Haydock
Sat 6th Sep

Formscan  - Empirestateofmind has been in good heart of late, supplementing his placed efforts at Hamilton and Chester with a victory at Ayr last time. A 3lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold display from the veteran, but the younger legs of A WAR EAGLE may have his measure. Edward Bethell's three-year-old has filled the runner-up berth on his last two outings and compensation could be imminent. Last-time-out maiden winners Mezcala and Special Ghaiyyath are also worth a second look.
