Race 1 Haydock 13:10 Handicap (Class 5) 10f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
10	3 Cathayensis All 3 wins have come at Newcastle but confirmed she's effective on turf when fourth at Redcar 10 days ago. Return to this trip will suit and she has to be of interest. 6-21164	9-9	Christian Howarth	Grant Tuer	3/1	3.5/1	17
12	1 Dogged Losing run stretches back to 2019. Down in the weights and threatening to come good for this yard, hampered by a loose horse at Thirsk last time. Up in trip. One to consider. 5-58247	9-10	Jonny Peate	Rebecca Menzies	3.5/1	2.5/1		29
20	7 Intercessor Long way clear of the rest when runner-up in a C&D handicap in April. Up 5 lb for that and in nothing like the same form at Ripon but he can bounce back. 006-425	9-4	Aidan Keeley	John Gallagher	4/1	2.5/1		38
20	2 Zambezi Magic Losing run mounting up but ended 2021 in good order with a trio of in-frame efforts. Held up in a steadily-run race at Chester so that run overlooked and this represents a drop in class. 234-050	9-10	Jordan Williams	Bernard Llewellyn	4.5/1	6.5/1	44
241	6 Hot Team Showed a willing attitude when landing 6-runner handicap over 9.2f at Hamilton in September. Another sound effort at Newcastle a week later but no surprise were he to just need this having left Richard Fahey in the interim. 853615-	9-4	Liam Browne	Patrick Morris	7/1	25/1	257
33	5 Balqaa Improved form on the back of a wind op and fitted with cheekpieces when landing 1m handicap at Newcastle in January. Better than result on several occasions subsequently for Ivan Furtado but has since moved yards. 0-18355	9-4	Gianluca Sanna	Stella Barclay	9/1	11/1	22
181	4 Fandabidozi Had just a maiden win to this name and off the track since November. Has left Mark Johnston and this trip could be on the sharp side for new yard (has had a wind op). 334765-	9-6	Rhona Pindar	Gary Hanmer	16/1	12/1		25

There are 7 runners in this race.

Race 2 Haydock 13:40 Maiden (Class 4) 10f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
241	1 Chichen Itza Stepped up on debut run when third of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) in September. Very much the type to make a better 3-y-o as her stamina is drawn out and she's in top hands. 43-	9-2	Kevin Stott	Sir Michael Stoute	0.73/1	0.8/1	10
20	4 Crystal Caves 180,000 gns yearling, Almanzor filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 8.6f-1¼m winner Riven Light and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Last Waltz. Clear promise amidst greenness starting out at Ascot and sure to improve for red-hot yard. 7	9-2	Cieren Fallon	William Haggas	4.5/1	5.5/1	22
204	6 Mimikyu From a family connections know well but could manage only eighth of 13 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) on debut, not knocked about. Off 6 months and up in trip. 8-	9-2	Sean Levey	John & Thady	6/1	5/1		17
34	5 Darmoiselle Dubawi filly who is bred to be smart but seemed too green when tenth of 12 in a novice at Sandown (10f, good) on debut last month. Could be a different proposition this time. 0	9-2	Kieran Shoemark	John & Thady	8.5/1	6/1		29
0	7 Queen Of Change Sea The Stars filly. Closely related to very smart winner up to 1¼m Century Dream and 1m winner Banna. Dam 6f winner. Lot to like on paper.	9-2	Harry Burns	Simon & Ed	10/1	12/1	20
33	2 Control Minor promise in a brace of novice events 5 months apart at up to 1m. 7-8	9-2	Daniel Muscutt	John Butler	80/1	40/1		50
39	3 Craft In Silk Too green to show much when fourteenth of 15 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good to firm) on debut 39 days ago. 0	9-2	Thore Hammer	Ismail Mohammed	80/1	100/1	25

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
19	1 Banddar Foaled March 16. Dark Angel colt. Half-brother to useful 7f/1m winner Mother Country. Dam 2-y-o 7f/1m winner, runner-up in UAE 1000 Guineas. Showed plenty to work on amid greenness when fifth of 8 in novice event at Ascot (5f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. Will improve. 5	9-7	Kieran Shoemark	Saeed bin Suroor	1.63/1	1.62/1		1
9	6 Maxi King Foaled March 9. 280,000 gns foal, €50,000 yearling, Belardo colt. Half-brother to smart 2-y-o 6f winner Minzaal. Dam unraced. Fared best of the newcomers when second of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago, doing good work late on. Sets the standard and should progress. 2	9-7	Clifford Lee	David Loughnane	2.5/1	4.5/1	80
0	7 Mutaany Foaled April 26. Invincible Spirit colt. Brother to smart 6f winner Eqtidaar and half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winners Massaat (very smart) and Mujbar (useful). Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard 1-7 with 2-y-o newcomers this year.	9-7	Dane O'Neill	Charles Hills	3.75/1	5.5/1	47

