Haydock Park Race 5

Jcb Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $26,752

Previous course and distance winner DUKE OF DECEPTION (1) finished second under similar conditions here 31 days ago. Only 1kg higher and there are plenty of reasons to be positive. IMPATIENT (2) was still in contention when falling at Southwell last month. Earlier Ffos Las win (4828m) marked him out as a staying handicap chaser of promise. Danger. SAFE DESTINATION (4) finished first or second in each of six starts this season. Beaten 9.5L from this career-high mark most recently. Might be able to find further improvement. GOOD WORK (3) is an infrequent winner. Holds place claims.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after four months fell at Southwell on March 17 over 5180m. Previously second-up won by 4 len Ffos Las on November 10 over 4800m defeating Phantom Getaway with 73.5kg at $41 in a steeplechase. Worth including.

Last outing finished fourth of 11 runners at Uttoxeter on March 29 over 4800m, 28 len behind Konfusion with 74kg at $21. Run before pulled up at Exeter on February 21 over 6100m. Might find this a bit too tough.

Dual acceptor. Useful gelding. Resumes off a 34 day letup. Last run finished second of 7 starters at Chepstow on March 16 over 4700m, 9 len behind Ask Brewster with 73kg at $6.50. Run before finished second of 8 starters at Taunton on February 18 over 4600m, 2.5 len behind Camulus with 71kg at $6. Sure to improve again.
