The recent and forecasted weather seems more suited to frog-racing or some other species of amphibian. Nevertheless, in the belief that racing at Ascot and Haydock will go ahead, here are my selections:
1220 Haydock: Balder Success
1250 Haydock: Ile de Re
210 Ascot: Finian's Rainbow
230 Haydock: Katkeau
245 Ascot: Oscar Whisky
305 Haydock: Silvanico Conti
320 Ascot: Pepite Rose
