Haydock
Sat 5th Sep

Formscan  - William Haggas has trained two of the last three winners of this and is back for more with Finalise, third in a Listed race in Germany on her only start of the season and open to improvement back in handicap company. However, AEGEAN PRINCE has won two of his four starts, with an impressive Ascot victory last October followed by a Listed second at Deauville, and he should have more to offer now upped in trip on his comeback. Dancing In Paris and Hermetic are others to consider.
