The horse racing broadcaster picks out his alternatives from across the UK on Saturday, together with one within the Listed Achilles Stakes at Haydock.
There’s all the time a way of deja vu with the back-to-back Haydock weekends, which all the time appear fairly comparable playing cards. This weekend options fairly a northern bias, as nicely, with Haydock, Chester and York offering the motion on ITV.
The Listed Achilles Stakes instructions the eye of the sprinters, and will probably be no shock if one of many quickest horses in coaching – DEMOCRACY DILEMMA / (14:23 Haydock) – provides a daring sight, particularly as he’s drawn excessive and will make his method over in direction of the stands rail. He regarded in want of the race on his reappearance within the Palace Home, the place he additionally confronted numerous competitors for the lead, which set it up for the closers. She’s High quality was one other to be near the velocity that day and franked the shape when a close-up second within the Temple on the monitor final week.
The rain that fell on Thursday will hopefully make situations appropriate for ESTRANGE / (14:58 Haydock) within the Lester Piggott Stakes. David O’Meara’s placing gray filly got here fairly a good distance in a brief house of time final season, not making her debut till working instantly from a subject of maidens at Goodwood in late August and ending up simply two runs later being rated 100 after successful a Listed race at Doncaster. She formed as if 12f would go well with that day as she noticed the race out very well and will make up right into a helpful filly this yr.
Gelding appeared to get the profession of ALYANAABI / (15:33 Haydock) again on monitor in a powerful renewal of the Spring Trophy over course and distance earlier this month. He beat final yr’s winner of this race, Tiber Circulation, that day and is nicely drawn in stall 1 to both lead or monitor the tempo. It’s price remembering he chased house Metropolis of Troy within the Dewhurst as a juvenile and, after a quiet season final marketing campaign, he could make up for misplaced time now his thoughts is completely targeted on racing.
Away from Haydock, MYAL / (14:10 Chester) is price one other likelihood after being near a stable tempo at Ascot final time when drawn on the wing. He has not had a lot luck with the boundaries as he’s once more drawn large and must be used early to get a place. Pace into stride is one in all his strengths, nonetheless, and if he can recover from he may very well be tough to go. If something, the tempo is definitely exterior somewhat than inside so it may very well be an fascinating first couple of furlongs.
At York, JM JUNGLE / (14:40 York) ran into an upwardly cell sprinter in American Affair on the monitor final month and may give weight away all spherical right here. The yard of John and Sean Quinn are 5/35 in Might (A/E ratio 1.19) and he’s an uncomplicated journey who could make or sit near the tempo.
Lastly, HAZY COSMIC JANE / (EW 19:10 Lingfield), who I seen received fairly a stable hit out on her debut and anticipated a drop in grade right into a Restricted. That hasn’t occurred, however her expertise may see her bag the favoured stands rail. With the debutants from larger stables prone to take an enormous share of the market, she appears overpriced from an each-way perspective if all 5 stand their floor.
