The future looked promising fro Dark Mischief when he won at Newmarket in April but he failed to progress from there. After being gelded he was tried on the all weather at Lingfield where he ran well in 3rd behind Jaconet. On that showing he looks to have a race in him between now and the end of the season. He runs in the 3.30 at Haydock tomorrow.
The 4.00 could be between Dark Lane and Cape Vale. Cape Vale has found a consistent run of form and I would just give him the edge although Dark Lane, who has recently moved to Richard Fahey’s yard is respected.
In the 4.30 Hada Men is worth considering. Red Fama is yet to recapture last season’s form and may need further help from the handicapper.
Dylanesque lost her chance in the preliminaries last time but if she has learned from the experience would have a chance in the 2.10 at Yarmouth.
