  Ground conditions will dictate whether   Gustavus Weston   bids to become a rare Irish-trained winner of the Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock. Tom Hogan’s stable stalwart Gordon Lord Byron was the first Irish raider to land the Group One contest since Abergwaun 41 years earlier when striking gold in 2013 – and the race has been dominated by the British ever since.                       Andrew Nelis racing 

  Gustavus Weston   made virtually all to reclaim his title in the Rathasker Stud   Phoenix   Sprint Stakes at the   Curragh . Joe Murphy’s charge won the six-furlong event in 2019 and was sent off a 7-2 chance this time in the hands of Gary Carroll, with British raider Light Refrain the 6-4 favourite. Gustavus Weston was sharply away for Carroll and he was happy to settle on the front end with the five-year-old, who got into a nice rhythm in the early exchanges before pushing on for the finish.                  Andrew Nelis racing news
