Exciting recruit A DIFFERENT KIND is fancied to take the Oakmere Homes 'Introductory' Hurdle (2.20) at Haydock.
Trainer Donald McCain is enjoying an excellent season and the four-year-old has already raced to a hat-trick of wins.
All of them came at Sedgefield, where he has impressively coped with the track's contours, different to many on the circuit.
After two tidy victories in bumpers, the selection pulled clear of the opposition to make a successful transition to hurdles.
Positively ridden, this small field will suit and as long as he handles softer ground, A Different Kind should be yet another winner for jockeys' championship leader Brian Hughes.
COCONUT SPLASH showed enough on his seasonal debut over fences to earn the vote in the Jewson Widnes Novices' Chase (1.50).
Given an encouraging re-introduction by jockey Adam Wedge, the six-year-old can take this before progressing up the ranks.
His second to the smart Chantry House reads especially well – and there will be no excuses facing just three rivals here.
Jewson Altrincham Veterans' Handicap Chase (2.50) runner BLAKLION is worth a small interest back against horses of similar age.
Although not the force of old, the 12-year-old shaped with some promise on his comeback run and there is more emphasis on stamina this time.
He has run well at the track in the past and has been given a chance by the handicapper to get in the shake-up off a mark of 131.
