Following an impressive display in the Wolferton Stakes in June, the William Haggas-trained Addeybb was a well-backed favourite to follow up in last month’s Sky Bet York Stakes, but had to make do with the runner-up spot behind Mark Johnston’s Elarqam.
Encountering his favoured testing conditions once again on Merseyside, Addeybb was the 11-10 favourite for a 10-furlong contest rendered a little less competitive by the withdrawal of the prolific Wissahickon and tracked his chief market rival Raise You from the off.
As the pace increased, Addeybb gradually asserted his authority halfway up the home straight and found plenty for pressure in the hands of Richard Kingscote to prevail by two and a quarter lengths.
Pondus beat Raise You to the runner-up spot.
Haggas told PA: “I was delighted the rain came as he is a very hard horse to beat in that very heavy ground.”
Addeybb was cut to 14-1 for the Juddmonte International at York on August 21 by MansionBet .
“I would think the Juddmonte is very unlikely, but we’ll see. I think that ground is important to him,” the trainer.
“We have him in a few sexy races at the backend of the year.”
