Architect Tips picks out two selections from the ITV races on Saturday.
14:25 Haydock
SHUWARI (best price 10/3) has only been seen once since October 2023, but ran well when sixth in a Listed event on her return from a long absence and should have come on plenty for the run..
Her defeat of Fallen Angel reads well, as the latter won a Group 1 in France last weekend and it is the best form on offer, even if it was a long time ago.
She won’t even need to be at her best to beat these in my opinion, so she earns the vote in the opener with Jamie Spencer booked to ride.
15:00 Haydock
DETAIN (best price 7/2) was well-held in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot, but wasn’t his true running and his previous third in the French Derby when just denied in a three-way finish is class form when comparing to this lower level contest.
John and Thady Gosden have done so well in getting horses back on form next time out following a below-par run, and given this youngster's massive age-for-weight allowance is factored into his credentials, he’s a major player on these terms.
