Friday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Azygous in the 1840 at Haydock Park (all times BST).

Racing comes from Lingfield Park, Worcester, Sedgefield, Newmarket and Haydock Park.

Rain has changed the going at all five tracks but the most effected is Lingfield which had 7mm.

The going is now good to soft but that should not hinder 1410 contender Wake Up Maggie, who looked very impressive on her debut at Sandown.

National hunt racing at Worcester looks very competitive although Silence Reigns could still be a force to reckoned with in the claiming hurdle at 1450.

Following 1.5mm the ground is good to firm.

There is also jumping action at Sedgefield, where they also have good to firm ground following 2mm of rain.

Sandabar would be a popular winner of the seller at 1530 because he is the first runner for trainer Tracy Waggott.

There are 88 horses competing in Haydock's six-race programme and the ground is good to firm following 3mm of rain.

The season's leading jockey Robert Winston has five rides and should be on the mark with CD Flyer in the 1910.

Best bet of the day is Azygous in the 1840. Rod Millman's gelding won his first two starts impressively but was exposed in the Wetherby's Super Sprint at Newbury.

While this is a competitive race it is a lower grade than the Newbury race and he should win.

Newmarket is a total sell out largely due to the fact that Status Quo play after racing.

The ground is good with good to firm places after 2.5mm of rain and Front Stage in the 1925 looks a stand out selection
