3:40 Haydock Tips

I can't believe they gelded Lake Forest, but I'm sure they know more about it than I do. I respect this horse a lot, and he should be ready after having a racecourse gallop at Newmarket the other day.

Won over C&D on reappearance last season and has had the benefit of a pipe opener in Ireland in the Listed Gladness stakes and though was well fancied there but only managed fourth still ran well for a long way. The quicker ground here will help him last home a bit better and though had to improve to beat a tip top Lake Forest had that fitness edge for inform yard. Has Group 1 entries himself and I'm hoping this has been the target to show those aspirations given course we know will suit. Has to go very close.

Myal looks primed for another big Haydock run: perfectly drawn, perfectly positioned, and already proven against today's rivals. With a strong pace forecast to suit his stalking style, he should be finishing best of all.

Poet Master did well in Sept/Oct, twice finishing second in a G3 and then a G2. On the return last month, he only just lost out to Myal when second by half a length and drops 1 lb, so has a chance to swap places today.

Audience has not been great this year, with all but one of his runs being in Meyday at the back of the pack. But the first of those runs was not bad, when third in a G2, and he could find today's listed company a tad easier to deal with. EW

Will have to improve for sure on previous runs, but not without a good chance here. Won a couple of handicaps last season and returned in listed company last March, finishing 4th.

Release The Storm is unbeaten and could well be in the mix. He's proven fresh and draws perfectly in stall 1. Big class rise, but his profile is flawless, with scope to keep climbing rapidly.

So its a punt at the price but this is Heathcliffs only run on turf and seems thrown in to me. I tipped Heathcliff lto where he was nosed to cool hoof luke who is a certified listed horse, the form has to read well here with this price of 50/1. Its a punt but im hoping he can continue this form heading on to turf
