Haydock 2.55

Draw here can favour high numbers when it is soft, Youkan likes the Course and likes if soft but I'm not totally convinced 6 furlongs is ideal, should run a big race and a massive danger to the selection and would not put you off a smaller e/w saver bet. 
 
My selection though is the enigmatic ICE LORD. Form reads last and last in 2 runs after break, but Autumn form is usually time to catch the horse and should be fully tuned up now off a nice mark. I feel sure a big run is imminent and will track and follow after today drawn in stall 16 could be an advantage and a horse that can just pick up the bit and take off and finish very fast in optimum conditions like today.
