UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

Haarar rarely runs badly and is expected to play a prominent role in a tough handicap for punters to solve. The unexposed hurdlers make a bit more appeal, though, with LE YACHT fancied to build on his Doncaster success. He stayed on well to win over an extended 2m on Town Moor and stretching out in trip can ensure he remains a step ahead of the assessor. Keep Super Freddie in mind too.
Prediction : 1st Le Yacht 2nd Super Freddie 3rd Haarar

BILL JOYCE goes chasing for the first time and should take a bit of beating judged on the pick of his hurdles form, which includes a third in the Challow behind The New Lion. His form tailed off towards the end of the campaign, but he has won first time up for the last two seasons and is taken to bounce back. Ayiko and Lario will be there to pick up the pieces if the selection misfires.
Prediction : 1st Bill Joyce 2nd Ayiko 3rd Lario

Milldam was beaten a long way here last month, but is entitled to have improved for that first start since March and he'll appreciate softer underfoot conditions. He could be one for the each-way player but, for win purposes, COBBLER'S BOY might be well handicapped on the back of a very impressive maiden hurdle success at Warwick earlier in the year. The in-form Saligo Bay must also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Cobblers Boy 2nd Saligo Bay 3rd Milldam

SUNNYVILLA won this last year for trainer Nicky Richards and he is back for more as a 10-year-old in 2025. He does have 5lb more from the handicapper this season but looks to have been primed for a repeat attempt after a fourth over C&D last month, his first start since February. If he improves for that as expected then he could prove too good for My Noble Lord, who looks interesting on just his second start over fences, with Escapeandevade the pick for third.
Prediction : 1st Sunnyvilla 2nd My Noble Lord 3rd Escapeandevade

Jacks Parrot sits high in the market after a fourth over hurdles at Bangor and he has no issues with either the trip or the going. Top Of The Bill has been put up 9lb for an easy C&D win last month and warrants plenty of respect, but a chance is taken on FENLAND TIGER. Lightly raced, he ran well when second at Carlisle on his second start since February 2024 and could be coming good just at the right time.
Prediction : 1st Fenland Tiger 2nd Top Of The Bill 3rd Jacks Parrot

SUPREME MALINAS accounted for A Path To Ronda when making a successful beginning to her hurdling career at Exeter and beat Roses All The Way to Listed honours in a Huntingdon bumper last season. She can strike at the same level in this sphere, although Jackie Hobbs forced a couple of subsequent winners to settle for minor honours on her own timber bow at Newbury and is a big threat. La Zoubida hasn't put a foot wrong over obstacles yet and will relish conditions.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Malinas 2nd Jackie Hobbs 3rd La Zoubida

ERNEST GRAY is now starting to fulfil his early promise and built on a Worcester second when going one better at Aintree. That race is working out well and although he encounters softer ground now, it shouldn't be a problem. Gwennie May Star stayed on stoutly to just prevail at Warwick, and conditions won't be a problem for Jalisco Star either following her recent Uttoxeter triumph. Super Survivor can step forward from his solid Windsor comeback, while Gege Ville is worth a look despite the absence.
Prediction : 1st Ernest Gray 2nd Gwennie May Star 3rd Jalisco Star
