We narrow down the field to help you pick the winner of the Group 3 contest live on ITV this Saturday at Haydock racecourse
4.00 HAYDOCK: John Of Gaunt Stakes
DIAL Em for a win in the John Of Gaunt Stakes.
It’s a tight call but EMMAUS just edges out Tabarrak in the final reckoning.
This may not be a handicap but the official ratings still matter a lot.
No horse lower than 108 has managed to win in the past 10 years.
So that means cheerio this time to Mr Owen, Larchmont Lad, Muntadab and Lahore who all fall short on that score.
That’s cut the field in half at one stroke.
We will overlook the claims of likely favourite Dutch Connection because six-year-old's have a shocking record in the race in the past decade.

None have come out on top from that age group despite 23 having a go.
The three still standing — D’bai, Emmaus and Tabarrak all tick plenty of boxes when it comes to pinpointing the winner.
Trends tip for the John Of Gaunt Stakes
4.00 Haydock - Emmaus: 'Fits all the trends!'
They are all the right age at four or five and have already tasted success over the 7f trip.
Each of the trio have had a relatively recent run and they have all won earlier in the campaign.
Eight of the past 10 winners of this have come from the first three in the betting and it looks like D’bai could come up short on that score.
Of the other two, the narrow nod goes to Emmaus who was an impressive winner at Leicester last time.
