Several have chances but we take the opinion that Turn On The Style is on an upward curve and he gets the nod over Intrepid Jack, who is capable but has a penalty to contend with today. My Gacho and Sapphire Dream appeal out of those likely to be available at longer odds, while Park Approach showed ability last season but might be best watched on her first start for her new yard. Sapphire Dream at least has the beating of top weight Alexia Rose if their encounter at Chester is taken on face value. The Mind Games filly may have needed the run on her reappearance and can go close this afternoon. She finished fourth behind the high-class Satin Kiss on her only previous visit to Haydock and obviously likes the galloping nature of the course. My Gacho has carried his good form from the All Weather over to the turf and shapes as he can continue to pay his way this term. However, he was no match for Intrepid Jack last week and he needs everything to drop just right for him to reverse the form this afternoon. Conversely, Hughie Morrison's charge has more to do with 6lbs extra in the saddle cloth this afternoon. Still, Intrepid Jack is open to a fair bit more improvement and he can go close again. Nevertheless, we just prefer Turn On The Style, who has really got his act together at present. The ground seems impervious to this game son of Pivotal, as he has gone well on a fast surface as well as winning over course and distance on soft ground a fortnight ago. So we stick with Turn On The Style in a race that is likely to be run to suit his strengths.
