CODESHARE (NAP) (best price 11-8) has really impressed on his last two starts for a variety of reasons and he can complete a hat trick at a track that he clearly loves. A ready three-length winner over the C&D two starts ago, Alan Swinbank’s inmate showed another facet to his make-up with a battling display here two weeks later, fending off a series of persistent challenges after hitting the front probably a little sooner than ideal. A smooth traveller with a nice turn of foot, the son of Dansili has a lovely inside draw in order to save ground and get plenty of cover on the rail and in a race where there looks to be plenty of pace, he should have the cards falling in his favour once again.
3.10 Haydock
In-keeping with many from her stable, BUTTERCUP (best price 2-1) seems to really appreciate testing conditions and following her recent Warwick success when she simply bounded away from her field, Venetia Williams’ inmate is fancied to complete a hat trick while everything is in her favour. Too strong for the well-handicapped Yanmare the time before at Towcester, the daughter of Limnos was even more impressive at the Midland track 10 days ago and given how strong she was in the latter stages of that well-run affair, only a brave man would bet against her while she continues to thrive.

WICK POWELL (best price 2-1) has reacted favourably to his new front-running role and on the evidence of his latest outing when scampered away from his rivals over today’s C&D last time out, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be capable of following up if adopting similar tactics 12 days on. A smart two-year-old last season, David Barron’s charge was actually unlucky not to win more races than he did as on several occasions he failed to get the rub of the green, but he did come good when it mattered most in the valuable juvenile prize at Redcar on his final start. Making it from pillar-to-post that day, the son of Sakhee’s Secret held on bravely in the closing stages from a posse of closers and while front runners have a pretty dismal record over today’s course as a rule, he seems just the type to keep bucking the trend.
