GO DUTCH TO MAKE PROFIT AT HAYDOCK

DUTCH Connection can prove a class above his rivals and land the Betway John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock this afternoon.

Charles Hill’s six-year-old (left) can prove he is Group 1 animal in a Group 3 race and win this contest with a bit in hand.

He ran a big race to finish fourth behind Rhododendron in the Lockinge Stakes last time and the third-placed Lancaster Bomber franked the form since by winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup on Irish Guineas weekend at the Curragh.

Dutch Connection is back down in trip to the last distance he won over and he will relish ground conditions at Haydock.

MUTHMIR is another runner who could appreciate the drop in class and he could go close in the Betway Achilles Stakes.

The William Haggas-trained sprinter was fifth behind the brilliant Battaash in the Armstrong Aggregates Temple Stakes over course and distance two weeks ago.

FOSUN is a fascinating runner for German trainer Markus Klug in the Betway Pinnacle Stakes, also at Haydock.

She is a two-time listed winner in Germany and it is very interesting that champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa takes the ride.

This year’s field doesn’t look as strong and the contest could go to a non-uk runner for the second year in a row after Bateel’s success for French trainer Francis-henri Graffard 12 months ago.

We couldn’t let this week go without mentioning Justify and his bid to become just the 13th horse to win the American Triple Crown.

Bob Baffert’s star has already claimed the Preakness Stakes and the Kentucky Derby and can make history by winning the Belmont Stakes tonight.
