Promising sort who overcame a tardy start and didn't need to replicate his previous best when opening his account at the third attempt in 6-runner novice at Nottingham (5f, good, 1/4) 34 days ago. Had a next-time-out winner behind him then and he's of serious interest on nursery bow.

Clear Force50
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR:  88| D
Built on debut promise to readily land the odds in 5-runner novice at Ripon (5f, good to firm) in April. Managed respectable efforts in listed/Group company since and this switch to handicaps can likely see him in a better light.

Under The Radar20
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR:  77| D
Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Thirsk maiden (5f) in May. Not disgraced under a penalty at York next time but keen and not in same form either start since, weakening 1f out when ninth in Super Sprint at Newbury (5.1f) 3 weeks ago. This more suitable.

Forecasts

Silent Applause (4/5), Clear Force (6/4), Under The Radar (8/1)

17:40 Haydock - 8 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SILENT APPLAUSE looked firmly at home dropped back to the minimum trip when seeing off a next-time-out winner with something to spare at Nottingham 5 weeks ago and Charlie Appleby's promising son of Acclamation is fancied to prove a tough nut to crack now his attentions switch to handicaps. Clear Force will find this less exacting company liberating and can provide the chief threat.
