Most of the continent is living the
Euro Nightmare but I do not expect them to get relief in the Haydock 2:50. The favourite
God Given, with Frank aboard, looks opposable having only ever won on turf when it was soft, so the vote goes to
CRIBBS CAUSEWAY, Roger Charlton’s filly having had a pipe-opener over further at York in a Group 3.
I can see there being something of a consensus on here today for
JUDICIAL in the Haydock 3:25. From a win point of view
Muthmir has become disappointing in the last couple of years and Julie Camacho’s gelding comes here off a career-best effort in a Group 3 with three of today’s rivals behind.
Reading the Fahey column, there is every reason to think that
Knowing Glance will take advantage of bottom weight in the last but the bookies have factored that into the price.
Although Ryan Moore is booked, I cannot be having Fahey’s
Eastern Impact over at Newmarket in the 2:35: the seven year old has not won for over two years.
GUNMETAL is in last chance saloon with me having failed twice after winning here last year; and it would be a career high winning mark for his new yard.
In the 3:05, I am sticking with
YAFTA despite the extra seven pounds for his easy win last time and the extra furlong. Thankfully Crowley is at Haydock so Dane O'Neill keeps the ride. O'Neill has a couple of other good chances in the Hamdan silks on this card.
Visitors to Beverley today are certainly getting their money's worth with eight races including two trappy juvenile sprints.
Bollin Ted looks the standout bet in the 4:25 but those Yorkshire bookies are not going to be generous with the odds. Watch every favourite but that one win!
No word for the Midgley trio (yet) in the Scottish Sprint Cup (Musselburgh 2:30) and I like
El Astronaute, despite him having to give weight to virtually the whole field; otherwise some disappointing and/or trappy fields north of the border.
Good luck to anyone following
Squire today but I do not see him winning (But what do I know? Not a lot!).
. Good lord!
