Haydock - Sat 19th Dec - ABANDONED

[fintron]

2.20 Haydock 3m handicap chase run on soft ground on this left-handed, galloping chase course. Pretty Star - experienced chaser but has been holding his form well recently and rasied 2 lbs for narrow defeat at Ascot last time out. Kim Muir second that would not be winning out of turn. The Vicar - course winner that has only run in 7 chases to date, the win coming over 2m 4f here in novices event. PU in Jewson since and wasn't disgraced over course and distance last time out when perhaps suggesting he'd come on for the run. Looks well handicapped on his previous course win formline and no surprise to see go well under Graham Lee. I'moncloudnine - failed to justify favouritism when second to Strawberry at Fakenham when last seen but progressive chaser 4-7 now and facile Aintree win when romping home by 17-lengths reads well. 9 lbs higher that that mark having been raised 2 lb upon latest second but further improvement not ruled out. Bets: The Vicar 12/1 Bet 365, 0.5 pt win/0.25 pt place (3 places, 1/4 odds) I'moncloudnine 8/1 WH, 0.12 pt (saver) Pretty Star 9/1 Bet 365, 0.13 pt (saver)
