NEMEAN LION 9/4 1pt WIN
(Hills)
Nemean Lion was a fairly backed second fav for the Lanzarote last time out, and finished his race strongly to get up for 2nd, despite the good ground on the day likely to have been less than suitable. His penultimate run in the Greatwood looks a particularly strong piece of form given his rivals have each come out and won/run well in similar/better races, and as a 7YO, Nemean Lion remains lightly raced and open to
improvement. His last time out speed figure is nicely clear of today’s rivals, and a drop back to 2m upon better suited testing ground can prove to be a winning move from connections here.

BOTOX HAS 9/4 1pt WIN
(bet365)
Botox Has is 1 from 1 round Haydock and will once again benefit from the left handed, flat/galloping nature of this venue, as we've also witnessed of him at similar
courses. Barring Sounds Russian, who returns from a 337 day layoff in this race, the rest of this field have plenty to find with him on ratings. He's sure to appreciate the heavy going given he's 3 wins from 9, 5/9 a place, upon soft/heavy ground, and we can certainly discount his previous two outings upon ground that ultimately proved too lively. Hard to see who'll be the main danger under these prime conditions, and the in form Gary Moore team can strike.
