Ladbrokes ambassador Sean Levey gives you the inside track on his three rides at Haydock on Saturday, August 8, 2026 in his latest blog.

Christian David - Haydock - 3.34 race odds
Crafty Blue - Haydock - 4.09 race odds
Lost Signal - Haydock - 4.40 race odds
Christian David ran a big race at Doncaster before backing it up with another solid effort at Ascot, where he likely didn’t quite see out the trip on a stiff track. Seven furlongs around Haydock should suit him perfectly, and a bit of cut in the ground would only help his chances. He looks in good form and should run well.
Crafty Blue won nicely last time at Leicester and in this race, I think she has a massive chance, especially if stepping up to seven furlongs helps her find a little bit of improvement.
Lost Signal is a smart horse who ran a huge race at Newmarket when second to another talented type, Talk Of New York. He hasn’t been seen since his trip to Germany, where he didn’t handle Cologne’s tight track - especially as he is such a big horse. The form of that race has worked out really well, and the break appears to have done him good. Hopefully he won’t need the run too much, and I expect him to go close.
