Haydock 3.15

 

At the head of the market here we have Ornisdale for Jonjo who has a favourites chance but in these conditions I don't think is great value. Venetia introduces one on a seasonal debut in The Crooner who could frankly be anything and will most likely attract plenty of market support. Keep Wondering is also well fancied in the market and showed some promise last time but having looked at that race, I think may still need a run especially as stamina and fitness is going to be key here. Wouldubewell was impressive last time and Emma Lavelle will be keen to see just how far this horse can go, it's a big danger but the price doesn't attract me to lump anything on.

 

Saint Xavier has won in French mud but is upped in trip, it'll be interesting to see how it runs here. Tanarpino is dropped in trip and a decent each way chance on that basis but best of it's form and performances have been on better Going than heavy and for that reason it misses the final picks today but one to keep a very close eye on for the next few runs. Town Parks for Kerry Lee has won of soft, but the Yard has been very quiet. Part of that may be down to unseasonably goog ground but I want to see some signs of the horses being ready as I suspect most will need a run and may be a gallop short, certainly though her horses are worth following if the heavier ground becomes the norm in January / February.

 

The 2 who interest me the most are UP HELLY Aa KING - another who drops back in trip, some good form on Heavy and no excuses at all for not putting up a very bold bid for the Alexander yard who are in decent form at the moment. At bigger Odds and I think very much overlooked by the market is INFORMATEUR. Like many of Sue Smiths they usually need a run or two, this one has had 2 poor runs at face value but won third time out last season, its won off similar marks and is actually eased in Grade here, I'll be frankly disappointed if it doesn't place at least.
