12:45 Haydock — Race Preview & Tips
We're tipping Serious Chat in the 12:45 at Haydock — a Hurdle race with 15 runners on Good going.
A look at the form — 1/2151721- — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.
Donald McCain has been in fine form and teams up with Theo Gillard, a combination that demands respect.
These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.
Key angle: Won last time out.
An official mark of 132 looks workable in this grade.
For each-way purposes, Al Sayah merits consideration as a place alternative.
