Megan Nicholls Racing Preview: Haydock Tips
SATURDAY RACING TIPS
Haydock 1.15 – Superior Mile Stakes
I like the look of Suite Francaise (7/1) in this.
This is a nice filly and she gets weight off the colts which will only help her chance.
She was impressive last time over course and distance and I reckon she’ll be hard to pass.
She’s improving all the time and you’d like to think there is still more to come.
Megan’s Tip: Suite Francaise WIN
Haydock 1.50 – Ascendant Stakes
There’s obviously been plenty said about Publish (6/5) and he was well-fancied for the Solario last weekend at Sandown before he was taken out due to the ground.
He gets the conditions he wants here and William Buick is a more than able deputy for Colin Keane, who is down at Kempton to ride Kalpana.
Publish looks a really promising colt and he probably should be unbeaten.
He impressed last time and the way connections have talked about him suggests he’ll be seen in much better company than this later down the line.
Megan’s Tip: Publish WIN
Haydock 2.25 – 1m6f Handicap
Circus Of Rome (4/1) is a horse I really took to when he won at Newcastle last time.
That form is working out well and he looks a three-year-old that is only going to improve as he gets older.
The step up in trip shouldn’t be an issue as he stays really well and I have a feeling this is a pretty talented horse.
I expect him to take a lot of beating.
Megan’s Tip: Circus Of Rome WIN
Haydock 3.00 – Old Borough Cup
Caballo De Mar (11/2) is a horse I’ve stuck with for most of the season and I’m keeping the faith in the Old Borough Cup.
He’s a strong stayer and has turned into a really consistent performer.
He’s a very likeable type and it’s over a year since he finished outside of the first two – he can go close again here.
Megan’s Tip: Caballo De Mar WIN
Haydock 3.35 – Sprint Cup
I’m looking forward to seeing Lazzat (2/1 fav) back in action again.
He was superb at the Royal Meeting and he was far from disgraced when second in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last time.
A return to a sharp six should suit him and providing he can settle a touch better than he did the last day, he should take an awful lot of beating.
Megan’s Tip: Lazzat WIN
