What time is the Grand National Trial at Haydock today?
The feature race at Haydock today is the Oddschecker Grand National Trial with a massive £50,000 up for grabs.
Leading the betting at 4/1 is last year's winner, Yeah Man. Trained by Gavin Cromwell, he’s aiming for back-to-back victories despite being a 11lbs higher in the handicap this year. However, with Royale Pagaille’s top weight, Yeah Man actually carries 4lbs less.
Jubilee Express looks to build on his Welsh Grand National runner-up finish, while Val Dancer, fresh off a win in that race, is aiming for a hat-trick.
Royale Pagaille, partnered by current Jump Jockeys’ Championship leader Sean Bowen, seeks redemption after a recent setback and goes for a sixth Haydock win.
Fontaine Collonges is chasing a second Haydock win this season after claiming the Peter Marsh Handicap Chase, and Galia Des Liteaux, who finished eighth in last year’s Grand National will also be competing for the Skeltons.
