Twilight Son among Haydock entries
Wednesday 6 July 2016 18:06, UK
Last year's winner Twilight Son features among 52 entries for the Haydock Park Sprint Cup on September 3.
Henry Candy's colt stretched his then unbeaten record to five in the six-furlong Group One last season before chasing home the brilliant Muhaarar in the British Champions Sprint at Ascot.
He was only fifth on his return to action at York, but raised his game to land the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot last month and is among the favourites for this Saturday's July Cup at Newmarket.
Stable companion Limato, who is also bound for the July Course this weekend, has been given an entry for Haydock.
Other July Cup hopefuls who could then make the journey to Merseyside include Karl Burke's Royal Ascot heroine Quiet Reflection, Clive Cox's King's Stand winner Profitable and the Charlie Hills-trained Magical Memory.
A strong Irish contingent includes Tom Hogan's 2013 Sprint Cup winner Gordon Lord Byron, while a predictably strong hand for Aidan O'Brien features Air Force Blue.
There are a number of potential raiders from France and Gold-Fun could represent Hong Kong-based Richard Gibson.
