5:25 Haydock Tips

Whilst I wouldn't want to stake a huge amount of Brazilian Belle she does have enough in the book to suggest this is a very good opportunity for her. She ran well at Musselburgh on Monday and a repeat of that should see her home in front this time.

Winner over course and distance in July. In and out since but ran well when 2nd off this mark at Chester last time and something similar should put her firmly in the mix once again this afternoon.

Solid turf form with a number of placed efforts off higher marks. Can put a line through his all-weather run last time out. Better record on turf. Can have a solid each-way chance here.

Our Absent Friends has an impressive record with wins from Class 3 down to Class 6 with majority at today's level. He also has his ideal conditions with distance, going and stall number very much to his liking. Rossa Ryan is a very good booking and has one win from two rides. Stable in good form with a win and a 2nd from five runs.

Thunder Star is in stall 7 and runs off 74, which looks fair given her solid profile. She ran 7th 31 days ago at Yarmouth, needing the run and should improve back over 5 now. Proven at this course and distance, acts on sound and giving ground, also wearing cheekpieces for extra focus. Lewis Edmunds trains with Jessica Macey riding. Each way chance with the draw and trip to suit and should run well.

Gelded son of Outstrip & Bacall ( Dam's sire Paco Boy ) who's form of late on paper may be slightly off putting however looks can be deceiving and a much deeper analysis of this individual tells a whole different story was last seen at Nottingham 15 days ago where finishing 9th/14 however he was denied racing room at the start of the race where he was in the crucial process of trying to settle and was completely denied that being left not ideally placed through that entire race and leaving him unable to make a serious impact that was just his second outing after a 121 day break and that has at the very least helped him reach top fitness currently operating on rapidly easing mark of 63 Tim Easterby's inmate looks poised to bounce and showcase a much better piece of form with this drop back down in trip in a race of this nature likely to play extremely well into his strengths here worth noting he is now operating 3lb below his last winning mark jockey Sean Kirrane takes the ride and can give Act Of Violence a promising ride here at Haydock
