It’s very rare that a meeting here passes without at least one Paul Nicholls’ winner being recorded and SAINT DE REVE is one of only two stable entries on today’s card. Second at Wincanton and Newbury since unseating his rider on his chasing bow, he gets 7lb from Broken Quest who was never travelling at Haydock having earlier made a winning start over the larger obstacles at Ludlow. Renwick placed over fences at Wetherby in November 2019 but hasn’t been seen since.
Broken Quest (IRE) 7-1 (11-5) Never going in rear, mistake 6th, tailed off and pulled up before 4 out, at Haydock 2m 5f hcp (3) gs in Mar.
Saint De Reve (FR) 4-1 (11-10) Chased leaders, not fluent 5th, challenged 10th, led 4 out, joined last, soon headed and no impression on winner, 2nd of 8, 6l behind Dublin Four (11-3) at Newbury 2m 6f hcp (3) gs in Mar.
Renwick (IRE) 4-1 (11-9) Tracked leaders in 3rd, led 5 out, headed before 3 out, led 2 out, headed before last, kept on and always well held run-in, 2nd of 9, 5l behind Late Romantic (12-0) at Wetherby 3m hcp (4) sft in Nov.
