Check out some of the best sports betting<\/strong><\/a> picks for Haydock and Kempton this Saturday – and head to NetBet Sport<\/strong><\/a> for all the latest horse racing odds<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

Written by Jake Wilkes<\/strong><\/p>\n

*All odds are subject to change<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:25 \u2013 Haydock \u2013 Dancing Gemini \u2013 WIN (3\/1)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dropping back to a mile is probably the right move for Dancing Gemini, who hasn\u2019t been seen to best effect in recent outings over 10 furlongs.<\/p>\n

It is also a significant drop in grade and a much easier race than the ones he has been contesting in the previous year, namely the Group 1 Prince Of Wales\u2019s Stakes, Lockinge Stakes at Royal Ascot and Newbury respectively.<\/p>\n

Back in March 2025, he dropped into listed company from Group 1 level and won easily – and I am hoping for a similar class drop to have a positive effect.<\/p>\n

14:50 \u2013 Kempton \u2013 Gethin \u2013 WIN (27\/20)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over at Kempton, the eye will no doubt be drawn to Constitution Hill, who makes his third start on the flat in a competitive Group 3 contest.<\/p>\n

However, the two-time Champion Hurdle winner is up against it and has at least a stone to find to match listed winner Gethin, who will no doubt be competitive as he steps back up to a mile-and-a-half.<\/p>\n

He needs to respond from a disappointing performance in the Group 1 Coral Eclipse, but this race is a lot easier – and he will take a bit of beating if running to form.<\/p>\n

15:05 \u2013 Haydock \u2013 Stressfree \u2013 EACHWAY (7\/1)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

David O\u2019Meara\u2019s Stressfree has dropped to his last winning mark of 97 and can be very competitive in a good renewal of the Old Borough Cup.<\/p>\n

Being dropped 2lbs from his latest effort is generous by the handicapper, as finishing sixth in the Ebor is a fantastic effort. If he can handle the two week turnaround, then he has a live chance here.<\/p>\n

He handles slow ground and is shaping like a return to his best is on the horizon.<\/p>\n

15:40 \u2013 Haydock \u2013 Kind Of Blue \u2013 WIN (4\/1)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kind Of Blue\u2019s best performance of his career came on soft ground at Ascot last year and he may bounce back to his best on a slower surface.<\/p>\n

He was second in this race for the past two seasons, but this event seems slightly easier this time around – and I am confident he can go one better.<\/p>\n

Finding a horse that can handle these conditions is the most important factor, as we are a long way away from the rattling fast ground we had earlier in the season.<\/p>\n

The only slight concern is he can be a little inconsistent, outlined by poor performances at Newcastle and when last seen at Royal Ascot. But the race set-up is perfect for his third spin.<\/p>\n
