Horse racing at Haydock, Newmarket and Stratford

The following British horse racecourses have events open for Friday, May 25th.

Best odds for those horse races are guaranteed at the British online bookmaker Bet365.

Haydock Racecourse: First race begins at 2.10 at the Haydock.
The overview of the 2.10 race: Little Big Boy can make a winning debut here at the main expense of She's Our Dream. Richard Hannon's son of Danetime has already been gelded but was given a favourable mention after Hannon's first juvenile winner (Fat Boy) in April. The stable are flying at present and he can score over this trip, as his dam did. She's Our Dream is entitled to come on for her debut, the form of which has worked out well. Structura has shown plenty of promise in two runs to date in better races than this one and he must go close if putting his experience to good use, whilst at a decent price newcomer El Tato should be watched for market support. Little Big Boy can land this opener.

Newmarket Racecourse: Horse racing begins at 2.20 and last one starts at 5.15.
Overview of the first horse race: The short-listed three in the opener are Dresden Doll, Liberty Belle and Pixie's Blue, with the selection being Liberty Belle. You can build a case for just about all of these runners and the betting might prove helpful to you. Aberavon is related to some fair winners, including Nota Bene; Danamight cost 54,000 euros; Dea Caelestis hails from Henry Cecil's in-form yard and has likeable breeding; Dresden Doll is a half-sister to, among others, Crimplene; Geestring hails from Richard Hannon's powerful stable; Liberty Belle finished fifth in a fair Listed race on her racecourse debut, so she must be held in some regard; John Dunlop runs Night Skier; Pixie's Blue improved on a fair debut run to be just touched off over course and distance last time; Relinquished is well-related and hails from the yard of Jeremy Noseda. See what we mean? Watch the market but the vote goes to Liberty Belle.

Stratford Racecourse: First horse race starts at 6.15 and last one at 8.45
Stratford 6.15 race overview: Former pointer and hunter chaser Rye Brook looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open his account by trainer Paul Nicholls and is taken to do so at the main expense of Pan The Man and Grouse Moor. The last mentioned comes into this on the back of wins at Plumpton and Huntingdon on his last two starts and has to be respected but has a 7lb penalty to carry that may just anchor him today. Karoo has been knocking on the door of late and may need some help from the handicapper, while Huckster is hard to recommend on recent evidence. Magical Harry has been running consistently well but remains a maiden and may be best watched with a bigger threat looking to come from recent dual Plumpton winner Pan The Man. He also has a penalty to carry for his latest success though and preference is for Rye Brook, who is taken to open his account under rules.

Other racecourses open on Friday are: Portman Park (first at 11.52), Sprint Valley (10.32), Tipperary (5.25), Wexford (5.10) and Goodwood (2.00).
