Haydock an option for King

Baltic King put himself bang in the frame for the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock next weekend after winning the totepool Beverley Bullet Sprint at the East Yorkshire venue.

Hughie Morrison’s six-year-old finished third and second in this Listed contest in 2004 and 2005 respectively and put that experience to good use by storming to a head verdict from Pivotal’s Princess.
