Haydock Park Race 5 - Betfred 'Play Fred's 5 Million' Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
PARTICIPLE (10) showed plenty of potential on debut last August when a nose second in a 1600m novice event at Salisbury. That form has worked out strongly with the winner scoring among Listed company since. Top chance. MISTER WINSTON (7) looks progressive following a 5L second tackling a 2000m maiden at Chester three weeks ago. Likely player. FAN CLUB (4) recorded a promising debut fourth last October over 1400m at Doncaster. Shortlist representing notable connections. LOVE BEACH (6) is one to note.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd in a small field at Nottingham on April 12 over 1680m, 2.75 len behind Secret Theory with 57.5kg at $19. Last start 2nd of 9 at Chester on May 7 over 2100m, 5 len behind Daiquiri Bay with 60.5kg at $8.50. Fitter now and making headway. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
