Haydock national trial 3.20

When they call the ground heavy at Haydock they mean it  3m4f and a low weight seems the order of the day.Based on the trends from the past 10 years you are looking for a horse:

·         Aged 7 to 9

·         Officially rated 135 to 146

·         Won or placed last time out

·         Posted highest RPR at a left-handed track in past 2 outings

·         Won over 2M 7F or further

·         Run in 8 or fewer handicap chases (winning no more than 1)

·         First 2 in Scottish, Welsh, Summer or Scottish Borders National

·         Won a class 2 or better chase worth 17K+

·         Priced between 7/1 and 18/1

The ground distorts everything that's for sure but animals who are in good form off a low weight and can stay longer than the crowds in Cairo is what your looking for 

have shortlisted the following 

• Westend Rocker (will love the ground)
• Major Malarky will def stay on his run  at Chepstow
• King Fontain (Course win was very good indeed and just romped clear)
• Sarde - Am very keen on this light weight improving animal - however there are reports that it bruised a foot and missed a week preparation - how it has affected him will be shown in the market. its win at Newbury where it flew the fences over 3m2f under an amateur was brilliant - of a low weight - has only run on heavy twice  but has had feet problems and these seem to be well cured - will do for me 
•  Good luck all
