Haydock Park Race 4 - Betfred 'Join Our Sports Club' Handicap
THINK OF A NAME (6) showed plenty of ability in this handicap grade when a good 5.5L third over 1000m at Bath last month. Serious player. PIETRO (10) produced a smart fourth contesting a similar level 1600m handicap at Kempton AW. Rates highly. JARHAM (7) holds a progressive profile following a 1.5L second in a 1400m novice race at Kempton AW. Interesting. LIGHTNING GALAXY (11) ran well a month ago finishing 1.75L runner-up in a 1200m maiden at Ayr. Might feature.
