Haydock Park Race 8 - Get Daily Tips At Racingtv.com Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
There should be more to come from the unexposed three-year-old HIGH STORM (4) who steps up to 2800m for the first time following his comfortable success at Thirsk last time. Karl Burke's gelding can find more progress here and a 2kg rise in the weights may well underestimate his chances. YAA MIN (2) bolted up over course and distance in testing ground last time out and can remain competitive off a 3kg higher rating with conditions to suit once more. GONE BY (1) had been progressing nicely until struggling in the Listed Chalice Stakes at Newmarket and she cannot be ruled out back down in class. The market can reveal more about the chances of PHANTOM RECON (6).
