7:55 Haydock

Very interesting little race this and obviously a few of the runners are being backed, one such horse is CHESTER ARISTOCRAT who has all the makings of a possible handicap plot, but personally I think he needs further than a mile so despite the strong market support I wont be backing him. Furthermore if you take a literal approach to his last run then surely TAKE TWO is better value at 16/1. As for the rest of the runners the Varian horse obviously deserves considerable respect, but the yard hasnt really kicked into gear yet and I wouldn't want to be on him at 3/1. The Ryan horse has been uneasy in the market and that is always a bad sign with this particular connections and the Johnston horse is starting to look a bit exposed. For those reason the horse I will be backing e/w at a very nice price of 14/1 is WOLF SPIRIT. He won two races ago and looks like a horse who will like a bit of cut in the ground (despite a few negative points in his pedigree). He has been gelded since leaving the Ryan yard and although he was a reasonably cheap purchase, his new trainer usually gets plenty of improvement out of these types of horse.   I'm not going to get too carried away bet I will have 2.50pts e/w on my selection and hope for the best.
