    Desperate to bet Midnight Lion, after his run at Newcastle, but got to be a doubt he’ll be back out as soon. He’s some price at 25’s too, and I’m watching for any jockey booking

    Stablemate Humble Spark, probably better than what we seen on Saturday, and he’s interesting, as is The Reverend

    No bet right now

    Midnight Lion

    I think that Stressfree has an excellent chance in this. He won at this C/D
    on 31st May sitting well off the pace and coming through with a wet sail to
    win cleverly by a neck. The handicapper stuck another 5lbs on him which is
    fair enough. Last time out he ran no kind of a race in the Duke Of Edinburgh
    Stakes at Ascot, trailing in 15th of 18. He went off at 7/1 and the stewards
    questioned O’meara but he said that the gelding was unsuited to ground with any
    word of “firm” in it, he needed some give. As Nick says the weather at haydock
    is generally fine, perhaps a little light rain late afternoon today but they do
    forecast steady light rain throughout Saturday. It won’t alter the going greatly
    but it should take any mention of “firm” out of the going. I haven’t bet him yet,
    he’s only mentioned on a few bookies with 12/1 being best. I’ll keep a constant
    look and grab that if it appears to be being bet but I was hoping for something
    like 16s. He also needs 4 to drop out so beware.

    Stressful – Best price at the moment, 12/1

    My apologies, I don’t know where I got the idea he was 21st on the
    list, he is of course 3rd by weight so no problem him running if
    he wants to.

    all of a sudden from out of nowhere the Met office tell us there could be a fair amount of rain hitting haydock. Oh well it is what it is
