days ago, leaving the impression she could still be well handicapped and the daughter of Camacho is fancied to strike under a 6lb penalty. Destiny's Spirit upset the selection at Yarmouth last month and she looks set for another bold bid, while Thunder Star is another to consider back at this venue.
Prediction : 1st Lumacho 2nd Destinys Spirit 3rd Thunder Star

Narrowly denied on each of her last three starts, it appears to be only a matter of time before Tephi gets off the mark. That said, she might have to play second fiddle to DIAMOND VEGA. Second behind a well-supported winner at Kempton on her debut, Ralph Beckett's charge can take a step forward and strike at the second time of asking. Unrequited Love can follow them home ahead of Gemini Star.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Vega 2nd Tephi 3rd Unrequited Love

With conditions set to be testing, a chance can be taken on PUNCHBOWL FLYER. The five-year-old has often been seen to best effect with cut in the ground and, operating from 11lb below his last winning mark, he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Air Raid landed this prize in 2020 and he could go well in a first-time tongue-tie, along with recent C&D winner Sterling Knight.
Prediction : 1st Punchbowl Flyer 2nd Air Raid 3rd Sterling Knight

SAXON KING sets a decent standard following his narrow defeat at Lingfield last time and he looks the one to beat. Logistical and Kingsley Pride both need to improve upon their debut runs, so it would come as no surprise to see Roost, who is out of a 7f Group 3 winner Redstart, give the selection the most to worry about.
Prediction : 1st Saxon King 2nd Roost 3rd Logistical

Alazwar has been consistent since switching to the Flat and is respected despite hitting the buffers at Goodwood last time out, while Al Mubhir still has scope for improvement and is likely to appreciate dropping back in distance. However, preference is for ASCOT ADVENTURE, who has already proven himself at this course and has shaped as if the step up to a mile will suit him ideally.
Prediction : 1st Ascot Adventure 2nd Alazwar 3rd Al Mubhir

It was a hot race that ZEBRA STAR struggled in at Newmarket last time and, back at this more realistic level, George Boughey's filly looks the one to side with today. Beach Breeze has become quite expensive to follow but on his best form he can certainly go close, while Moltisanti is worthy of consideration on his nursery debut this afternoon.
Prediction : 1st Zebra Star 2nd Beach Breeze 3rd Moltisanti

QOYA shaped as if there would be even more to come over this longer trip when winning over 1m6f at Nottingham last time. With Tom Marquand back in the saddle, it's unlikely a 6lb penalty will prevent her from going very close. Kincade won at Pontefract in August and, off 5lb higher, he should give it another good shot. Maketh Believeth is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Qoya 2nd Kincade 3rd Maketh Believeth
