'Look no further for the winner' - find out Charlie Mann's Coral Hurdle tip

It’s Betfair Chase day at Haydock. Who wins the big one?
Paul Binfield, Paddy Power My worry about Irish raider A Plus Tard is he often gets chinned first time out, so I’m opting for Bristol De Mai to bring the house down with a fourth success in this race.
