UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

UNPLUGGED appeared to be an unlucky loser when runner-up at Pontefract on his return to action a fortnight ago and the seven-year-old is capable of going one better, despite being 2lb higher on this occasion. Aegis Power is likely to appreciate both a drop in trip and the application of first-time cheekpieces, while others to note include Captain Haddock and Restorer.
Prediction : 1st Unplugged 2nd Aegis Power 3rd Captain Haddock

Ruling Dynasty got off the mark at the second time of asking at Newcastle in October at prohibitive odds. However, with his stable under a cloud at present and the fact the son of Night Of Thunder has to give 21lb and upwards to the rest of the field means he is worth opposing. The vote, therefore, goes to KING OF THE PLAINS, who was just denied on his second start at Yarmouth last week and the son of Roaring Lion is taken to go one better. Cosmic Soul is open to improvement, while Governor Of India is exceptionally bred, being out of a Prix de Diane winner like the selection, and has to be respected on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st King Of The Plains 2nd Cosmic Soul 3rd Governor Of India

Peony shed the maiden tag when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and the daughter of Churchill is open to further improvement in handicap company. That said, a chance is taken with PALM LILY, who sports blinkers for the first time and may progress from her recent return to action at Chester. Absolutelyflawless and Silent Flame appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Palm Lily 2nd Peony 3rd Absolutelyflawless

A comfortable winner when making all at Hamilton last week, ABATE arrives in excellent shape and the step up in trip should hold no fears as he looks to notch up an eighth career success. Adrian Nicholls' charge should have too much for the capable Asadjumeirah, as well as Dark Side Thunder, who has won two of his last three starts but remains winless on the turf.
Prediction : 1st Abate 2nd Dark Side Thunder 3rd Asadjumeirah

The well-bred Ancient Wisdom cost 2,000,000 euro as a yearling and is bound to be popular, but the form of his stable is a slight worry, and preference instead is for CROWN ESTATE. A son of the French 1000 Guineas winner Castle Lady, he is bred to be at this best over a mile, but he may have enough pace for this trip first time out. Dallas Star and Victory Shout are others with strong pedigrees that could get involved.
Prediction : 1st Crown Estate 2nd Ancient Wisdom 3rd Dallas Star

AL ALAALI has been runner-up on two of his last three starts and should be suited by the switch to turf. The three-year-old has the services of James Doyle to call on this time around and that may be enough to see off Fox Vision, who threw away his chance when hanging left late on at Ripon in April. El Jasor has claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Windsor.
Prediction : 1st Al Alaali 2nd Fox Vision 3rd El Jasor
