Haydock Park Race 3 - William Hill Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2)
DIVISION (4) caught the eye keeping on strongly to finish a close-up third over 1200m in the G3 Pavilion Stakes at Ascot earlier this month. Trained by William Haggas and was returning from a seven month absence on that occasion. Could have taken a significant step forward and remaining unexposed tackling the trip may show improved form this time around. Winning the G1 Prix Morny last year VENETIAN SUN (8) was well-beaten in the 1600m G1 1000 Guineas making her reappearance. Deserves respect now dropping back to 1200m. With trainer Karl Burke this filly may pose a bigger threat than recent G3 Pavilion Stakes winner COPPULL (3) although he too holds obvious claims. BRUSSELS (2) cannot be dismissed.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by a neck at Ascot G3 Pavilion Stakes May 1 over 1200m defeating Midnight Tango carrying 58.5kg at $4.50.

Second-up. First-up after eight months 7th of 14 at Newmarket (Rowley) in the G3 Palace House Stakes on May 2 over 1000m, 6 len behind Night Raider with 58.5kg at $34. Previously second-up scored a big 5 len win at Salisbury August 13 over 1200m defeating Crown Of Light carrying 59kg at $3. Better than that and worth following up.

Resuming after a eight months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 8 at Newbury in the G2 Mill Reef Stakes September 20 over 1200m, 13 len behind Words Of Truth carrying 58.5kg at $2.80. On debut favourite; won by 1.3 len Leicester May 27 over 1200m defeating He's Tru Blue with 60.5kg at $5. Hard to fault if anywhere near right.
