'Eddie will have to ride a canny race from the front'.

3.40 Haydock Hattons Solicitors Handicap 1m RUK Card page 61 Key stat Richard Hannon has a 38% strike-rate when teaming up with Eddie Ahern here in the last four seasons. The duo are represented by Cyflymder

What they say John Jenkins, trainer of Mishrif "I've been happy with him since I got him. He's got a lot of weight, but I'm hopeful he'll run well."

Richard Hannon, trainer of Cyflymder "He's one of the most improved handicappers in the yard and has done really well since we got him from James Given. He has won in the soft, but fast ground seems to suit him particularly well, so I'm pleased to see they had only 1mm at Haydock on Tuesday night. He has had a break since he completed the seven-furlong hat-trick at Sandown and is only 3lb higher, but he likes to dictate matters and Eddie Ahern will have to ride a canny race from the front to conserve his stamina."

Richard Fahey, trainer of Deadly Secret "He's been gelded since his last run. He was disappointing at Ascot but ran well before that at Doncaster. The trip's fine." John Spearing, trainer of Mull Of Killough "The form of his Nottingham run [second to Firebet] has worked out well and I'm happy with him. He won't mind the ground and there was some give at Nottingham."

Debbie Sanderson, trainer of Happy Anniversary "She's bred to go further, so we're slightly increasing her distance to the mile. She always seems to come up against one that pips her but she's very genuine and she's worked very well this week. She would appreciate some cut in the ground but she will run well on good."

Michael Dods, trainer of Tiger Reigns "He will enjoy the ground. It's very competitive, but he should run well."

Eric Alston, trainer of Toledo Gold "This is his first try at a mile but there's no reason why he shouldn't stay; I think last time was a bit short for him. He seems in good order."
