I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who are supporting racing today, including Molson Coors and Racing TV The whole team here would also like to wish Bob Kerslake a very happy birthday. Bob is a great supporter of the sport and both Aintree and Haydock Racecourses and we hope he has a great day celebrating here. In honour of his big day, the 2.25pm will be ran in his name

At 4.10pm, runners and riders will go to post for the Tim Molony Handicap Steeple Chase, a race which takes place in memory of the great former champion jockey Tim’s family continue to attend this fixture here at Haydock, and we wish them all a lovely day with us

After today, we next race on Saturday the 8th of April when we will be hosting our Superhero Family Day. With characters straight out of the comic books, free children’s entertainment throughout the day plus a visit from the ponies, it really is a day not to be missed

I am also so excited to be able to let you all know that on the 24th of June, the multiaward-winning pop sensation Craig David will bring his unmissable show to Haydock Park With an astounding 23 UK top 40 singles, nine UK top 40 albums and over 5 billion streams worldwide, Craig David has achieved multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries around the world. We can’t wait to welcome him.

Lambourn Ringfort Stud Sponsor

Look out for the charity Racing to School today; you shouldn’t miss them as they will be leading a group of local pupils and their teachers through every corner of the racecourse for an action-packed day of fun challenges and discovery. The charity works nationwide with over 250 schools, and this year will reach around 16,000 young people – at UK racecourses, trainers’yards and studs.

They deliver free, outdoor activity days to support the learning and to boost the self-confidence of children aged nine and above. Racing to School uses racing venues as unique, fast-moving classrooms full of opportunities to practise and improve subjects like maths, literacy and problem-solving.

The charity is only able to support young people’s education through the kind donations it receives. Please scan this QR code to donate, if you can.

RESULTS

GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME

The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.

VETS SCREEN POLICY

We have agreed with our vets that the screen should be erected, whenever a horse requires veterinary treatment on the course. This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.

Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.

ONLYTHE BOLD has been most impressive following the switch to chasing for his newyard, following up his Bangor victory in November with plenty to spare at Hereford in January He gets the nod to defy another hike in the weights, with Richmond Lake, who has made a solid start over fences himself, the chief threat.

Stewards Note:

MR MULDOON: Following its run on 3/3/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Alnadam (FR), 9-2 Vocal Duke (IRE), 7-1 Better Getalong (IRE), Applaus (GER), 15-2 Hurlerontheditch (IRE), 9-1 Mr Muldoon (IRE), 16-1 On To Victory (GB), 20-1 Malpas (IRE), 28-1 Hasty Brook (FR), 33-1 Faron (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

ALNADAM fared better when third at Wetherby last month and is given a chance to build on that as he has plenty of handicapping scope on his peak form. Vocal Duke and lightly-raced handicap newcomer Hurlerontheditch are a couple who could give him something to think about.

PLAY SMARTER

YOUR OWN STORY looks a young chaser on the up and is taken to make light of a 7lb rise for his latest Wetherby success. No Cruise Yet and The Questioner are closely matched on last month’s North Wales National form at Bangor (the former has also run well in Eider since) and head the dangers along with Shanty Alley, who is back on a favourable mark.

PLAY SMARTER

A competitive staying handicap despite the small field with HORACIO APPLE’S looking to hold good claims. An improved model for the step up in trip/switch to handicaps, a 4lb rise for his latest Bangor success looks fair and he can make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Handicap debutants Galudon and Broomfield Present head up the dangers.

It’s been really encouraging to see ONE FINE MAN make such a bright start over fences following a lengthy absence, registering back-to-back chase victories in recent weeks, his jumping/application looking excellent. He gets the nod to defy a small rise in the weights and complete the hat-trick. Grey Diamond certainly has races in him from his present mark and is feared, along with Stratford winner Grandeur d’Ame. TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards In addition Haydock Park Racecourse employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital
