Big Mojo aims to defend Sprint Cup title as heavy ground looms at Haydock

A six-furlong Sprint Cup at Haydock is set for a challenging day on heavy ground, with eight horses entered. Defending winner Big Mojo is positioned to retain his crown, drawing a 9/1 price that reflects his previous success and favorable draw. Almeraq, fresh from victories in the Cathedral Stakes and the QEII Jubilee, is the market favourite, praised for his resilience after a fall at York.

Trainers Andrew Balding and Clive Cox have entered Marvelman and Coppull respectively, while Kind Of Blue and Paborus represent the Wathnan partnership. The Weekend Winners panel—Kate Tracey, Callum Helliwell and Declan Rix—debated each runner's form, ground suitability, and betting prospects ahead of the race, which will be streamed on the At The Races YouTube channel.
