A busy Saturday with excellent racing in particular from Haydock and Ascot. Here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Haydock
J: D R Fox
T: Miss Lucinda V Russell
Derryhassen Paddy is unbeaten in 4 career starts to date, he won on point-to-point debut and then in a bumper race at Ayr last season. Connections wasted no time in sending him novice hurdling and after a good debut win at Uttoxeter he then went for a better race at Windsor. Derryhassen Paddy was all out that day to win by a nose but had some very smart rivals in behind him. The 3m distance seemed to have suited him well at Windsor and there looks like there will be plenty more to come from him at this trip. He looks a horse that will be better suited to today's more galloping track and can make it win number 5. Derryhassen Paddy rates a 4 star win Pick.
