AFTER the high group one events of last week at Epsom and Chantilly, this afternoon’s action seems rather tame and yet there are some interesting graded and handicap events well worth having a deeper look at mainly centred around Haydock Park.
The Group Three John Of Gaunt Stakes (3.35) has attracted an unusually big field and I suspect that the layers will be offering something in the way of 7/2 the field probably led by Witch Hunter, who arguably ran a career best at the age of five when a late-running third behind Audience in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.
He will certainly get the end to end gallop he needs to show his best form here and quite rightly has to be respected.
