Haydock Park Race 2 - Betfair Celebrates Bow Echo Ascendant Stakes (Listed)
FIRST LAW (2) Put the head down when winning last run in a chase at Sandown and having second race start. William T Buick is a pivotal booking but racing in stronger company. Looks a worthwhile proposition today. ROCKET BOY (4) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Salisbury but taking on stronger rivals. Change in trainer. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Can go on with it. RAFE'S DA MAN (3) Was eating up the ground late to win last start at Goodwood and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Expecting to settle positively. Up in class. Solid place bet prospects. ARTHURIAN (1) Competitive effort when 2nd last run around here and has a good draw. Up against a more competitive field. Place hope.

In the money when 2nd last run at the track and will try to take advantage of the draw. Facing stiffer opposition. Can run into the placings.

Really dug deep when winning by a nose last run in a chase at Sandown and was a debutant last start. Stepping up to a higher level. Tough competitor.

Picked up nicely to win last start at Goodwood and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has plenty of early speed. Up against a higher level of opposition. Watch the market moves.

Placed 3rd last start at Salisbury but competing at a higher grade. First start for a new trainer. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Very capable of taking this out.

Honest race when 3rd last start at Beverley but competing in a more challenging grade. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. This won't be easy.

Attacked the line when 2nd last time at York and gets the perfect draw. Might be ridden for luck. Showing improvement in recent outings. Competing in a higher grade. Very minor chance.
