It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome all our Annual Members today.

Like all good couples, Richard and Judy, William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway and salt and pepper, flat and jumps racing live in harmony in the UK It is delightful that they are amalgamated on this unique day celebrating the eclectic nature of British racing. Today is an exclusive card in the calendar, as the only “mixed” fixture in the year

The Swinton Hurdle, today’s feature contest, is a fascinating affair and the first big race of the 2024/25 jumps season Winners in the past have been varied in their careers. Alumni include Syballin, a future Tingle Creek winner, Dreams End a double winner who had a career at stud and Blue Bajan, a previous City and Suburban Handicap winner, ridden by Graham Lee at Haydock. We all wish Graham well as he continues his recovery from a horrific fall at Newcastle in the autumn.

The chief supporting race in the flat is a thoroughly absorbing Listed contest over 7 furlongs. It is very often used as trial for the John of Gaunt Stakes which is held next month here.

Annual badgeholders have a bona-fide medley of facilities at their disposal today. From viewing boxes high upon in the county stand, to reserved seating and a designated bar, there’s plenty of amenities for you all.

If you turn left out of Haydock Park, follow the A49 for about 90 miles and turn left again, you will get to Ludlow Racecourse. Tomorrow, Haydock Park members areadmittedfree on one ofourcacophony of reciprocal days I hope to see you all there and today and wish you an enjoyable and successful afternoons racing.

PLAY SMARTER

ZAIN NIGHTS is a hurdler on the up and a 6lb rise for Cheltenham may not be sufficient to prevent him from completing the hat-trick given he remains unexposed at the trip Harbour Lake meets the selection on 4lb better terms and shouldn’t be far away again, while Lord Snootie is also one to note in what is set to be a fiercely-competitive event.

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Sunny Street (IRE), 5-1 King’s Fountain (GB), 11-2 Winterfair (IRE), 8-1 Cerulean Bay (IRE), Cheshire Dancer (IRE), 12-1 Johnny Ringo (GB), 18-1 Bravo Zulu (IRE), Sennockian (IRE), 20-1 Silent Move (GB)

SUNNY STREET seemed to shirk the issue when splitting a pair of subsequent winners on his handicap bow at Southwell but he’s clearly well handicapped so is worth another chance back from a break. Cerulean Bay should come on from his decent return at Beverley and is next best ahead of Winterfair

PLAY SMARTER

BALLEE did really well to stick at it for as long as he did having helped contribute to an overly-strong gallop at Aintree a month ago, and at the forecast prices, he looks the way to go Lark In The Mornin will do for many on the back of his ready Boodles win but the juice in his price has gone, while Rare Middleton may well be able to reverse last month’s Cheltenham form with Tintintin.

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.

DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2023: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LASTYEAR Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 5. Running for the first time since Gelding No 6. Stewards Note:

AMASAR: Following its run on 30/10/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Cambria Legend (IRE), 4-1 Minstrel Knight (GB), 13-2 Rogue Raider (USA), 7-1 Continuance (GB), 8-1 Yippee (GB), 12-1 Rich Harry (USA), 16-1 Amasar (GB)

CAMBRIA LEGEND perhaps should have gone even closer still on his yard debut at Yarmouth last time and James Fanshawe’s gelding is fancied to one better at the chief expense of Minstrel Knight, who promises to be suited by this longer trip Rich Harry held his form well last season and can come on for his seasonal return to finish third.
