UK Horse Racing Tips: Haydock

ANCESTOR put a disappointing debut effort well behind him when scoring with plenty in hand at Yarmouth last time. The son of Sea The Stars had a subsequent winner back in third, so that form looks solid enough and William Haggas' charge is taken to improve further and defy a penalty. Newbury third Tropical Sands boasts stronger form than Golden Caviar and will probably give the selection the most to think about.
Prediction : 1st Ancestor 2nd Tropical Sands 3rd Golden Caviar

Dream Harder resumed winning ways at Epsom with the help of a first-time tongue strap. He remains well treated on his best form, despite a 4lb penalty, but CAPH STAR could edge a tight contest. The latter was well clear of the rest when finishing a close second under Harry Rimell at Newbury and a similar effort should see him bang there at the finish once again. Chester runner-up Fast Fred is also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Caph Star 2nd Dream Harder 3rd Fast Fred

God Given Talent tries his luck over the minimum trip on the back of a decent effort over 6f in Listed company at Newbury. He makes his nursery debut along with DANCE A JIG, who found life tough in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time having gone close in a competitive conditions race over 5f at the same track before that. Ralph Beckett's charge makes most appeal on that form, while Undercover Affair and Casino Star rate best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dance A Jig 2nd God Given Talent 3rd Undercover Affair

Arthurian looked the sort to learn plenty for the experience after finishing sixth on his debut over a furlong shorter at Newbury when only beaten three lengths. He looks worthy of a close market watch, but a chance is taken on newcomer GOLDEN FALCON. Saeed bin Suroor's son of Space Blues looks bred for stamina and this mile may be ideal first time up. Fellow newcomers Burning Up and Skylar are others to watch in a wide-open contest.
Prediction : 1st Golden Falcon 2nd Arthurian 3rd Burning Up

Silver Sovereign ran well to finish second at Salisbury on her only start, beaten two lengths at the line, and in recept of 7lb from SYNDICALE she makes the race more interesting. Karl Burke's filly is a half-sister to the top-class Ombudsman and was sent off odds-on at Wolverhampton before winning by half a length, coming from off the pace to win with a bit in hand and is expected to go on from there. Aphra Behn could prove best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Syndicale 2nd Silver Sovereign 3rd Aphra Behn

RAFFLES ANGEL ticks plenty of boxes back up in trip for the first time in over two years after running on into third over 6f at Newbury last month. He won his only start here off 2lb higher in July last year and looks ready for another bold effort. Tokyo Joe showed a willing attitude to hold off all challengers by a neck to score at Ffos Las and an added 1lb may not hinder him too much, with Invincible Ruby the pick for third.
Prediction : 1st Raffles Angel 2nd Tokyo Joe 3rd Invincible Ruby
