UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

PROTEST finished fourth in a strong Listed contest at Newbury before making a winning handicap debut at Goodwood. Roger Varian's filly found plenty in the final furlong to win a shade cosily on that occasion and is likely to prove competitive back at this higher level. Never Let Go landed the Sandringham in fine style at Royal Ascot in June and has solid claims, while the unexposed Suite Francaise enters calculations too.
Prediction : 1st Protest 2nd Never Let Go 3rd Suite Francaise

DETAIN finished an excellent third behind Camillle Pissarro in the French Derby before running flat at Royal Ascot in June. A repeat of his Chantilly form would make the son of Wootton Bassett hard to beat and he's taken to show his true colours. Haatem returns to 1m2f with every chance based on his victory in the Wolferton, while Royal Dubai made a winning debut for Owen Burrows at Newbury and could also shape well.
Prediction : 1st Detain 2nd Haatem 3rd Royal Dubai

ANTELOPE has performed well in higher grade handicaps since landing a double back in May. That brace included a C&D success and Richard Hannon's charge looks worth another chance back at this level. Masterinthewoods has been in fine fettle over 1m4f since finding the selection too good at Leicester and he could have a say in the outcome, while Boston Run gets a change of headgear and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Antelope 2nd Masterinthewoods 3rd Boston Run

EXCELLENT BELIEVE failed to land a blow when sixth in Listed company at Chester last month and now makes his handicap debut. Jack Channon's three-year-old is likely to have lots more to offer and he looks the way to go. Catalyse finished fifth at Doncaster on his most recent start and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 3lb for that. Gorak is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Excellent Believe 2nd Catalyse 3rd Gorak

TROPICAL HEAT took a step forward to get off the mark at Sandown last time and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests that day. With just a 5lb higher rating to contend with and Rossa Ryan booked, she could be the one to beat. Latynina failed to back up her Chester triumph when only fourth at Redcar latest, but she isn't one to write off. Of the remainder, The Sweet Escape makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Tropical Heat 2nd Latynina 3rd The Sweet Escape

Now that BILLYB has got back to winning ways after a taking performance at York last time out, the six-year-old can follow up off 4lb higher while confidence is high. Padishakh has performed with credit since scoring at Nottingham in May and is expected to be thereabouts, along with Qazaq, who has dropped back to a mark just 1lb higher than his last win.
Prediction : 1st Billyb 2nd Padishakh 3rd Qazaq

DOUBLE PARKED was too free to do himself justice over further at Wolverhampton last time out, but could go well dropping back to 1m having scored over this trip at Redcar on his penultimate outing. Raised 3lb for a comfortable success over shorter at York last month, Chesneys Charm must be a leading contender, as well as Perfidia and Chepstow winner Time After Time.
Prediction : 1st Double Parked 2nd Chesneys Charm 3rd Time After Time
