I’d like to welcome all our Annual Members to Betfred Temple Stakes Day at Haydock Park.

The Temple is a fantastic test of exceptionally quick equine talent. Previous winners of this contest include Dayjur, Lochsong, Sole Power and the great Battaash Today’sfieldlooksthoroughlycompetitiveandhopefully we see a performance to match the aforementioned brilliance of those already named First run in 1965 and at Sandown Park for many years, the Betfred Temple Stakes is a precursor to a long-established pattern of five furlong high class races throughout the season, with the Kings Stand, King George Stakes and Nunthorpe all on the agenda for some of the horses running today.

The supporting card consisting of the Sandy Lane and Silver Bowl is likely to give us Royal Ascot clues with the classic generation represented in both races The former has been afforded Group 2 status since 2015 and the race has consequently flourished. As befits a day of this esteemed calibre, ITV Racing are basing themselves here today

At your disposal today is the usual menagerie of facilities mentioned at your disposal from your reserved seating area to private boxes to view today’s action

As is usual at this time of year, the action comes thick and fast at Haydock Park in the forthcoming weeks with the John of Gaunt Stakes coming up in just a fortnight. The flat season crescendos with the Sprint Cup in early September.

We have reciprocal action coming up thick and fast over the next few weeks, with our ever-popular Cartmel reciprocal this coming Bank Holiday Monday A truly unique course, with one of the shortest circuits and longest run-ins in the country and a superb array of entertainment for all the family, it is one not to miss

I hope you have an enjoyable and successful afternoons racing and look forward to seeing many of you through the day.

Hewill prove hardto beat ifresuming intop form.That said,thiswill be no penalty kick if Inisherin, who was a fine sixth in the 2000 Guineas, copes with the drop to sprinting, while the filly Pandora’s Gift has looked very good indeed on the all-weather

2023: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LASTYEAR

Visor worn by No 1, 6. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 3. Stewards Note:

METABOLT: Following its run on 8/5/2024 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 English Oak (GB), 4-1 Zip (GB), 5-1 Metabolt (GB), 6-1 Baldomero (IRE), 8-1 Persuasion (IRE), 10-1 Sterling Knight (GB), 16-1 Abduction (FR)

ENGLISH OAK comes here easily the least exposed and following an encouraging comeback run when second at Newmarket 3 weeks ago, he could well be the wayto go with the prospect of more to come. Metabolt with a reappearance spin under his belt is a danger, as is Baldomero who deservedly got his head back in front at Goodwood earlier this month. Zip is another to factor in if granted his own way on the front end.

WESTERN STARS made a much better fist of things back down in grade when producing his best effort of the season so far when third at Newbury 8 days ago, and could just be worth siding with to build on that from what rates a workable mark. The returning Alshadhian on debut forAlan King and bottom-weight Corsican Caperare othersto consider Eyetrap is also worth keeping an eye on back from a break now his stamina is tested further
