Haydock

Tomorrow, ChaseClass 23m1f

Lots with chances but GRAND GESTE rates the pick of the weights (despite being 2 lb out of the handicap) on the back of a fine second at Newcastle and can go one better now to continue the fine form of Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith. Last year's runner-up Jacks Parrot (second choice) looks primed for another bold showing after a recent spin over hurdles at Bangor, while Top of The Bill and Saladins Son came home 1-2 over C&D last time and seem sure to have a say too in a cracking Tommy Whittle.

    Verdict
    Improved switched to Anthony Honeyball last season, scoring three times, and he ran well on his seasonal return when 7 lengths second of 10 to Top of The Bill over C&D four weeks ago. Enjoys a 9 lb pull in the weights here so is very much one to consider.

    Verdict
    Low-mileage winning hurdler/chaser who shaped well after 11 months off when second of 15 in handicap chase at Cork (21.2f, soft) 27 days ago. Up 7 lb but this Irish challenger must enter calculations.

    Verdict
    Has proved temperamental but he signed off last term with success at Ffos Las and returned from 8 months off with a comfortable all-the-way victory over C&D last month. Hiked up 9 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

    Goes particularly well here and took this prize in 2023. Dropped away quickly from 3 out when seventh of 10 to Top of The Bill in handicap chase over C&D 28 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.

    A three-time chase winner (at up to 3m2f) in 2023/24. Only twice raced since but he posted a good second of 8 in handicap chase at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) 20 days ago. 7 lb out of the weights here but promising conditional booked.

    Lightly-raced sort but he's won over both hurdles and fences and returned from 10 months off with a respectable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Bangor (24.1f, heavy) 21 days ago, despite making mistakes. No forlorn hope with cheekpieces added.
