UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Clear Force will find life easier in this nursery having faced a couple of tough assignments since landing a novice race at Ripon. He has bags of early pace, but will likely be taken on for the lead by Under The Radar, and that could play into the hands of SILENT APPLAUSE. Charlie Appleby's charge beat a subsequent winner with the minimum of fuss at Nottingham on his first start over 5f and could prove better than his opening mark.
Prediction : 1st Silent Applause 2nd Clear Force 3rd Under The Radar

SALIGO BAY won an amateur race over 1m4f when last seen at this venue in May. This longer trip holds no fears for Sam England's inmate, given he's subsequently scored over hurdles, and he returns to this code with a leading chance. Nibras Gold also reverts to the Flat with solid claims having made all at Beverley in June, while Fast Fred won under Pippa Brown at Carlisle this summer and can make his presence felt once again.
Prediction : 1st Saligo Bay 2nd Nibras Gold 3rd Fast Fred

RESPOND was trapped on the rail entering the final furlong at Sandown last time, but he rallied strongly for second once switched for a clear run and will likely be winning soon on that evidence. Windsor runner-up Mukhtalif has shaped nicely in both outings so far and this return to quicker ground will suit, while Twilight Safari is heading in the right direction based on his solid second at Pontefract last time.
Prediction : 1st Respond 2nd Mukhtalif 3rd Twilight Safari

A few with chances but preference is for WHAT'S THE PLAN, who outperformed market expectation when filling the runner-up spot on his debut. The winner now boasts an official rating of 88 and the fourth-placed rival has since won, so any progression might suffice here. That said, Newcastle second Beny Nahar ought to be a real threat with Oisin Murphy booked, while Red Spells Danger and the Karl Burke-trained debutant Shayem could also be involved.
Prediction : 1st Whats The Plan 2nd Beny Nahar 3rd Red Spells Danger

A confident vote goes to MOONSHINE. Ed Walker's filly displayed signs of inexperience on her debut at Newbury but kept on well into third nonetheless. The daughter of Starman looks sure to benefit from the extra furlong she encounters here and is expected to go in at the second time of asking. The others with experience can be passed over, so it could be that newcomers Samra Green and Art Gallery provide the strongest challenge.
Prediction : 1st Moonshine 2nd Samra Green 3rd Art Gallery

Both Stratocracy and Crown's Lady have been in excellent form recently and must enter calculations, as must Beaming Light, who hit the woodwork when attempting to complete a four-timer at Doncaster most recently. However, it might pay to side with RASCAL RECKNELL. The gelded son of Wootton Bassett took a giant leap forward to score on his first start for Mick Appleby in June and given that he remains well treated from 2lb higher, there should be more in the locker.
Prediction : 1st Rascal Recknell 2nd Stratocracy 3rd Crowns Lady
