Jim Crowley: “I hope I can finish the day off with a winner on him”

Coral ambassador previews his Saturday rides at Haydock

Jim rides Maraakiz in the 13:50 at Haydock 

He won first time up at Chelmsford where he was really impressive actually. Unfortunately, he has been disappointing since then. He has been gelded now and he finished fourth at Leicester on his first start of the season.

This horse does not mind any rain in the ground. I’d say he would have a good solid chance in this race.

Jim rides Thibaan in the 14:25 at Haydock

He is by War Front and they tend to want top of the ground. His best form has been on Good To Firm so I am slightly concerned about Good to Soft, especially with 10st on his back.

He has only ever featured on fast ground or the all-weather. That said, he is a C&D winner and hopefully he can follow up from his recent success.

Jim rides Glesga Gal in the 15:35 at Haydock

She is not a bad filly who is by Lope De Vega. They love soft ground. If she can improve for wearing blinkers, she would have an each-way chance.

The trip is a little unknown as she has been winning over 7f. She does have a nice low weight on her back which will help.

Potapova is the most unexposed runner in the field. She is by Invincible Spirit and could be hard to beat.
