Sirvino really caught my eye on his comeback and looks to have conditions in his favour to score in the 3.25 at Haydock.
David Barron’s gelding was a revealtion last season, winning five on the bounce including the John Smith's Cup at York.
He disappointed on his final start in the Cambridgeshire, but something was clearly amiss that day and he was not seen out again until reappearing in a listed contest at Pontefract 11 days ago.
Held up at the back of the field he got outpaced turning for home but then stayed on really well under tender handling to get to within 4 ½ lengths of Rio De La Plata who runs in the Group 3 contest earlier on today's card.
That run should have tuned him up perfectly for today's contest, and his ability to act on soft ground is another plus factor.
*Sirvino is currently a top priced 9-1
