Saturday Tips at Curragh and Haydock – Dan James Racing

Field Of Gold’s performances to date indicate a high level of consistency and class. His ability to perform well in top-tier races over a mile makes him a strong contender for the Irish 2,000 Guineas. With Colin Keane, a six-time Irish champion jockey, taking the reins, he can provide another top-class success for Juddmonte.

After undergoing a wind operation in February, Big Mojo made a successful seasonal debut by winning the Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes at Ascot in April 30 under jockey Tom Marquand. With Marquand unavailable, William Buick has been booked to ride Big Mojo in the Sandy Lane Stakes and that’s a top-class replacement.

He enters this with a strong profile, combining proven Group-level success, recent winning form, and a competitive official rating. He’s adaptable and consistent and he can give Mick Appleby another nice victory.

Dixieland Blues presents a compelling betting opportunity in the Betfred Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock. Dixieland Blues secured a decisive win at Southwell over a mile on April 27, demonstrating his capability to handle the distance effectively. With a career record of three runs: one win and two second-place finishes, he has yet to finish outside the top two, indicating a reliable and competitive type.

Trained by the adaptable Simon & Ed Crisford and ridden by the promising Harry Davies, this three-year-old colt is a strong contender in this competitive field.
