Haydock Park Race 5

Peter Marsh Hcp Chase (Premier Hcp)

Prize Money: $184,501

Multiple G1 course and distance winning ROYALE PAGAILLE (1) followed up by 2L during November taking the G1 Betfair Chase for a second time. This eleven-year-old has won the past two renewals of this contest to boost an excellent course record. Top selection. MR VANGO (7) enjoyed the stamina test when successful by 1.5L in the 5800m London National Handicap Chase last month at Sandown. Main danger. TRELAWNE (2) showed plenty of ability last month finishing 10L fourth contesting a 4800m premier handicap chase at Ascot. Found success at this venue prior. Claims. IWILLDOIT (3) stays very well and enjoys testing going. The previous Welsh Grand National winner was a good third in that Chepstow feature at Christmas. Not dismissed.