Race 4 Haydock 14:40 Handicap (Class 4) 6f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
34	1 Lethal Nymph Winner of 6f novice events at Wolverhampton and Doncaster last month. Surely more to come and opening mark of 87 looks manageable. 11	9-11	Adam Kirby	Clive Cox	0.83/1	0.73/1		12
18	6 Lethal Levi Third win when seeing off 7 rivals in 6f Yarmouth handicap in April and good fourth of 12 in competitive Sky Bet Sunday Series handicap at Hamilton since. Cheekpieces worn in Scotland left off now. Likely to go well for in-form yard. 132-314	9-5	Clifford Lee	K R Burke	4.5/1	3.33/1		26
13	3 Melayu Kingdom Thirsk debut scorer last spring who was fourth in a Ripon listed next time. Touch disappointing since but latest fifth of 15 in 5f handicap at York's Ebor meeting was a step back in the right direction and the return to 6f should suit. 149-465	9-9	Kevin Stott	Kevin Ryan	6.5/1	16/1	146
15	7 Another Investment Won York novice on final 2yo start. Unable to make a significant impact in 2 handicap starts this season but his mark is edging down. 701-55	9-4	Jack Mitchell	Nigel Tinkler	7.5/1	9/1	20
20	2 Amazonian Dream Ended last summer on the up with a brace of 5f handicap wins. Yet to threaten this season but he didn't fare too badly when making late headway into mid-division in a big field at Ascot latest. 0011-79	9-9	Daniel Muscutt	Rod Millman	11/1	10/1		9
14	5 Eternal Halo Has failed to make an impact in 3 listed events since her York novice success last spring. A drop to handicap company provides her with a more realistic chance but it's hard to argue her mark looks generous. 4170-7	9-7	Sean Levey	Keith Dalgleish	18/1	20/1	11
41	4 Fly To Glory Started his career with a pair of 6f Newcastle novice wins. Made an inauspicious start to his handicap career when last of 12 at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month but it's still early days. Makes turf debut here. 1130	9-7	Kieran Shoemark	Archie Watson	18/1	28/1	56

Race 5 Haydock 15:10 Handicap (Class 4) 5f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
18	8 Sound Reason Third win when coming through in good style from off the pace to lead late on at Carlisle (5f) last August and shaped as if just needing the run after 8 months off when fourth at Hamilton earlier this month. One to bear in mind from this mark. 33512-4	9-5	Kevin Stott	Kevin Ryan	3.5/1	1.62/1		54
613	3 Sampers Seven Scored twice for this yard in her 3-y-o campaign but she's clearly had her issues having not been seen for 20 months. This outing likely to reveal what ability remains. 213142/	9-8	Adam Kirby	Michael Appleby	6/1	6.5/1	8
18	4 Miss Nay Never Left first 2 runs of the year behind to gain fourth career success (all on AW) at Wolverhampton (5f) in March but failed to finish as well as she travelled back on turf at Hamilton recently. That tempers enthusiasm somewhat for this. 04-8716	9-7	Jason Hart	John Quinn	10/1	4.5/1		55
204	2 Wrenthorpe Nottingham specialist who ended last season with a creditable third at that venue, bumping into a couple of much less-exposed sorts. Has needed the run previously returning from a break so others make more appeal on this occasion. 668203-	9-8	Gianluca Sanna	Bryan Smart	12/1	14/1	17
223	6 Never Dark Landed a second 5f Musselburgh success of last season when seeing off 8 rivals in the mud in October but unable to land a blow in a much stronger race 4 days later at this course (6f). Worth a market check returning from 7 months off. 634518-	9-7	Clifford Lee	Iain Jardine	12/1	5.5/1		54
17	12 Street Life Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when fourth at Wolverhampton earlier this month, fading final 50 yds. This a rare start on the turf nowadays but his latest effort back in September (over C&D) was a winning one. Interesting. 11124-4	8-5	Morgan Cole	Patrick Morris	16/1	9/1		44
91	10 Hey Mr Winless last season but ended the campaign with a pair of placed efforts at Nottingham (5f) from his easing mark. Likely first run for 4 months/yard debut was needed at Southwell in February (had breathing operation) and now operating from career-low mark. 04933-8	8-12	Lewis Edmunds	Les Eyre	20/1	7/1		65
6	11 Duke Of Firenze Veteran who ended last season with a bit of a whimper and made no impression on return at Catterick 6 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 76560-6	8-8	Laura Coughlan	David C Griffiths	33/1	40/1	21

There are 8 runners in this race.

