14:10 Haydock – Stargazed – 1pt @ 10/1

Stargazed hasn’t kicked on from her promising return to action but she might be worth taking a chance on now that she’s getting the opportunity to tackle a testing surface.

It’s not definite that it’ll play to her strengths but the softest ground she has faced in her career came at Ripon last July and yielded a three-length maiden win, Boston Dan finishing second.

The ground has been quicker for all of this season’s starts and I fancied her to run a big race at York last time when equipped with a first-time visor.

She was sleepy in the gates compared to the others, however, and ended up having to burn too much petrol early doors, which led to a slightly tamer finish than what you’d hope for.

No headgear is in use this time, something I’m hoping will help her alertness at the start, and the way this race should pan out on the ground won’t put her on her head so easily.

We need to find out whether she can hack handicapping company on this surface but she’s a double-figured price, is down to a really workable mark and looks worthy of a punt.
