Haydock Park Race 6 - By Eck Its Boddingtons Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
ASIA FORCE (2) looked a cut above his rivals when successful over course and distance by 1.25L (heavy) three weeks ago. Handicapper unlikely to have his measure just yet. MY BALLYQUINN (1) bounced back from a lesser effort in a fierce York handicap finishing 2L third at Doncaster (2400m) latest. Consistent and may prove the biggest threat. GLORY OF THE SEAS (4) easily justified favouritism when last seen among maiden company (2200m good to soft) in June. Expect he will have more to offer. GLORY ROAD (3) won nicely at Newcastle making handicap debut (2500m) in July before never getting involved latest. Afforded another chance.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 1.3 len at this track on September 5 over 2800m in heavy going defeating Galilean Quality with 55.5kg at $7.50. Before that scored a big 5.5 len win at Carlisle on August 11 over 2800m defeating Dance Time carrying 58kg at $2.50. Going well enough to take this out.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 11th of 17 at York on August 22 over 2800m, 10 len behind Infraad carrying 53.5kg at $19. The race before that won by 0.8 len at Newcastle All Weather on July 25 over 2500m defeating Ruby Wedding with 60.5kg at $2.50. Rates highly and can break back into the winners circle.
