UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

SOUTHWOLD sets the form standard, having won two of his four outings to date, and the son of Gleneagles is entitled to improve making his debut on turf. Tele Red is likely to bounce back from his latest effort at Newbury, when only beating one rival home, while Balqaa, who was runner-up at Newcastle when last seen, and He's A Gentleman appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Southwold 2nd Tele Red 3rd Balqaa

Bint Havana Grey shaped well on her first start when finishing third at Newbury and appears open to improvement following that display. However, a chance is taken on a newcomer in the shape of WELSH HARBOUR. A full-sister to Temple Stakes winner King's Lynn, she represents a yard who have done well with their juveniles so far this season and gets the vote to make a winning start to her career. Cool Run and Princess Alex complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Welsh Harbour 2nd Bint Havana Grey 3rd Cool Run

HOUR BY HOUR didn't quite kick on as expected from his return display when runner-up at Pontefract in April, having not appeared to get home over 7f at Leicester before disappointing at Hamilton. That said, he returns from two months off the track and is capable of bouncing back on this occasion. Cold Stare has been running consistently well this season and is likely to enter calculations, while Asadjumeirah and Danzart are others who are capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Hour By Hour 2nd Cold Stare 3rd Asadjumeirah

RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE was denied by a neck once again when runner-up at Ayr recently and compensation could await now turned out quickly off the same mark. Carrigillihy gained a second success of the season at Pontefract last Tuesday and is feared most off a 5lb penalty here, while Mothill is another to note on this return to the Flat, having recorded a career-best performance over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month.
Prediction : 1st Ravenscraig Castle 2nd Carrigillihy 3rd Mothill

Although UTILIS has something to prove after an underwhelming reappearance on the all-weather earlier in the month, Brian Ellison's charge holds strong claims on last season's turf efforts and may bounce back to form in what looks a weak affair. Cover Up is entitled to improve on his opening bid when sixth over C&D a fortnight ago and may prove more competitive, while newcomer Inca Queen is a potential fly in the ointment and is worth a second look in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Utilis 2nd Cover Up 3rd Inca Queen

Plenty went wrong for NIGIRI when finishing third behind subsequent winner Tiffany at Wolverhampton last month and she holds leading claims now entering handicaps off what looks a lenient opening mark. Streaky Bay defied market expectation when holding on to triumph at Yarmouth recently and a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly from going close once more. Princess Naomi was too bad to be true at Salisbury in mid-June and the three-year-old could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Nigiri 2nd Streaky Bay 3rd Princess Naomi
