The Group One Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday looks like an unusually open renewal, with just 4lb separating the top eight runners on Timeform’s ratings.

Minzaal, Naval Crown and Emaraaty Ana, last year’s winner, all have obvious chances but offer little value at single-figure odds, while Kinross has yet to win at this six-furlong trip. That could leave the way open for the improving Brad The Brief (3.30) to make a breakthrough at Group One level.
