Preference is for POLE STAR, who has run to a fairly useful level on both outings this month and with further progress on the cards, Charlie Johnston’s colt could well prove a tough nut to crack with Buick taking over in the plate His main threat may emerge from Valiancy, who looked badly in need of the experience but showed clear signs of ability on debut at Newbury a fortnight ago Earnest Belief and Simply Ruby can fight out third.

CHILLYBREEZE: Following its run on 21/4/2025 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed under pressure. PIETRO: Following its run on 5/5/2025 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed late-on.

Archie Watson’s L’KARAMA has found only one too good on each of his 2 starts in all-weather maidens since returning to action this spring and, appealing as the type who could yet have more to offer now handicapping, he earns the vote on turf debut operating from a handy draw This looks a deep race by class 5 standards though, with Pietro, Jarham and Sunlit Uplands just a trio of potential threats. Think OfA Name is another holding claims if seeing out the longer trip
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.

Despite displaying clear signs of greenness, PARTICIPATE produced a highly promising debut effort when just touched off by a subsequent listed scorer at Salisbury last summer and, looking a sure-fire improver, Ralph Beckett’s filly is fancied to go one place better on return. Mister Winston has plenty about him physically and is a chief danger following his excellent second in a maiden at Chester’s May Meeting. Influential and Fan Club are others fancied to feature.

BEST ADVENTURE benefitted as expected from the step up in trip when off the mark at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with the runner-up, and looks capable of defying a 7lb rise. Atlantic Sunset shaped with plenty of promise switched to turf when runner-up on his handicap bow at Thirsk 2 weeks ago and rates a big threat along with Crackergee, who was only just edged out by a subsequent winner on his handicap bow at Kempton on return.

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.

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
