Verdict
Cairn Island showed no improvement for the drop down to today’s trip at Haydock and another chance goes to MISS NAY NEVER. The latter failed to figure in Listed company at York last time but finished third at Thirsk on her earlier debut behind a subsequent winner and should go close back at this level. Love Of Zoffany can include a Group 2 winner among his winning relatives and is preferred to Readman of the newcomers though Kats Bob is interesting given his dam is a half-sister to 2000 Guineas hero Kameko.
