Saturday's punting pointers

Roman Flight bidding for Stratford hat-trick

Roger Varian and Paul Hanagan are a combination worth following at Haydock Park. The pair operate at a 53 per cent strike-rate at the venue and bid to enhance their record with Majdool in the 5.20.

Marengo saves his best for Chepstow with three wins from five course starts. Two of which came over Saturday's trip so he has ideal conditions to record another success in the 8.50.

Roman Flight has won the last two renewals of 7.05 at Stratford and has a fair chance of landing the hat-trick off a 1lb higher mark than for last year's triumph.

Meshardal is an interesting runner for Ruth Carr in Haydock's 4.45. The six-year-old is 2lb lower than for his last success and should put up a better display than his reappearance now back over 6f.
