Haydock Park Race 4

Sky Bet Supreme Trial Rossington Main Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)

Stake: $152,214

ROYAL INFANTRY (1) looks an exciting prospect having made a winning hurdling debut at Chepstow preceding an 8.5L success in a course and distance introductory hurdle last month. Top chance. DEDICATED HERO (2) holds a consistent record to date following an easy 7.5L victory in a 3200m maiden hurdle last month at Kelso. Makes plenty of appeal. PEACENIK (5) was off the mark at the fourth attempt on New Years Day when 0.5L contesting a 3400m novices hurdle at Exeter. Could go well again. WALKING ON A DREAM (6) has displayed plenty of potential after winning at Ayr. Next best.

Recent form hard to fault. Last outing finished second of 19 runners at Leopardstown 4yo+ NHDLE HCP on December 26 over 3200m, 2 len behind Shraheen carrying 68kg at $41. Race before finished fourth of 8 starters at Cheltenham 4yo+ HDLE (C2) on October 25 over 4000m, 35 len behind Potters Charm carrying 69kg at $19. No surprise to see her back in winner's stall.
