Today’s tip comes from Haydock where a newcomer to chasing looks set to make an impressive debut. SHADRACK was very progressive last season has the scope to make a fine chaser. Trainer usually schools them for chasing debuts and it’s no surprise they are going straight into handicaps. The mark looks realistic and he should make a bold bid.

Today’s tip comes from Carlisle where a horse who fell at the first in the Grand National this year aims to show his true colours. Sue Smith’s HIMALAYAN TRAIL has great form on heavy ground and has impressed with his incredible stamina at home. Although he does not possess a real turn of pace, he should handle the testing conditions, which could be the undoing of most of his rivals.
