1	7 1st (7) (4/1 -60%) Mr Vango		4 4/1(-60%)																															(7) Mr Vango 4/1, Has quickly made up into a very useful chaser and made a winning return in 3m4f handicap chase at Sandown last month. Races off a 5 lb higher mark here but he scored cosily there and is a likely player. Won the London National latest and this lightly raced 9yo could have more left in the tank.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -50%) Iwilldoit		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Iwilldoit 12/1, Welsh National winner in 2021 and this veteran returned from 10 months off with a creditable third of 15 in that race at Chepstow (30.6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt again here. Now 12 but fine third in the Welsh National three weeks ago and he's a possible player.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 +56%) Richmond Lake		7 7/1(+56%)																															(6) Richmond Lake 7/1, Had a prolific period in 2023 when completing a four-timer and back on song this winter when in the frame at Aintree in Grand Sefton and 2m4f handicap. Not ruled out stepping back up in trip. Stamina to prove but there are stayers in his pedigree; in good form & effective on heavy.
4	2 4th (2) (11/4 +39%) Trelawne		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(2) Trelawne 11/4, Low-mileage 9-y-o who resumed with success in 2m5f conditions event here in November. Backed it up with a solid fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Ascot (23.8f, soft) 28 days ago so he merits consideration. Won graduation chase here on reappearance and respected now back on testing ground.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -33%) Imagine		10 10/1(-33%)																															(4) Imagine 10/1, Looked an exciting chasing prospect when successful at Fairyhouse and Punchestown (Grade 2) last November. Subsequently sold out of Gordon Elliott's yard for 320,000 euros but pulled up on yard debut in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November. This low-mileage sort remains capable of better. Grade 2 novice chase winner last season but over 2m; pulled up on stable/seasonal debut.
8	8 |U| (8) (12/1 +52%) Bill Baxter		12 12/1(+52%)																															(8) Bill Baxter 12/1, Winner of the Topham at Aintree in 2023. Lost his way over fences subsequently but better signs back hurdling this winter, fifth in 3m Chepstow handicap. 9 lb out of the handicap here though. Won the Topham in April 2023 but 0-9 since and 9lb out of the handicap today.
1	1 |PU| (1) (5/2 -11%) Royale Pagaille		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(1) Royale Pagaille 5/2, Mud lover who took his record here to 5-6 when seeing off Grey Dawning by 2 lengths to land a second Betfair Chase in November. Also bidding for a hat-trick in this event (scored in 2021 and 2022) and the one to beat again. Concedes lots of weight all round but phenomenal record here; has won the last 2 runnings.
5	5 |PU| (5) (66/1 -120%) Chambard		66 66/1(-120%)																															(5) Chambard 66/1, Won the Kim Muir at 2022 Cheltenham Festival and and added another valuable handicap to his CV in the Becher at Aintree over a year ago. Hasn't fired subsequently, including on return at Cheltenham. Won the Becher Chase in December 2023 but well below best on his four runs in 2024.

14:30 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 1) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Royale Pagaille has won the last two runnings of this and arrives on a high after landing his second Betfair Chase, proving himself a true Haydock specialist. A mark of 166 isn't insurmountable - he struck in 2022 off just 3lb lower - but MR VANGO is in receipt of almost two stone and in conditions that will play to his strengths, that could prove crucial. Iwilldoit also stays all day and ran yet another Welsh National cracker over Christmas. In contrast, Trelawne and Imagine have stamina to prove.

Venetia Williams' top-class chaser ROYALE PAGAILLE has built up a fine record round here and earns a confident vote to follow up his Betfair Chase heroics and complete a fine hat-trick in this event. Sandown-scorer Mr Vango remains quite unexposed and could emerge as the main danger in receipt of stacks of weight, with Iwilldoit, Trelawne and Imagine all worthy of consideration for minor honours.

The 11yo ROYALE PAGAILLE (nap) is conceding a stone or more to his rivals but is hard to oppose given his tremendous record at Haydock.

