WEDNESDAY 15 APRIL 2026
The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2026
WELCOME TO
Welcome to Haydock Park for our Wednesday 15th April Raceday.
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Haydock Park for this afternoon’s racing, and we are happy to be hosting a rescheduled fixture originally due to take place at Cheltenham.
Following the recent announcement regarding essential drainage improvements at Cheltenham Racecourse, we were delighted to be able to step in to accommodate today’s eight race card Working closely with the National Trainers Federation and the British Horseracing Authority, this collaborative effort ensures that today’s races are staged for their original prize money, providing valuable opportunities for connections and continuity within the racing programme.
Today’s card includes the addition of the Unibet Abram Mares’ Listed Novices’ Hurdle, enhancing what is already a competitive and high-quality afternoon of racing with the Grade 2 Unibet Silver Trophy being the highlight. We are grateful to the many owners and trainers who have continued to support these races despite the change of venue, and we look forward to seeing their horses in action here this afternoon.I would also like to extend our thanks to Unibet for their valued sponsorship of today’s fixture.
This meeting represents the final full Jump fixture at Haydock Park until the autumn, bringing the curtain down on another excellent season of National Hunt racing here at Haydock Park However, there is still plenty to look forward to, including our Flat Season Opener on Saturday 25th April, followed by Swinton Hurdle Day in May a popular and unique mixed fixture combining both Flat and Jump racing
I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to the entire Haydock Park team for their hard work and flexibility in planning and delivering today’s raceday at short notice, particularly at a time when many are also heavily involved in preparations and delivery of the Randox Grand National Festival
Thank you for joining us at Haydock Park I hope you enjoy an excellent afternoon of racing
Best of luck
Simon Tonge General Manager

Probable S.P’s:
It’s a little concerning MATTY’S GETAWAY hasn’t been seen since his Doncaster success in November but he readily accounted for a subsequent Grade 2 winner that day and appeals as the type to go on to better things. Le Beau Madrik is well worth another chance having created an excellent impression prior to disappointing up in grade at Kelso

The Bluesman, Outlaw Peter and Jour d’Evasion also need factoring into this cracking handicap

KILWAUGHTER has really got his act together over hurdles and promises to improve again now that his stamina is drawn out further, so he’s a straightforward choice to follow up his Newbury win. Smokeringinthedark should be suited by the return to 3m under speed-favouring conditions and is an interesting contender, with Lord Snootie taken to fill the places having stopped the slide at Bangor on his most recent outing.
