The KTB Fit ranking
-
1Star Anthem KTB Selection59/100
Fair performer who has not been in much form this year and finished well beaten on both starts. Has run only once at Haydock and was well held, though both trainer and jockey have solid records at the track. Drops back from a mile to a trip where he has placed without winning, and he has shown he can be competitive on heavy ground.
-
2Korker58/100
Korker is a fair handicapper who has run creditably at this track in the past and won here once from five visits. He has shown little spark in six starts this year and has failed to place in four runs at today's trip. The yard and jockey both have solid records at Haydock while he has handled heavy ground before.
-
3Ata Rangi58/100
Ata Rangi is a fair performer who has won both starts at Haydock and has scored twice at today's trip. He arrives in decent form after a win and a placed effort this year yet has never placed in four runs on heavy ground. The Ed Walker yard and Tom Marquand both hold solid records at the track.
-
4Montezin58/100
Montezin is a fair performer who won on his only previous visit to Haydock and has scored once at this trip from three attempts. He showed his best form when winning a handicap last time but has been inconsistent otherwise with four placings from his last six starts. The trainer holds a solid 11 percent strike rate here from 38 runs while the horse remains unproven on heavy ground.
-
5Darkness57/100
Fair performer who has been out of form for some time with a string of poor efforts. He has placed once from two runs at Haydock and has won at today's trip, but he is completely unproven on heavy ground. The trainer holds a solid 12% strike rate at the track from a large sample.
