Haydock

Tomorrow, FlatClass 55f

BRAZILIAN BELLE looked an unlucky loser having met with trouble at crucial stages when third at Musselburgh 4 days ago and compensation may well await Michael Dods' filly here. Knicks needs to dispel his latest Southwell run, yet the pick of his form this term gives him solid claims and he's operating from a handy mark. Dual C&D winner Secret Mistral and Our Absent Friends round off the shortlist in the finale.

    Verdict
    C&D winner who ended a losing run from a 6 lb lower mark at Doncaster (5f) in March. Went close again in small field at Yarmouth (5.2f) in June and possibly needed the run after 3 months off when last of 7 in handicap back at that venue 31 days ago. Better showing anticipated.

    Verdict
    Doubled her career tally at Thirsk (5f) in July and held form well since, looking an unlucky loser when third of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 7/1) 4 days ago, denied a run on 2 occasions. Serious player on that evidence turned out quickly.

    Verdict
    Kept busy last month, building on placed efforts from his reduced mark when landing 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f) on penultimate start. Fourth quick run possibly caught him out back there next time and no surprise to see a better display here.

    Verdict
    Dual C&D winner who was a good third at Chester in July (Knicks placed second) and best effort since when runner-up over the extended 5f trip back there 4 weeks ago, headed late having gone off a bit too hard. Likely to give it her best shot again back at a bare 5f.

    Verdict
    3-time winner over 5f last season who has been lightly raced this time around, albeit appearing to have no excuses when a below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 18/1) 20 days ago. Others appeal more on balance.

    Verdict
    Arrives on a losing run but he's gone close on occasions this term, including when runner-up from 2 lb higher mark at Chester (5f) in July. Form has been up and down since but probably best to ignore last month's Southwell run and he's lurking on a handy mark. Blinkers discarded now.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in September. 4/1, shaped as if still in good form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago, challenging well away from main action from a low draw. Looks competitive on form.

    Verdict
    C&D winner but it's now thirteen runs since last win in 2024 and he's struggled for consistency this season, folding tamely over 1f out when last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive.

    Verdict
    Dual 6f winner but essentially not fired in a light 2025 campaign, off bridle before most when ninth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Needs to step up plenty on that if he's to figure back at the minimum trip.

    Verdict
    Successful at Ayr in July and defied a much-inflated mark when going in again at Musselburgh (5f) in August. Excuses next start and shaped as if back in form when respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) 4 days ago, forced to challenging on far wing.

    Verdict
    Proved better than ever equipped with cheekpieces when scoring at Bath (5f) last month. However, not in same form having been raised 3 lb when eighth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) on Wednesday. Blinkers now the headgear of choice.
