1:00 Haydock – William Hill Cheltenham Non-Runner Money Back Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase
Adrimel is the classiest of the three runners but is inconsistent and his jumping remains a concern. He may struggle to concede weight to Shaman Du Berlais, who has had excuses on his last two starts and looks fairly treated.
Selection: Shaman Du Berlais @ 13/8
1:30 Haydock – William Hill Super Odds Victor Ludorum Juvenile Hurdle
It is tough to envisage anything other than a comfortable victory for Porticello. Gary Moore’s star juvenile bolted up by eight and a half lengths in a Grade 1 at Chepstow last time and faces inferior opponents on the testing ground he relishes.
Selection: Porticello @ 2/5
2:05 Haydock – William Hill Rendlesham Hurdle
Thomas Darby and Molly Ollys Wishes could be inconvenienced by the conditions and Top Ville Ben can serve it up to both without a penalty. He refound his mojo back over hurdles last time and boasts figures of 13F11 on heavy.
Selection: Top Ville Ben @ 8/1
2:40 Haydock – William Hill Grand National Trial Handicap Chase
It was a tough ask for Secret Reprieve running in the Welsh Grand National on his seasonal return and he didn’t shape badly in fifth. He will be fitter now and off a 2lb lower mark, this unexposed young stayer is handicapped to go close.
Selection: Secret Reprieve @ 3/1
3:15 Haydock – Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle
The booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye on Bill Baxter, who boasted smart bumper form last season and has taken a while to warm up over hurdles. He looks a stayer worth following off a potentially lenient mark of 119.
Selection: Bill Baxter @ 9/1
3:50 Haydock – Albert Bartlett Prestige Novices’ Hurdle
Hillcrest might not appreciate 3m½f on heavy ground at this stage of his career and Scipion is a worthy opponent in receipt of 5lb. He looked to be crying out for further when a staying-on third in a Grade 2 at Warwick last time and is improving quickly.
Selection: Scipion @ 13/2
4:25 Haydock – Pertemps Network Walrus Open Hunters’ Chase
Bob And Co is 8lb clear of the second highest-rated runner in this field and should get the job done. He was an impressive 17-length winner of this last season in a deeper running and can tee up a tilt at the Cheltenham Festival.
Selection: Bob And Co @ 8/15
