4.00 Haydock (Spring Trophy Stakes, Listed Event) This looks a tight event with the top 4 very closely matched on official ratings and the bottom one improving rapidly. Bravo Zolo is the one at the bottom and has won his last 3 starts, they have all been on the AW and in small fields, this represents a huge step up in company but folly to dismiss and very much unknown on turf aswell as very testing conditions. That Is The Spirit ran an awful race at the Curragh on reappearance with a shrewd yard and wont mind testing conditions if back on song. Diescentric ran a very promising race on return from a break at Wolves latest, that was over the extended mile and it may be with age he requires further, again soft ground no issue. Aeolus has not had a run yet this season which may count against him in a field like this and with testing conditions and also not convinced over this trip yet, looks out of this in my opinion. Everyone knows Penitent and the more rain we get the better for him, he loves it when the mud is flying. Not beaten far in 2 starts so far this season which are easy to excuse given the fast ground conditions. He is 1 from 1 over this CD and from a yard going well presently. 1pt win Penitent 4/1 bet365
