3:40 Haydock Tips

This Kodi Bear gelding highlighted his experience effortlessly, clinching victory in a 6-runner novice at Ripon 14 days ago, running the rail and establishing a clear lead. I expect he will remain competitive as he transitions to nurseries.

Blue To Blue had a cracking debut when winning a C3 but had all sorts of problems last time out. He seems on a decent mark for this handicap debut, with the step up to 6f likely to suit.

Mister Moet has been improving since a hard fall in its debut. It broke its maiden in the last start (3rd race) on Monday in a higher category. Today it is its handicap debut, and greater improvement is expected.

Born Slippy is a 2yo colt trained by Richard Spencer. He makes his nursery debut after three promising runs. On his penultimate start, he was hotly beaten by 2 lengths, finishing 2/8 and keeping on well in the closing stages over 5f at Chepstow. So today's step up to 6f could see him in a better place. He is a half-brother to four winners and out of a dam called Rose Blossom, who was very talented. She had 5 wins out of 21 starts with an RPR of 109 and was a three-time winner over today's 6f. She won a listed race at Doncaster and a Group 3 at York over 6f and placed a further four times in Listed races and placed in another Group 3. She thrived around this time of year, winning three races in July (2) and August. Born Slippy has three runs under his belt now and can capitalize on any subpar performance from today's favorite, Front Line Fury, who looks like the one to beat.
