Nothing of great interest for me, given the standard of racing, but two races do tie in the likely fancied horses.
They are:
Haydock 5.35: GOLDTREK and DAHAAM
and
Salisbury 7.40: CAPTAIN JOHN NIXON, DYNAMIC DRIVE and LODIN.
What connects them is the race won by Lovers Causeway at Chester and Mons Calpe winning at Windsor.
The former had DAHAAM 3rd, CAPTAIN JOHN NIXON 5th, and DYNAMIC DRIVE 8th(but at 5/1 note).
The latter had LODIN 2nd and GOLDTREK 3rd.
But to confuse the issue a bit, the Windsor race was the quickest of the day, but of less quality(about 8lbs less on my figures), whereas the Chester race was more competitive, it only produced a reasonable time for the grade but on a high class card.
Furthermore, today's race at Salisbury is weaker, with Captain John Nixon having an OR 0f 83, but is top-weight and top-rated. Whereas the Haydock race has a bigger field and a couple at the top with OR's of 85
Taking an average down as far as Goldtrek = 80 from 11 runners at Haydock, but only 76 from 10 at Salisbury - God, I must be bored with today's racing to spend so much time on a couple of Class 4 events??? And yes, all four races were/are Class4.
So how will it work out? Well there is no guarantee the winner will come from the two mentioned at Haydock, but the higher class would favour DAHAAM in my opinion.Down 1lb too.
Does that then favour the other two from that at Salisbury ... Yes and No. They both come from stables who like to have a flutter, so watch for late market moves regards to them. However, Lodin represents the Cumani/Fallon duo, and is running in similar class as at Windsor with an excellent time figure behind it. Interesting? The winner should come from that trio, but unless there is a real sustained gamble on either of the others, I would stick with LODIN.
Have a good day.
