Saturday tips: in-form tipster Martin Dixon has five bets

1.15 Haydock: Fearnot 

Having only made his debut at Wolverhampton in March, Fearnot has rapidly risen through the ranks with impressive wins at Ascot in competitive handicaps, as well as an excellent third in the Britannia Stakes at the Royal meeting.
I still took encouragement from his mid-division finish at York last time out where he was drawn higher than any of those that finished ahead of him, and he finished with running left in him. 
He has a bit to find on official ratings with some of these, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't more to come, and I think the prospect of a strongly-run race from a handy, low draw could set the race up nicely for another personal best. He's chalked up at 8-1, at the time of writing.

2.25 Haydock: Winston Junior (each-way) 

This is a deeply-competitive handicap for young stayers, but odds of 12-1, at the time of writing, look too big about the chances of Winston Junior who, although still seeking his first win, has had a progressive three-year-old season. 
Jessica Harrington's gelding was a good second to the thriving Beylerbeyi at Chepstow last time in a race that is already proving to be strong form, and his previous second at the Curragh behind an Aidan O'Brien-trained hotpot has also worked out very well with the third, fourth and fifth all having won and improved their form subsequently. 
I expect this even longer distance to suit, and having Keithen Kennedy back on board claiming 5lb off should be an advantage, too. 

3.35 Haydock: Annaf (each-way) 

We all know that the top-end sprint division is wide open, underlined by the array of different winners in the Group One and Group Two 5f and 6f races this season, and I just think Annaf has been wrongly overlooked by the market at a best-priced 50-1, at the time of writing. 
At his very best, he was placed in the King's Stand Stakes in 2023, so it's not as if he hasn't got top-level sprint form in the book, and in the past two renewals of this race, he's shaped much better than the results suggest. 
In 2023, he travelled strongly and met all sorts of trouble, then last year he was drawn on the wrong side and nearly got knocked over twice through the race. I thought he ran a blinder in the Sky Bet City Of York two weeks ago, making up his ground on the bridle but not quite getting home, and with a bit more luck on his side this year, I think he's in the form to at least run a big race. 

3.45 Kempton: Leadenhall Street 

I have to start with an honourable mention for Intervention in this race who runs in our Horse Watchers colours because he's quite simply a legend, and I really hope he runs a huge race here, but he's never won off a mark as high as 88, and we'd be delighted if he got in the prize money. 
When I was previewing the race for our owners, I mentioned to them that I believed early odds of 9-1 about Leadenhall Street were some way wide of the mark about a three-year-old who's building up a very positive all-weather record. Returning to Kempton, I think he can produce another career-best performance having not quite lasted home over the stiffer 6f track at Newcastle last time out.
James Fanshawe's stable are on full throttle now, underlined by a double at this track on Wednesday, and from stall five, I expect Leadenhall Street to get the perfect trip through the race under Rossa Ryan. 

4.50 Kempton: Kind Of Kiss 

Since arriving from France, Kind of Kiss has run some fine races in very competitive handicaps, including when second over this C&D on his most recent start in July, when both Siempre Arturo and Assail (both re-oppose) were a few lengths behind him. 
Generally held up, he wants a good pace to aim at, and that looks on the cards with the likes of Odin Legacy and Candyman Star in the field, so hopefully the cards will drop right this time as I'm sure he's a well-handicapped performer with more potential over this mile-and-a-half trip.
