Paul Kealy's play of the day at Haydock

3.35 Haydock

If Venetia Williams was banging in the winners I'd make Fontaine Collonges the bet of the weekend by some margin.

Heading into Friday's racing she was still looking for her first winner since April. However, Williams has had seven seconds in November, so plenty are running well, and Fontaine Collonges has a strong chance on paper.

She was last seen running away with a decent mares' chase over 2m4f on heavy ground at Lingfield (making her 2-2 on that going, she has also won twice on soft), yet everything about her pedigree says she is going to be a lot better over a longer trip.

By the same sire as Haydock mudlark Bristol De Mai, her dam is a half-sister to Grand National winner Neptune Collonges, and there's every chance she's going to leave her previous form well behind now she tries 3m for the first time.
