A top-quality Class 2 handicap, which features a fascinating re-match between the Royal Hunt Cup 1-2 Dark Vision and MONTATHAM. On 3lb better terms (for 1¼L), the fast-improving William Haggas-trained runner is fancied to gain his revenge under the handling of the former champion jockey Jim Crowley. The Royal Hunt Cup form was given a direct boost earlier this week with the third-placed Pogo making all to score at Windsor. Of the remainder, the likes of Mutasaamy and Acquitted make appeal as up-and-coming youngsters, although the latter was undoubtedly disappointing at Royal Ascot (1m2f). Meanwhile, Shelir was also declared to race at Haydock on Saturday (2.40pm).
