UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Unplugged seems sure to prove popular as he looks for a hat-trick after wins here and at Pontefract. That said, he has another 4lb from the handicapper now and his form on a softer surface suggests this going may not see him at his best. HOT TEAM ran on well over a furlong shorter at Hamilton last time, leaving him 1lb well in here, and he may go close. Lenny's Spirit and Billy Roberts complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hot Team 2nd Unplugged 3rd Lennys Spirit

Whiskey Pete was beaten less than a length on his Newmarket debut and looked the sort to improve for the experience, but Charlie Appleby trained the winner that day and is represented here by AGE OF TIME. An 800,000-euro son of Dubawi and related to plenty of winners, he might well be up to making a winning debut under James Doyle. Mannerism and Mafnood have shown promise and are also entitled to have some say in the finish here.
Prediction : 1st Age Of Time 2nd Whiskey Pete 3rd Mannerism

First Of May has won two of her four starts, both on the all-weather, and wasn't disgraced last time out when sixth at Chester. She could bounce back to her best but might have to settle for second if COUPLET improves for her first start of the season. The daughter of Zoustar won a maiden here last year and she was clear of the third when beaten at Doncaster on her return, which makes a mark of 79 look generous. Novice winner Quandary could be the one to follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Couplet 2nd First Of May 3rd Quandary

Alshinfarah is an obvious starting point and is shortlisted after she comfortably landed a fillies maiden at Doncaster last month. However, that form has a taken a few subsequent knocks and she might be worth taking on now that she faces the opposite sex for the first time. CESTRIAN SPIRIT appeals on pedigree and, given his yard has maintained a healthy strike-rate with their juveniles this season, he shades preference. Remaadd and Wootton's Jewel complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cestrian Spirit 2nd Alshinfarah 3rd Remaadd

BEVERAGINO sets a reasonable standard with an official rating of 76 and, given that she has previous C&D experience, Michael Bell's filly can put her knowledge to good use back over this intermediate trip. Kinetic is a likely improver now upped to 7f and she is dangerous to underestimate. Cheshire Dancer and Sovereign Queen are a couple of noteworthy newcomers to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Beveragino 2nd Kinetic 3rd Cheshire Dancer

UNEQUAL LOVE has won her last couple of starts in striking fashion and is hard to oppose in her bid for a third victory within the space of just over a month. It's notable that her dam was placed over 1m in a Listed race at this course and all the signs are positive for this progressive filly. Catterick winner Diamond Vega is respected but a 6lb higher mark demands more of her, while Tellus and Jill Rose may have to settle for supporting roles.
Prediction : 1st Unequal Love 2nd Diamond Vega 3rd Tellus
