It should stack up well for Lord Ben

Newmarket David Milnes

El Vip (4.30 Haydock, nap)
Won his maiden impressively at the first time of asking at Doncaster in July and has been working well on the watered gallop of late. Luca Cumani’s colt is well drawn and should like the track.

Lambourn James Burn

North Colin Russell

Lord Ben Stack (4.30 Haydock, nap)
Lightly raced four-year-old who hasn’t won since his juvenile days. Drifting down the weights, though, and got no kind of run last time. Expected to bounce back, particularly as the step up in trip will be in his favour.
