Haydock and Yarmouth

The other flat meetings in the U.K. today, Haydock and Yarmouth, have relatively modest fare on offer, although the former course does at least have two class 3 handicaps on the card. In the first, for 3yo´s over 6 furlongs at 16.35 CET, looks quite open; top-weight Aye Aye Digby (Ian Mongan), whose trainer Henry Candy is having a great run with his sprinters, renews rivalry with Rubirosa (Michael Dods/ Fergal Lynch), whom he defeated a month ago at Nottingham. The latter has since won, but still reopposes on 7 lbs better terms. Rash Judgement (Stuart Kittow/Fergus Sweeney) has twice finished runner-up this season over 5 furlongs, but this trip could be ideal and he rates a big danger. The mile handicap at 17.45 looks easier, and last-time-out winners Farley Star (Roger Charlton/ Fergus Sweeney) and Obezyana (Alan Bailey/ Dominic Fox) could dominatwe the finish, with preference for the latter, an easy CD winner 19 days ago. At Yarmouth, where all 8 races are class 5 or 6, we have to wait until the last race at 18.35 for a good bet, as Si Belle (Rae Guest/ Seb Sanders) won so easily on Sunday that she can take the 3yo handicap over 1 3/4 miles under a penalty. Bouggler (Julie Camacho/ Tom Queally), placed both starts this season and who probably needs this trip, is the most obvious threat.