1	4 1st (4) (10/1 +38%) Uncle Bert		10 10/1(+38%)																															(4) Uncle Bert 10/1, Useful hurdler who posted a career-best effort when adding to his tally at Bangor (19.6f) last March. Failed to convince in trio of starts over fences this season but looked more at home back over hurdles and duly ran up to best when third at Aintree (20f, soft) recently. Considered. Did not prove his suitability for this sort of trip on two previous attempts.
2	10 2nd (10) (13/2 +46%) Kilbarry Hill		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(10) Kilbarry Hill 13/2, Two wins in November, got off the mark in 6-runner novice hurdle at Hereford before claiming a walk over. Another step forward when scoring on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) last month, rallying to lead late on. Lightly-raced sort represents red-hot stable so fancied to be in the mix. Battled back in major way to win handicap debut at Uttoxeter (extended 2m7f, soft) latest.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -13%) Punta Del Este		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(2) Punta Del Este 9/2, Dual winner last season who posted good third on Carlisle return (20f) and was left with a lot to do when creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.9f, soft) 8 weeks ago. Mark unchanged and he should be in the shake up with the tongue tie discarded. Two of his poor performances last term were his only two attempts at this sort of trip.
4	11 4th (11) (5/1 +29%) Tiny Tetley		5 5/1(+29%)																															(11) Tiny Tetley 5/1, Opened his account in a 21.5f Exeter maiden hurdle last February and showed a good attitude to record a first handicap success in 6-runner event at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Not out of things from 4 lb higher. Up 4lb since Taunton win but a slog should suit and he's from a stable in blinding form.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 +25%) Tune In A Box		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(5) Tune In A Box 9/2, Most progressive switched to handicaps last season, making it 4 wins from 5 starts when taking big-field contest at Punchestown (19.5f) last April. Good fourth of 16 in a warm race at Cheltenham (21f) in November and did all he could back at 3m when close second at Chepstow just over 3 weeks ago. In good form and goes well over 3m in the mud but he looks more exposed than some of these.
6th	12 6th (12) (12/1 +0%) Bushypark		12 12/1(+0%)																															(12) Bushypark 12/1, Proved more miss than hit on the back of a C&D victory 13 months ago but responded well to fitting of cheekpieces when runner-up on final start of last season at Kelso in April. Low-key return to action at Lingfield last month and having been supported, fell heavily mid-race over C&D since. 11yo; 3-3 over hurdles at this track before he fell four out here 19 days ago.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 +43%) Inox Allen		8 8/1(+43%)																															(6) Inox Allen 8/1, Scored twice in a light campaign over hurdles last term. Off 8 months and resumed with a promising third of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) on his chasing debut just under 8 weeks ago, closing up late. Quickly switches back to hurdles. Back hurdling after a creditable chase debut and he's far from fully exposed at this trip.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/2 +45%) Good Look Charm		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(9) Good Look Charm 11/2, Fairly useful hurdler who enhanced her good record fresh when winning 8-runner handicap (9/2) under this pilot at Sandown (19.8f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. 5 lb rise fair, and she can be expected to go well again back up in trip. Clearcut win at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) under Chad Bament last time; stays an extended 2m7f.
7	7 |PU| (7) (16/1 -14%) Young Jack		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Young Jack 16/1, Maiden point winner who scored on his second start over hurdles at Newcastle (2½m, heavy) last February. Built on decent return when scoring at Kelso last month but let down by his jumping and also found to have suffered from an irregular heartbeat 3 weeks later. Must bounce back. Won at Kelso (extended 2m6f, soft) but he flopped over that same C&D three weeks later.
8	8 |PU| (8) (28/1 +30%) Fonzerelli		28 28/1(+30%)																															(8) Fonzerelli 28/1, Listed novice hurdle winner at Doncaster in March 2022. Very lightly raced since but she did shape as if retaining ability when sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (25f) last month. Should strip fitter for that first outing in 8 months and the market should be a good indicator (66/1 on return). All her noteworthy form was in the 2021-22 season; has raced only twice since (last year).
1	1 |PU| (1) (33/1 +0%) Bold Endeavour		33 33/1(+0%)																															(1) Bold Endeavour 33/1, Very useful hurdler and chaser at his best for Nicky Henderson in recent seasons. Rejoined Laura Morgan after 6 months off when tailed off in handicap hurdle at Aintree on return and failed to come on for that with his usual headgear discarded at Market Rasen since. Cheekpieces back on. Big question mark over current form having suffered three heavy defeats this term.

