Haydock Park Race 3 - Pertemps Network 'Junior' NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
PLAN DE STAN (6) bids to make it third time lucky following two runner-up finishes on first two attempts including placing second in a Hereford jumpers flat race a month ago. May go one better. ST GABRIEL (9) is the pick of the debutants representing a top-class jockey and trainer combination. Bred by Devastar out of Al Sahra. The dam is a half-sister to two-time G2 winner Askar Tau. Worth considering. ARIBIDIA (2) improved from finishing fifth on debut at Kempton Park to place third in a Warwick jumpers flat race providing latest outing. Expected to challenge. RUNNING HAPPY (1) aims to remain unbeaten after debuting with a 6L triumph at Huntingdon.

Freshened since an encouraging debut won by 6 len Huntingdon on April 4 over 3200m defeating Westbrooke Boy with 71kg at $6.50. Likely to appreciate the transition to jumping.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Kew Gardens out of Whist A While. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Racing second-up. Was promising at debut finished second of 12 runners at Hereford on December 20 over 3200m, on slow going 2.5 len behind Red Metal with 71kg at $6.50. Went for a break before returning finished second of 11 starters at Hereford on April 6 over 3200m, 1.0 len behind Crystal Jet with 67.5kg at $4. Well placed here and expected to be tough to beat.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Ribchester out of Oydis. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Devastar out of Al Sahra. Keep very safe.
