Over at Haydock there are a number of high-profile horses looking to stake their claims for Aintree in the Unibet Grand National Trial Handicap Chase (3.15). The Paul Nicholls-trained Truckers Lodge heads the early betting, with Elegant Escape, Ballyoptic and Yala Enki among the 23 entries.

The Grade 2 Rendlesham Hurdle is another exciting race at the Merseyside track, while the Triumph Hurdle picture could become a lot clearer after the Victor Ludorum.
