Francisan and recent Cumberland Plate victor Lexi’s Boy both sit at the head of the Old Newton Cup market at 6/1 with William Hill.
The trio of Cry Fury, Easy Terms and Number Theory all come in next at 8/1 in what looks to be a competitive renewal at Haydock.
William Hill spokeswoman Lucy Rhodes said “After the weekend’s gamble on Ile De Re, all eyes will be on Lexi’s Boy for Donald McCain as the trainer bids for another top Flat racing prize”
