UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

With only one rival to beat, this appeals as an ideal opportunity for CLASSIC MAESTRO to get off the mark over fences. A promising runner-up on his debut at Lingfield in February, Jennie Candlish's charge has since won three times over hurdles and sets a lofty standard. Not in action since a novice hurdle at Carlisle in March 2022, Barrowdale is likely to improve plenty for the run.
Prediction : 1st Classic Maestro 2nd Barrowdale 3rd null

MEDIEVAL GOLD may not have been in action since scoring at Perth in May, but he did so in comfortable fashion on that occasion and a mark of 108 on his handicap debut looks workable. A capable sort on his day, Speed Davis has undergone wind surgery since disappointing at Uttoxeter in June, while Honneur D'Ajonc has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate run at Fontwell.
Prediction : 1st Medieval Gold 2nd Speed Davis 3rd Honneur DAjonc

HOLLOWAY QUEEN seemed to be value for more than the winning margin when hanging left late in the piece at Lingfield on her hurdles bow. The daughter of Jukebox Jury is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming, and she is narrowly preferred to Kelya Wood, who could not have won any easier at Uttoxeter last month. A winner of three of her last five starts in this sphere, Fromheretoeternity cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Holloway Queen 2nd Kelya Wood 3rd Fromheretoeternity

INTIMATE made a promising start to his chasing career when finishing runner-up behind a useful type on his seasonal reappearance at Sandown recently and, nudged up 1lb, he gets the vote to land the spoils with that run under his belt. The largely consistent Netywell finished just over eight lengths behind a subsequent winner when third over this track and trip last month, and he must enter calculations eased 1lb. Sunnyvilla is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Intimate 2nd Netywell 3rd Sunnyvilla

East Street has notched up three wins from four starts for this stable and he is of interest back at the scene of his latest victory, however a career-high mark does pose a question of James Owen's eight-year-old. With that in mind, a chance is taken on FRENCHY DU LARGE. Venetia Williams' charge was the subject of market support when only finding one rival too good on his return from an absence at Ludlow earlier this month. That effort should have teed him up nicely for a tilt at this and, off 3lb higher, he looks the one to be with. Jacks Parrot and Famous Bridge are a couple of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Frenchy Du Large 2nd East Street 3rd Famous Bridge

MILLDAM showed progressive form last term winning three times over timber. The six-year-old ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Huntingdon before fading in the closing stages, and gets another chance with Jamie Snowden's yard in good form. The headstrong Admiralty House has gone close on a couple of occasions and has the ability to win in this grade if learning to settle better, while Carlisle runner-up Coventry can feature again.
Prediction : 1st Milldam 2nd Admiralty House 3rd Coventry

Spike Jones made a winning reappearance at Lingfield in first-time cheekpieces. Raised only 2lb, another bold showing looks likely, but MAGICAL KING is preferred in this grade. Stuart Edmunds' charge finished a respectable third in a competitive handicap at Aintree on his first outing since March, and this looks a decent opportunity to regain the winning thread. Supremely West shaped well at Hexham on his comeback and could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Magical King 2nd Spike Jones 3rd Supremely West
