Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Gone By gets the nod in this Haydock staying test, and our rating of 89 leaves him just a pound behind Yaa Min, so there is little between them on figures. We prefer him because his profile is progressive and the clock backs up his form, which is a sound pairing on heavy ground over fourteen furlongs. Yaa Min is the obvious danger at the top of the ratings, while Loki on the same figure as our pick and High Storm, a few pounds back, complete the group most likely to pose a threat. Gone By looks the right one to side with.
Runners
Hector Crouch
Ralph Beckett 6/44
Gone By arrives with two wins in her last five starts, a winner two starts back and again three starts back, with a second four and five starts back, so her form is consistent bar an eighth last time out. A 76-day break is the one question, but our figures at 89 back her as a selection on overall profile.

Toby Moore (7)
Hayley Burton 0/2
Yaa Min won last time out just 20 days ago and has run over today's trip and going, so he arrives fresh and in form, with our rating of 90 putting him top of this field of six. The risk is a 136 lb burden against an official mark of 84, and a ninth two starts back shows he can falter.

Charlie Maggs (3)
Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 0/15
Loki has finished first, second, second and second in the four runs before an unplaced latest effort, so he looks a strong threat, and his 89 rating ranks him second of six. The risk is that last-time-out flop after 34 days off, with 132 lb to carry.

Billy Loughnane
K. R. Burke 4/37
High Storm arrives a last-time-out winner, with a second win four starts back among two victories in his last five starts, and he looks a leading threat. The one concern is a 41-day absence, though he carries 132 lb off an official mark of 86.

Clifford Lee
K. R. Burke 4/37
Urchin was beaten into seventh last time out, which is hard to overlook, though he was a second two starts back and a winner three starts back, so the ability is there. Ranked fifth of six on our figures and carrying 129 lb, he's tough to fancy, even after a fairly fresh 24 days off.

Darragh Keenan
George Scott 3/13
Phantom Recon is yet to win in his last three starts, finishing fourth each time, and a 50-day break doesn't help his case. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 80 still ranks him last of six, so he's hard to fancy.
