>>> Tuchel's England Squad: Every Choice Stands Up to Scrutiny
com have released their top selections for Saturday's horse racing action at Goodwood, Haydock, and York on May 23, 2026.
Linfoot's Selections
Linfoot's primary backing is Five Ways in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes over six furlongs at Haydock.
He expects the Andrew Balding-trained colt to improve significantly on his second seasonal start.
Five Ways faced a tough draw in the Palace House behind Night Raider but ran well to finish within six lengths under jockey Jason Watson.
For the William Hill Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock, Linfoot highlights Astrazar as a strong value option at double-figure prices after an unlucky return run at Newbury.
The Ed Walker-trained horse suffered from no room along the stands' rail but traveled well, indicating potential improvement from his current rating of 85.
At Goodwood, Linfoot selects Golden Story for the Listed Cocked Hat Stakes, noting the horse finished third in the Dee Stakes at Chester and receives three pounds from the favorite, Saxon Street.
Linfoot also recommends a small each-way bet on Richie's Rocket in the opening Fitzdares Harroways Handicap at Goodwood, following a gelding operation that trainer Ralph Beckett hopes will change the dial.
