2:00 Haydock Tips

Dreams Adozen looks the most convincing option in this race and is taken to return from her break ready to go well. Last season she won a Class 5 handicap over 1m6f at Nottingham Racecourse on heavy ground off 73, staying on strongly to score by ¾L. That performance highlighted both her stamina and effectiveness in testing conditions. Earlier in the campaign she had also won at Musselburgh Racecourse in a Class 4 handicap over 2m2f on good to soft ground, winning by 2¼L off 71 in a 0-85 contest. That piece of form suggests she is capable of being competitive from higher marks than this. A key factor is her record on softer ground. Of her seven career wins, four have come on surfaces described as soft or heavy, so any testing conditions are likely to play firmly to her strengths. Her proven stamina over further than today’s trip is another major positive. She returns from a break just 2 lb higher than her Nottingham success and conditions appear ideal. With underfoot conditions likely to suit perfectly, Dreams Adozen looks to hold very strong claims.
