A market check is advised with Jim Goldie saddling interesting runners at the head and foot of the weights whilst Livvy Inn, Best Prospect and Blue Nymph would all be of interest if the market were to give out the right signals. Bob's Dream has something to prove on this season's form but Bogside Theatre has claims if none the worse for her tumble at Wetherby. Raysrock is entitled to have come on for his reappearance at Haydock and he has enough form at this track to be of keen interest but marginal preference is for DOESLESSTHANME. He lacks a run which is a slight concern but his yard is in decent form at present and this course and distance winner can make the most of a drop in grade.
