1.55 Haydock: Coedana
Dave Nevison
Finished: 3rdSP: 4/1
Ed Bethell has shown himself an expert with late-developing, staying types, and Coedana looks to be just the latest example.
This three-year-old has been on a steep upward curve on each of her five starts and has yet to finish out of the frame. Her two wins have come on the all-weather, but she ran well on her only turf start, so I am not concerned about the switch to grass here.
The way she pulled away from her rivals at Newcastle last time out to win by over five lengths suggests she will stay the extra two furlongs here, and she seems likely to improve further.
She would still have won last time carrying the extra 8lb she has been burdened with here, and I think she will complete the hat-trick.
3.05 Haydock: Eternal Force
Dave Nevison
Finished: 1stSP: 5/2
Eternal Force’s debut in a handicap resulted in a win, and with that Newbury contest already producing two next-time-out winners, it looks to be strong form for the grade.
The handicapper has only raised the selection by 5lb for that success, and that definitely appears lenient.
The William Haggas and Tom Marquand combination have been in strong form recently, and Eternal Force looks to be nap material here with the trip, ground and draw all looking ideal.
He is bred to be a Group-class performer, and this may be the last time he is running off a mark in the 80’s.
4.50 Haydock: Kinswoman
Dave Nevison
Finished: 1stSP: 11/8
There is no doubt that Jer Batt is handicapped to win a race, especially over this course and distance, but I have burned my fingers a couple of times this season on him already, and I am happy to pass him over.
He will hopefully do me a favour by making the William Haggas-trained Kinswoman a bigger price, as this filly would go off at short odds without the presence of the David and Nicola Barron-trained runner.
Kinswoman has been in terrific form recently and definitely ran her best race when just failing to complete the hat-trick in a strong field at York last time.
Unsurprisingly, this is another beautifully-bred youngster from the Haggas yard, and connections will no doubt be looking at black-type races in the not too distant future. However, while she remains attractively weighted, she can continue to win handicaps.
