No. 7
Closing Ceremony
2.05 Haydock
1pt win at 11-2 generallyYou should never be afraid of one horse, especially one whose claims rest on victory in a three-runner race in a dreadful time, so Big Shark is worth taking on.

He crossed the line more than 70 seconds outside the RP standard time at Hereford in November yet one of his two rivals was still beaten a long way out and it's hardly the most robust piece of form.

Of course, he is lightly raced and unbeaten, but we have no idea how he is going to handle Haydock's unique gluepot conditions, which do not suit every horse.
