In depth
Verdict
Lil Guff is a previous winner at Haydock Park and is turned out quickly under a 6lb penalty. NOYA has a first run in handicaps and a mark of 78 appears a handy one for Roger Charlton to exploit. Ironically Benoit De La Sayette rode her at Lingfield earlier in the month and he switches allegiance to Dreams Of Thunder. A recent recruit to Amy Murphy’s team from Robert Cowell, she appreciated a step back up to 6f last time while Lady Raeburn shapes as if this trip will suit.