Race 6 Haydock 15:40 Stakes (Class 4) 7f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
26	1 Zanbaq Created a very good impression when making winning debut in 14-runner novice at Kempton (7f) in November. Bettered that form when third in 1m Goodwood listed on her reappearance and will be very hard to beat with sights lowered. 1-3	9-5	Dane O'Neill	Roger Varian	0.22/1	0.3/1	36
20	4 Melody Cher Stepped up on last summer's turf debut when third of 11 in 7f Wolverhampton novice 20 days ago. Capable of better again but a good chunk of improvement will likely be needed to see of Zanbaq. 7-3	8-13	Cieren Fallon	Sir Michael Stoute	3.75/1	4.5/1	20
10	6 Twilight Falls Green and showed promise when third of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (7f, soft, 16/1) on debut 10 days ago but she was beaten 9 lengths and a good deal more will be required if she's to give the favourite something to think about. 3	8-13	Clifford Lee	Michael Dods	20/1	12/1		40
0	3 Glam Up Showcasing half-sister to several winners, including smart 1¼m-1¾m winner Maid Up and 1m winner Rumpole. Decent pedigree but she'll need to be good to lower the colours of Zanbaq on debut.	8-13	Kieran Shoemark	Ed Walker	22/1	20/1		9
10	2 Gala Bella 28/1, in need of experience when seventh of 12 in maiden at Leicester (5f, good to firm) on debut 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip. 7	8-13	Theodore Ladd	Michael Appleby	100/1	100/1		0
100	5 Thewaytothestars Only minor promise in AW runs over 7f and 1m for Ed Bethell at the start of the year. It's likely she's more one for handicaps after this. 47	8-13	Jack Mitchell	Lucinda Russell	100/1	100/1		0

Race 7 Haydock 16:15 Handicap (Class 5) 7f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
20	1 Autumn Festival Is on the upgrade, fending off a couple of fellow improvers when resuming winning ways at Beverley in April. Even better form in defeat when runner-up at Ripon subsequently (1m) and remains of firm interest. 691212	9-9	Adam Kirby	David O'Meara	1.75/1	2.25/1	29
31	2 Emeralds Pride Much improved after 7 months off when landing 14-runner maiden at Thirsk (6f, good, 14/1) 31 days ago, edging ahead final ½f from a next-time-out winner. Good chance if reproducing that back in handicap company. 3239-1	9-8	Clifford Lee	Michael Dods	3.5/1	3.5/1		0
37	4 Above It All Improved in first-time blinkers to get off the mark at Kempton in March and nearly followed up from 7 lb higher at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Can give another good account back on turf. 653-412	9-6	Kieran Shoemark	Ed Walker	5/1	4.5/1		10
70	3 Tudor Queen Fair maiden who was below form on AW debut after 5 months off when seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) in March. Eased 2 lb and better expected now stepping back up to 7f on turf following a breathing operation. 37436-7	9-7	Kevin Stott	Kevin Ryan	10/1	7.5/1		25
8	7 Geopolitic Fair maiden who ran no more than respectably when fifth in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) last week. More needed. 045-85	9-5	Liam Browne	Richard Hannon	12/1	20/1	67
205	5 Samuel Spade Signs of ability in novice events and will hold more chance now handicapping. 667-	9-6	Daniel Muscutt	David O'Meara	12/1	20/1	67
205	8 Brunello Breeze Modest form at best in a trio of novices but will have more chance now handicapping. 679-	9-3	Cieren Fallon	Tom Tate	14/1	9/1		36
122	9 Costa Adeje Maiden who failed to beat a rival in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (6f, 20/1) on latest outing in January. Easy enough to look elsewhere. 0646-70	9-1	Pierre-Louis Jamin	Tom Dascombe	22/1	7/1		68
