Haydock
Fri 17th Oct

Formscan  - After winning both starts since being gelded, ETERNAL FORCE is an attractive proposition with his bid to complete a hat-trick. The son of Dubawi kept on well under similar conditions at Newbury last time and a 5lb higher mark looks manageable. Angel Hunter was the ready winner of a classified stakes at Ascot a fortnight ago and is notable back in a handicap after that likely confidence-boosting success. His stable companion Talis Evolvere and the handicapping newcomer Warrior Mode are others to consider.
