Frankie Dettori on his swansong season has been the man to follow so far in the big races and on Saturday at Haydock he has a great book of rides.
His first ride of the day comes on the favourite in the Class 2 Handicap over two miles with Carzola a horse who is chasing a four timer.
In the Silver Bowl Handicap he rides for his retain trainers John & Thady Gosden on board Covey with this race being one that this partnership have used frequently with well handicapped horses.
The first big race of the afternoon is the Group Two Sandy lane Stakes over 6f and Little Big Bear is the mount of Dettori for Aidan O'Brien, with the three year old dropping back to his preferred trip having been the champion juvenile at this distance.
Dettori then teams up with trainer Charles Hills in the Group Two Temple Stakes on Equilateral with the eight year old maybe not at the peak of his powers anymore but does hold some classy back form.
The Italian rider finishes off the afternoon on board Roman Dragon for Hugo Palmer with the gelding needing to improve.
The rider is in impressive form heading into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 27% for the last two weeks managing four winners from his last 15 rides.
