A change of codes but based on current prices Bristol De Mai is a strong bet at 7/2 for the Betfair chase in the hope/expectation that the Haydock ground is like it usually is at that time of year

I find it hard to believe ante post fav A Plus Tard will come over if Haydock is bottomless and Nicholls has been quoted as saying the biggest mistake he made with Clan Des Obeaux last year was running him at Haydock, as he left the King George behind there.

Royal Pagaille would be a danger if turning up but taking on BDM here will be vastly different to winning last season's Peter Marsh and he's got to put the Gold Cup disappointment behind him now fully out of novice status, albeit he apparently had excuses there (lost shoes, finished lame etc)
