Could Haydock’s Big Handicap Be Won from Off the Pace?

  • This will be only his fourth outing in a handicap, offering potential for more improvement
  • He has already won at Haydock over the same trip, proving he handles both the course and conditions

Reasoning
My Dream World arrives on the back of a strong performance at York where he was demoted but showed clear staying potential. A proven winner over course and distance, he’s lightly raced, improving, and should get a solid pace to suit. He’s well treated and expected to run a big race again.

The going is officially good to firm, though overnight showers could ease the surface slightly by race time. That uncertainty will affect several runners, particularly those whose past form suggests a strong preference either for fast or softer underfoot conditions. Sir Lowry’s Pass, for example, is a notable contender but has been declared with ground concerns voiced by connections, who hinted he might not run should it remain too firm. If the ground stays on the quicker side, he may well be a non-runner.

City Of Delight, a dual winner this year, is another stepping into unknown territory with today’s step up in distance, while Sol Cayo may attempt to dominate from the front after an easy Pontefract success in a slowly run race. Paddy The Squire will be trying 1m4f again after finishing well over shorter last time, while Chillingham lines up off a 4lb higher mark after being awarded the Queen Mother’s Cup at York. Each brings something different to the table, but few arrive with the profile of a horse still open to significant progress.

Among the more interesting runners is My Dream World, who lines up having been first past the post in that same York race before losing the result in the stewards’ room. With just a handful of handicap runs to his name, he’s still learning, but there is enough in his profile to suggest he’s ready to take a step forward.

Best Bet: My Dream World – 3:15 Haydock

At BettingTips4You, we pride ourselves on cutting through the noise and delivering a single, high-confidence selection per event. We don’t flood our readers with guesses—we identify one clear standout. Today, our Best Bet of the Day for Haydock is My Dream World in the Old Newton Cup.

While the disqualification at York was undoubtedly frustrating, it did little to diminish the merit of the performance itself. Travelling well in a big field, My Dream World settled into a strong rhythm before finishing with intent to hit the line in front. That race was over a similar distance and on a quick surface, precisely the combination he’s shown his best under. The 5lb rise in the weights feels justified by that display, particularly considering the authority with which he put the race to bed before the stewards intervened.

Importantly, he has already won over course and distance, which counts for plenty at a track where rhythm and positioning are critical. Trainer B F Brookhouse has suggested the colt didn’t have a hard race at York and arrives here fresh, while jockey Jason Hart retains the ride and knows what’s required.

This is just his fourth start in a handicap, and with fewer miles on the clock than many of these rivals, he appeals as a horse with more to come. If the race is run at a true pace, as seems likely given the presence of natural front-runners like Sol Cayo, My Dream World could be ideally positioned to pounce from mid-division and see it out better than those already fully exposed.
