Find out which of Luke Morris’ rides has been “working really well” ahead of Haydock

The Classics at the Curragh this weekend are the main focus and I expect Galileo Gold to add to his win at Newmarket by winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas on Saturday.

From what I can see, the race is Galileo Gold’s to lose. The form is in the book for everyone to see as he won so well at Newmarket and it would take a lot based on that for Air Force Blue to reverse the placings with him. Any rain is going to help Galileo Gold as well.

As for the 1,000 Guineas, Now Or Never was very impressive when winning her trial and I think she’s the one to beat.

The other major event this week was Newcastle racing on the all-weather for the first time and I suspect I’ll be there plenty over the winter in particular when I go for a third all-weather jockeys’ title in a row.

I wasn’t riding there but it looks a nice, consistent track and a fair track too. The surface looks a little slow at present but those new surfaces always take some time to bed in. It’s going to be a big help for the northern trainers to have an all-weather track closer by.

Newcastle is the first track in Britain to have a straight mile on the all-weather and I think jockeys will learn how to adapt to riding the straight mile because you won’t want to be going too fast. I think it’ll be a stiff track on the all-weather so it’s a case of judging when to go.

I’m looking forward to trying the track out soon but my focus is on Haydock on Saturday and five rides with chances of providing me with winners:

2.30 Haydock – Moscato
He should be capable of being involved in the shake up. He’s fairly fit and working well and should run a nice race as a result. He’s a thorough stayer and I’ll look to ride him nice and positive as he’s a strong galloper.
