The going remains soft (good to soft in places on the Hurdle course) at Haydock, which stages an exciting running of the Grade 1 Betfair Chase (3.00), featuring dual King George winner Clan Des Obeaux.

He remains solid in the market at 2-1 behind Lostintranslation, the 6-4 favourite who is bidding to win the race for the second time. Bristol De Mai, winner of this race in 2017 and 2018 and runner-up last year, is weak in the betting at 3-1 to gain revenge.

There has been support for Bellshill, who has been trimmed to 18-1 (from 20s) on his debut for Sandy Thomson. The ten-year-old twice won at the top level for Willie Mullins, including the Irish Gold Cup.

Due to the going, I K Brunel is a non-runner in the Grade 3 Betfair Exchange Stayers' Handicap Hurdle (2.25). The market is headed by Irish-trained contenders Relegate and The Jam Man, both at 5-1.

The going has been changed to soft at Ascot (from soft, good to soft in places), where 6-4 favourite Laurina makes her first start for trainer Paul Nicholls in the the Grade 2 Coral Hurdle (2.40).
