'I'll be disappointed if she gets beat' - Tom Bellamy and Gareth Topham join the panel to analyse the Easter action
ITV is showing jumps action at Haydock on Saturday. What’s your strongest fancy?
Phill Anderson The Churchill Lad (3.05) was a course-and-distance winner earlier in the season and he’s been running well in defeat since, including a fourth in the competitive Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso earlier this month. This is an easier assignment and he should relish getting back on a softer surface.
Tom Bellamy I ride Doughmore Bay in the Challenger Stayers Hurdle Final (2.40) and he's a very consistent sort. If he puts his best foot forward he should have a good each-way chance in a race which is competitive.
Jamie Hart Brentford Hope (2.05) has had a meteoric rise up the ratings over the last 12 months, but that is largely down to the fact he travels so strongly through deep ground. He was placed in a Group 2 on the Flat on heavy so has the class to offset his hike in the weights. He will be getting his perfect conditions again here and I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t bag his fifth win for Harry Derham.
