The Follow @Racingtv On X Haydock Park Training Series Apprentice Handicap Stakes (Part Of The Racing Excellence Series) is off at 17:55 on 18 July 2026 at Nottingham (Great Britain).
1m½f, Class 5, Flat, 6 runners declared.
Going is reported as Good To Firm on Turf.
Popeye Doyle is our selection at Nottingham, preferred to the top-rated No Knee Never on a progressive profile over today's 8f on good to firm. The form in this Class 5 six-runner race is tightly bunched, and No Knee Never, Tees George and Perfidia all loom as the chief dangers to keep him honest. It's a competitive renewal with confidence in the selection only medium, but Popeye Doyle's overall profile gets the vote.
Racing Post pick: Popeye Doyle
