Haydock Park Race 2 - Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
POLE STAR (6) showed plenty of promise two weeks ago when a close second in a 2400m novice event at Newmarket. Open to further improvement. Leading player. VALIANCY (7) finished seventh on debut contesting a 2000m maiden at Newbury. Represents notable connections. Progress expected. SIMPLY RUBY (10) was not disgraced two weeks back when fourth in a 2000m novice event at Salisbury. Might feature. EARNEST BELIEF (5) looks one to note.

Second run back. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after four months 3rd in a small field at Ripon on April 17 over 2400m, 6 len behind Middle Ages with 64.5kg at $17. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at Carlisle on November 11 over 3430m, 28 len behind Disco Annie carrying 71kg at $5.50. Harder here though and isn't among the top hopes today.
