Kingsmark Haydock run depends on ground

Connections of Kingsmark are praying for soft ground to allow the grey to take his chance in the Tommy Whittle Chase at Haydock Park on Saturday.

The 10-year-old, trained by Martin Todhunter, would be on a retrieving mission as he finished a distant last of three to Swansea Bay and Hussard Collonges in the Edward Hanmer Memorial Chase at the Merseyside track last month.
