Henry Candy is set to launch a formidable twin assault on the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday after confirming both Limato and Twilight Son as intended runners.

Limato has missed a number of engagements since chasing home Muhaarar in the inaugural Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot due to his preference for a quick surface.

Twilight Son has won each of his four starts to date and is set to step up in class following a valuable handicap success at York in July.

Candy said: "It's looking hopeful (ground-wise) for Limato. He seems in good order.

"He (Twilight Son) will run as well, all being well. It's probably a crazy idea, but we'll give it a go.

"Graham Lee will ride Limato and Fergus (Sweeney) will ride Twilight Son."
