Stewards Note:
CAPITANO: Following its run on 9/6/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.
Probable S.P’s: 7-4 Candonomore (FR), Welcome Dream (IRE), 11-2 Dubai First (FR), 6-1 Unique Spirit (IRE), 80-1 Capitano (GB), 100-1 Max Stripes (GB)
There’s not much to separate CANDONOMORE and Welcome Dream but the former probably has the greater scope for further progress after only 3 starts and has proven himself on today’s ground so he gets the nod.

PLAY SMARTER
SHELBOURNE underlined his liking for testing conditions when an impressive winner at Catterick on return and, on similar ground, he’s capable of following up if the trip doesn’t stretch him. Miners Gamble is likely to up his game over the longer trip and Princess Alex should be better for her reappearance.

We have agreed with our vets that the screen should be erected, whenever a horse requires veterinary treatment on the course. This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.
Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.

PLAY SMARTER
This looks like a good opportunity forVON BAER to open his account. The Brian Meehan-trained colt achieved a pretty useful level of form last season and his reappearance third at Kempton was encouraging. Aragon Castle was well below par on return at Bath but can be expected to leave that behind here and he is feared most. Offer And Receive is open to improvement and should also have a part to play.

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards In addition Haydock Park Racecourse employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital
