'A bog wouldn't be too soft' - Three heavy ground horses at Haydock on Wednesday
8 hours ago
Not the strongest handicap in prospect, but preference is for FOXY BOY who finished a respectable second at Hamilton last month and although he is yet to replicate that level of form in three starts since this looks a winnable race for him. He is now a stone below his last winning handicap mark, and with Danny Tudhope booked to ride a big run is clearly anticipated. The dangers are headed by Compton River, who is not a frequent winner, but is now on a potentially lenient handicap mark and has run well enough in his two starts this season to suggest he can be competitive in this company.
