UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Solanna has filled the runner-up spot in each of his last three outings on the all-weather and is an interesting contender back on turf, but the vote goes to UNPLUGGED. The nine-year-old got back to winning ways at Pontefract last month and is just 4lb higher for that success. Provided he remains in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Guendolen completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Unplugged 2nd Solanna 3rd Guendolen

Canvas and CARLYLE SQUARE are both last-time-out winners, but slight preference is for the latter because she may have been worth more than the official margin suggests at Leicester. With the Julie Camacho stable in fine form, the daughter of Wootton Bassett could prove tough to beat. Canvas takes a step up in distance, but is likely to be on the premises again. King Of The Sea warrants a market check on his first outing in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Carlyle Square 2nd Canvas 3rd King Of The Sea

A chance can be taken on newcomer HAADERR, who changed hands for 175,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to unlucky Britannia runner-up La Botte. Much of the family have shown their best form over this distance so it would be no surprise to see him go in at the first time of asking. You Sexy Thing has shown ability in his two starts to date and will be bidding to put that experience to good use. Be The Standard needs to be monitored in the betting on his first outing.
Prediction : 1st Haaderr 2nd You Sexy Thing 3rd Be The Standard

FRANKIES DREAM failed to fire at Chester when last seen just over a month ago, but he won a competitive event at York prior to that defeat and can be given another chance. Brize Norton is another who could bounce back from an underwhelming effort last time and should not be underestimated, while Tactical Plan and Anthropologist complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Frankies Dream 2nd Brize Norton 3rd Tactical Plan

All of these have claims, but marginal preference is for BRIGHT TIMES AHEAD. Ralph Beckett's filly created a big impression when winning on debut at Newmarket last November and her only subsequent start came in the Fred Darling. She struggled at Newbury, but the three-month break suggests that was not her true form and the daughter of Lope De Vega can be given another chance. Forty Years On could pose the biggest threat, although any market support for Bintkend would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Bright Times Ahead 2nd Forty Years On 3rd Bintkend

ALPINE GIRL won on just her second start for Julie Camacho at Doncaster earlier in the month and the five-year-old may be underestimated by a 2lb rise for that success. A Girl Named Ivy has been knocking on the door of late and could give the selection plenty to think about. Others to note are Peregrine Falcon and Secret Mistral.
Prediction : 1st Alpine Girl 2nd A Girl Named Ivy 3rd Peregrine Falcon
