Haydock Park Race 5 - William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap

STRENGTH OF SPIRIT (1) is racing impressively with three wins and a runner-up finish last four starts including winning on seasonal reappearance at Musselburgh by 1L three weeks ago. Leading contender. GO RIMBAUD (4) shed the maiden tag on first start this season securing a Kempton Park AW maiden by 1L after finishing runner-up twice in succession prior. Dangerous. COMMANDING OFFICER (6) makes some attraction towards bottom of the weights representing notable connections. Gained a neck success over course and distance last time. Might double up. SEE BLUE (3) cannot be discounted after placing second last time out.
