16:15 Haydock

GYTO Notebook Double for Sunday 4th August

Haydock 4.15 Educating Rita (10/3)

The hat-trick may well be on the cards for the progressive EDUCATING RITA at Haydock on Sunday. This Belardo filly made a winning handicap debut at Hamilton last month and impressed with how she was going away at the finish. That was her first start over this trip so expect plenty more improvement yet and I think she can follow up despite a further 7lb rise. Connor Beasley is back in the saddle and this filly looks the one to beat.

Airspeed was off the mark at Hamilton last month and has more to come now handicapping so could be the danger. Qaseem has knocked on the door the last twice and is another one in with a chance if improving again.

16:35 Chester

Chester 4.35 Never So Brave (2/1)

After winning at Thirsk and at this track it was no surprise to see NEVER SO BRAVE pitched in at the deep end at Royal Ascot last time. He ran a cracker to finish sixth behind Haatem and back in calmer waters here is definitely the most likely winner. He is still unexposed and given he is unbeaten at this track (1/1) it should be another positive returning here. He is armed with a decent draw too so should get to the front with a bit of luck.

Paws For Thought is another horse who loves it here and he proved that winning here over the minimum trip last week. Back up in distance he could be the danger despite a 6lb rise. Telemark needs to bounce back but is definitely another one in with a squeak.