15:05 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The Philip Hobbs and Johnson White team have been in excellent form over the past couple of weeks and TINY TETLEY appears capable of defying a 4lb rise for his recent Taunton success. The seven-year-old displayed a likeable attitude on that occasion and gets the vote with the potential for further improvement. Tune In A Box was denied close home at Chepstow over the Festive period and is respected along with Punta Del Este.

Cases can be made for any number of these, but the suggestion is GOOD LOOK CHARM, who enhanced her good record fresh when winning under this pilot at Sandown 6 weeks ago and Anthony Honeyball's mare can take her tally to five wins from 12 starts in this sphere. Punta del Este has picked up from where he left off last season, so he can provide most resistance, with Kilbarry Hill and Uncle Bert another couple worth considering, too.

From a yard in superb form, TINY TETLEY is a second-season hurdler who will be well suited by this test. It's not an easy call, however.

1	1 1st (1) (11/1 -83%) Prairie Wolf		11 11/1(-83%)																															(1) Prairie Wolf 11/1, Made a fine start over fences last season, winning 3 times in handicaps from 6 races. Struggled for form at start of current campaign, but was in share of third when unseating 3 out at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) last time. Now only 1 lb above last winning mark. Course winner who was in contention when unseating at Carlisle last month; possible player.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -60%) Prince Quali		4 4/1(-60%)																															(4) Prince Quali 4/1, Successful over hurdles/fences in France and ended last season on the up for current yard, landing back-to-back handicap chases at Chepstow (both at 16f). Stepped up on return when third at Ascot (18.8f, soft) in December and he's not taken lightly. Fair third on both starts this term and perhaps today's more testing ground will be a plus.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +27%) Dr T J Eckleburg		4 4/1(+27%)																															(7) Dr T J Eckleburg 4/1, With reappearance run behind him, proved better than ever when scoring at this C&D (soft) in November, form boosted by the runner-up winning next time. Ran at least as well when second at Chepstow 22 days ago and he's a major player back here. A win (C&D) and a good second from his last two starts and he could be in the mix.
4	5 4th (5) (11/4 +63%) Xcitations		2.75 11/4(+63%)																															(5) Xcitations 11/4, Successful at Sandown on second start last season but hasn't managed to match that level since. However, showed the benefit of his reappearance when third at this C&D (heavy) in December, so he's one to note from his easing mark. Step back in right direction when third over C&D last time and he's not discounted.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/2 +17%) The Famous Five		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(6) The Famous Five 5/2, Dual winner over hurdles and confirmed promise of his chasing debut when winning 5-runner handicap at Newbury (16.4f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago, value for extra having had to overcome a mistake 5 out. Respected with further progress to come. Narrow win at Newbury on second chase start; there's room for improvement in his jumping.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -57%) Escapeandevade		22 22/1(-57%)																															(3) Escapeandevade 22/1, Took his form up a notch with cheekpieces enlisted last term, bringing up the hat-trick at Kelso (17.1f) in March. Disputing the lead when unseating rider 3 out at Wetherby on return, but hasn't been in the same form in his 2 starts since. Bumped into highly progressive Skelton winner when 16l 2nd last time; could make bold bid.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -75%) Netywell		14 14/1(-75%)																															(2) Netywell 14/1, Wide-margin winner of 4-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) last season and also successful on next 2 starts. Third back at this venue on his reappearance, but was reported to be lame when pulled here 4 weeks ago. Bounce back called for. Pulled up over C&D last time (lame); won over C&D on heavy last term and could bounce back.

15:40 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

THE FAMOUS FIVE won at Newbury, despite his jumping not being particularly fluent, and it may well be the return to more testing ground will see him in a better light. Dr T J Eckleburg won over C&D on his penultimate start before running with credit to be second at Chepstow. He is capable of another decent showing, while others to note include Prince Quali and Prairie Wolf.

DR T J ECKLEBURG showed improved form with a smooth-travelling success at this C&D in November, before bumping into a good prospect at Chepstow last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways returned to this venue. He can see off the challenge of The Famous Five, who should have more to offer on only his third chase start, with Prince Quali also in the mix.

The unexposed Newbury winner The Famous Five is respected but PRINCE QUALI could appreciate the return to testing conditions.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
