The Timeform Jury Stakes is the feature at Haydock on Saturday
"Regal Parade enjoyed one of his finest hours at this track in 2009 when winning the Sprint Cup and he should take a deal of beating..."
Two-times winner Main Aim doesn't feature among the final decs for the Timeform Jury Stakes but it looks a very strong third renewal nonetheless, with a dual Group 1 winner standing out....
Beacon Lodge was lightly raced in 2010 but showed he was no back number when landing C&D listed event on his seasonal return. More likely to be needed to follow up, but clearly in the mix for a place.
Doncaster Rover was better than ever last year, running well in some competitive sprints before winning Newmarket listed race. Below par both in Dubai and in similar races at home so far in 2011, however.
High Standing won the Wokingham in 2009 and as good as ever last year with win in 5f listed event here in May. Thereabouts in group company after, so clearly disappointing at Leicester on return. Blinkers tried.
Himalya produced cracking placed efforts in some good races over 6f/7f last term, including in Group 2 at Doncaster. Below form in 2 starts this year, however, and remains without a win since 2-y-o debut.
Inler confirmed early promise when winning 7f event at Doncaster in October, and showed similar form when fifth in Abernant at Newmarket on return. Fragile, though, and latest run a disappointment.
Kakatosi progressed well in 2010, racking up 4-timer over 7f. Has returned in similar vein with second places here (listed race) and at York (to Chachamaidee) and should give running again up in class.
Regal Parade is another to thrive for David Nicholls and landed second Group 1 in Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last year. Built on return when just touched off by Delegator at York and stands out now.
Shakespearean won listed race at Epsom and 7f Group 2 at Newbury in 2010. Mustered only 3 starts since that career-high point, however, and now in cheekpieces/tongue tie after latest flop back in early-March.
The Cheka is a smart performer who's given excellent account of himself in 2 starts so far this year, runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh (7f, heavy) and Windsor listed race (1m). Another good effort on the cards.
Timeform 1-2-3
1. Regal Parade
2. Beacon Lodge
3. Kakatosi
Timeform's View: Regal Parade enjoyed one of his finest hours at this track in 2009 when winning the Sprint Cup and he should take a deal of beating against a largely suspect and inferior bunch after his fine second at York. A couple of the more realistic form dangers have their well-being to prove, so the main resistance may come from recent C&D 1-2 Beacon Lodge and Kakatosi.

A highly informative card in prospect at Newmarket on Friday, where the ten furlong handicap for three-year-olds looks very competitive......
Timeform go through the field for this very strong looking Group 3......
Some of the fasted juvenile fillies seen out so far are on show in the Hillary Needler Trophy, which often has a major impact on the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot......
