With racing taking place here at Haydock last weekend, the ground already described as heavy and with more rain in the forecast, conditions will be extremely testing. However, this opener looks to be a really interesting race on paper. Both Navajo Pass and Geomatrician will undoubtedly be winning races soon, but the pair on which to focus on this occasion are Grenadier Guard and SWIFT WING. The former was an eye-catching fourth at Ripon last week, while the latter hails from an exceptional family line, and in finishing third to a stablemate on debut at Ascot certainly gave the impression that he'd be far wiser for his next racecourse visit.
