Johnston can have a Field day

TULIP FIELDS can bloom in the Betfair November Handicap ( 3.15, ITV4), which will bring a Flat season like no other to an end at Doncaster today.

Thanks to the coronavirus cri si s, t he campaign got underway 65 days later than planned, with the Guineas run in June and the Derby in July.

But some things haven’t changed – and the constant f low of winners from Mark Johnston’s stable i s one of them.

Golden Horn’s daughter Tulip Fields has contributed t h r e e v i c t o r i e s t o h e r t r a i n e r ’s t a l l y f o r 2 0 2 0 , scoring at Goodwood and Newmarket in June before hitting the bullseye over this a f t e r n o o n’s c o u r s e a n d distance last month.

R a i n - s o f t e n e d t e r r a i n helped my selection’s cause and Tulip Fields will again relish the juice in the ground on Town Moor.
