UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Only narrowly denied over a fractionally shorter trip last month, a 1lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop Swift Tuttle from producing another bold bid, but it could pay to side with BOLLIN MARGARET. Tim Easterby's inmate steps up in class following a six-length success at Thirsk earlier this month, and Brandon Wilkie negates most of the mare's 5lb penalty courtesy of his 3lb claim in the saddle. Wynter Wildes completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bollin Margaret 2nd Swift Tuttle 3rd Wynter Wildes

A half-sister to last year's King George winner Pyledriver, SHAGPYLE looked smart when running away with an Ascot maiden over 1m2f on her racecourse debut last month. A stiffer stamina test shouldn't pose any problems for her, especially given her dam is a half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Mount Ormel. Truthful was a game winner at Salisbury over 1m2f last month and William Haggas' 120,000gns purchase cannot be taken lightly, while the unraced Fifth Harmonic adds further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Shagpyle 2nd Truthful 3rd Fifth Harmonic

The vote goes to ACTION PLAN. The son of Soldier's Call is fairly well related and his granddam was a half-sister to multiple Group 1 winner Muhaarar, as well as being Listed-placed herself. Karl Burke's inmate is taken to get the better of 130,000gns purchase Lake Forest who, as a half-brother to seven winners including Listed winner Lady Of Kyushu, can give the selection plenty to think about. Watcha Matey finished a fair fourth over this trip at Chester last month and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Action Plan 2nd Lake Forest 3rd Watcha Matey

With several well-bred newcomers being introduced, this looks an above-average contest. Macanudo appeals given his dam was placed in a Listed race over this trip and he runs for an in-form yard. Charlie Johnston's pair Paladin and Quintus Maximus also have lots to offer on paper and warrant a second look. However, STATE OF DESIRE strikes as the pick of two Godolphin-owned contenders and this son of Frankel, who cost 400,000gns as a yearling, has a valuable edge in terms of experience following his introductory Yarmouth third.
Prediction : 1st State Of Desire 2nd Macanudo 3rd Paladin

RENESMEE has shown both versatility and consistency in her four previous starts and has a lot going for her off a workable mark. Reverting to turf shouldn't present much of an issue given she was a very close third in a novice at Ascot last autumn and she rates a solid option in her bid to break her maiden. Ararat also has scope and is feared most, while Drafted and The Toff are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Renesmee 2nd Ararat 3rd Drafted

In this competitive contest marginal preference is for the Sir Michael Stoute-trained filly REGAL FANFARE. The three-year-old was by no means disgraced when third in testing conditions at Nottingham last time out and the sister to the Group 3-winning Regal Encore is taken to appreciate this sounder surface. Chorus Line shed the maiden tag at Leicester on her latest outing and she demands the utmost respect off 3lb higher. Alice Knyvet also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Regal Fanfare 2nd Chorus Line 3rd Alice Knyvet

Coverdale arrives on the hunt for a third successive win and demands the utmost respect off only 2lb higher than his latest success at Nottingham. The son of Expert Eye has a question to answer on this quicker surface, though, and preference is for GREEK ORDER. The son of Kingman is a brother to Group 3 winner Sangarius and gets the nod to build on his first career win at Sandown now stepping up in trip. Feel The Need was denied a clear run at York last time out and may take a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Greek Order 2nd Coverdale 3rd Feel The Need
