MANCHESTER, England, September 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Sponsors Betfred have already cut the price of Starspangledbanner for Saturday's Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock.

Spokesman Mark Pearson,

"As soon as Starspangledbanner was confirmed as a runner punters snapped up the 2/1 on offer and we've cut Aiden O'Brien's superstar to 7/4. After the shock in the Nunthorpe punters clearly think the step back up to 6 furlongs will suit. He's already cost us a few quid in this year's Golden Jubilee and the July Cup, and we wouldn't be surprised if Starspangledbanner is the anthem for punters on Saturday."

Colm O'Donoghue takes the mount as stable jockey Johnny Murtagh is riding at Leopardstown.

Second in the betting at 11/4 is the defending champion Regal Parade who comes to Haydock on the back of Group 1 success at Deauville in France.
