Loyal followers of this column will remember I tipped 3 horses in one race at Ludlow last month and luckily they finished 1-2-3. Two of those horses cross swords again today at Haydock and you are probably right thinking I’m brave trying to split the pair, but I do think one is open to a lot of improvement, especially now upped in trip.
EY UP ROCKY had some smart form in the book before injury meant he had to have a spell on the sidelines but he returned at Ludlow 28 days ago with a fine run over two miles. He travelled well and was only just beaten by Eddiemaurice and Star Of Rory, who re-opposes here. I think the selection should appreciate the extra 3f he encounters here and providing the bounce factor doesn’t take effect I think he will be very hard to beat.
