UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Alice Tregoning has got acquainted with ATALANTA BREEZE on her last three appearances, with a Ffos Las second last month a strong hint that the eight-year-old mare retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game. Two miles at Lingfield subsequently probably stretched her but her fourth-place wasn't bad and she is preferred to Shield Of Honour, who claimed a classified event at Yarmouth prior to a decent Ripon effort. Just An Hour is working his way back into form and has dropped to a nice mark.
Prediction : 1st Atalanta Breeze 2nd Shield Of Honour 3rd Just An Hour

WE DARE TO DREAM and Boston Run bring identical form figures to the table, but David O'Meara's colt has chased home a couple of youngsters who have gone on to acquit themselves well at a high level so may be the way to go. That's not to say Boston Run can't step forward from his C&D and Hamilton seconds, although Sir Peter Fossick may be a bigger threat after filling the runner-up spot at Epsom before being undone by a wide draw at Glorious Goodwood. Better was expected of Captain Harry at Chester, but he can't be written off yet.
Prediction : 1st We Dare To Dream 2nd Sir Peter Fossick 3rd Boston Run

Things didn't go to plan for GREEN ICON when sent off a warm favourite for his Nottingham introduction, but he made no mistake next time at Chelmsford. The runner-up has gone one better since to give the form a boost and Owen Burrows' colt can take full advantage of what might be a lenient opening figure. Chuti Manika is not as obviously well treated, but also made it second-time lucky at Catterick and has to be respected. Feeraas, who cost 150,000gns as a yearling, has shown ability and has been gelded ahead of his nursery bow.
Prediction : 1st Green Icon 2nd Feeraas 3rd Chuti Manika

CALEDONIAN showed marked improvement from first to second start when keeping on in second over 7f at Yarmouth last month, and stepping up to a mile on this occasion could be the making of him. King Casper has a 4lb penalty to overcome for scoring comfortably here last time out, while costly purchase Silver Peak was green when hanging left on debut at Kempton. Aegean Sea has the form to get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Caledonian 2nd King Casper 3rd Silver Peak

DEFENCE MINISTER may have a 7lb penalty to overcome for success on debut at Newmarket last month, but he did so in taking fashion and there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Too Darn Hot. He gets the vote ahead of promising Redcar second Arabian Angel and Double Rush, who ran well on debut but was no match for a smart sort of Saeed bin Suroor's at Windsor.
Prediction : 1st Defence Minister 2nd Arabian Angel 3rd Double Rush

Having justified strong support in the market when scoring at Doncaster last month, there is likely more to come from NAAEY. A 6lb higher rating looks far from insurmountable for the lightly-raced four-year-old and another win could be on the cards. The hat-trick seeking Elladonna has proved a different proposition since racing over 1m2f, as evidenced with victories at Nottingham and Salisbury. James Fanshawe's filly is feared most, ahead of Wisper.
Prediction : 1st Naaey 2nd Elladonna 3rd Wisper

The application of first-time cheekpieces enabled a career-best performance from FREE SPEECH when she scored in ready fashion at Pontefract in July. Ed Dunlop's filly could make light work of a 5lb rise in the ratings and she shades the verdict over D Day Arvalenreeva. The daughter of Mastercraftsman arrives on the back of a close-up second at Windsor and another prominent showing looks assured. Fun Loving is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Free Speech 2nd D Day Arvalenreeva 3rd Fun Loving
