Haydock Races Tip: Who’s Shirl
Winner of her last three starts over six furlongs she is progressing faster than the handicapper can keep up.
There is quite a lot of deadwood in the 4.05 at Haydock making the big field not as daunting as at first glance. Who’s Shirl is a horse you definitely want on your side. A winner in her last three starts at today’s six furlong trip she looks most progressive.
Her last win was in a class above today’s race, so this level should be within her capabilities. She won at Pontefract despite having to race five horses wide around the bend, showing great resolution to get up on the line.
She returned to a racecourse this year at Thirsk over seven furlongs, a trip that stretches her stamina. Hindered by the soft going that day, he trainer stated she would be better on fast ground. Despite these setbacks she finished an eye-catching seventh, weaving in the straight to get a clear run. She can be upgraded for the performance, and back to her optimum trip she should go well.
