Haydock Park 17:15 Odds Comparison

Well-bred New Bay gelding who had plausible excuses for both starts since chasing home a now useful sort on debut at Newcastle and is potentially very well treated on handicap/turf debut.

Shaped with promise on turf as a 2-y-o and is best not judged too harshly on a pair of all-weather runs last month. The addition of Oisin Murphy/first-time hood are both positives now tackling a longer trip and he's fallen to a potentially handy mark.

Raider from an in-form Irish stable who travelled as well as any when mid-field in a fairly useful Curragh maiden last season and having shaped better than the result both starts in handicaps this year, the reapplication of a hood could unlock a bigger performance.

Maiden whose best effort to date came here when fifth on nursery debut, but he failed to improve on the back of a gelding operation when well held on return at Southwell last time.

Went close second time up at Newcastle before disappointing on his qualifying run at Southwell (7f), though he's related to some smart types, and his opening mark looks a fair one ahead of this first try over 1m.

Shaped encouragingly when well-backed second in a Redcar nursery last November. Gelded over the winter and is probably best forgiven his comeback run when too keen over a longer trip at Doncaster (1¼m).

Confirmed himself on the up when landing a solid race for the grade at Wolverhampton in late-March and while upped in class, he's not fully exposed on his first handicap start on turf. Engaged 7.00 Kempton Wednesday.

Runner-up in a selling nursery at Newcastle in November and settled better when back to form at Southwell (7f) on her return, finishing fourth of 11 in a solid-looking handicap.

Improved on the back of a gelding operation when winning a 4-runner nursery at Newcastle in December but underlined concerns about his temperament (despite being backed at long odds) when down the field on return at Newmarket.

Shaped well when runner-up in a nursery on final juvenile start and too soon to dismiss following a couple of lesser efforts this season, racing freely when tried over a longer trip at Doncaster (1¼m) last time.

Tasleet gelding isn't bred to be much but did show improved form when fourth in a 1m Kempton novice on qualifying run. Has been pitched into a competitive race for his handicap/turf debut, though.

Lost her way for Stan Moore after winning a 7f maiden at Lingfield (good) this time last year and still looked to be finding her feet for new connections when mid-field in a fairly useful Newmarket handicap last time. Cheekpieces go back on.
