UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

GOLDEN MAVERICK has proven costly to follow since turning his attentions to the jumps. This does not look the strongest of contests, though, and any further improvement might suffice. Glorious Lion posted another solid effort when occupying the runner-up spot at Kelso 10 days ago and he is the main danger, while Aire Spray, who showed promise in a couple of bumpers before falling on his hurdling bow last time out, might prove to be best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Golden Maverick 2nd Glorious Lion 3rd Aire Spray

There aren't many as consistent as Glory And Honour, who hasn't finished outside of the first two home in his last seven chase starts. Raised 2lb in the handicap for his latest second at Musselburgh last month, he is unlikely to be far away, but PRAIRIE WOLF might prove to be too strong. Sue Smith's charge recorded a comfortable victory at Catterick last month, having been far from disgraced in a warm Cheltenham contest previously, and a subsequent 7lb hike does not look insurmountable. Heros can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Prairie Wolf 2nd Glory And Honour 3rd Heros

The vote goes to LADY PRETENDER, who was prominent in the betting ahead of her stable/UK debut last month. Venetia Williams' mare struggled to make an impact that day, but she can improve for that experience on her second run following wind surgery. Dameofthecotswolds marks highly for consistency and she ought to go well in receipt of weight from her elders, while Barrons Land weakened over 2m4f at Musselburgh last time out and could improve for the drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Lady Pretender 2nd Dameofthecotswolds 3rd Barrons Land

Having scored at Southwell and Wetherby last month, Ali Star Bert warrants respect in his bid for a hat-trick. A 3lb rise for his latest victory looks fair, but it could be worth taking the eight-year-old on now he's upped into class 3 company. JUBILEE EXPRESS ticks plenty of the right boxes having posted a respectable second at Lingfield latest and Sam Thomas' inmate may be able to shake off a 5lb higher mark. O'Connell has the form to be involved too.
Prediction : 1st Jubilee Express 2nd Ali Star Bert 3rd OConnell

Last-time-out Southwell scorer KILTA looked way ahead of the handicapper and the Curtain Time gelding is taken to make easy work of an 8lb rise in the ratings. Not for the first time, Yealand didn't run to his best ability at Carlisle earlier this month. Jennie Candlish's inmate shouldn't be judged too harshly on that fifth-placed defeat and he isn't taken lightly judged on previous performances, while Romeo Brown is likely to enjoy a return to this distance.
Prediction : 1st Kilta 2nd Yealand 3rd Romeo Brown

Although President Scottie could be described as a fortuitous winner having been left in the lead to open his account at Ayr last month, a current rating of 117 looks workable for Nicky Richards' charge. However, fellow in-form rival NORTH PARADE has been shaping as if this step up in distance could unlock further improvement and the nine-year-old edges the vote. Hashtag Boum and Shantou Moon are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st North Parade 2nd President Scottie 3rd Hashtag Boum
