COULEURS' CODE

HAITI COULEURS (3.00) is fancied to hit the headlines in the £200,000 Betfair Chase at Haydock Park for Rebecca Curtis and Sean Bowen.

The eight-year-old is his trainer's best horse for some time and it is hoped he could soon be appearing in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

He will have to show up on Merseyside to be a real contender, but it is doubtful he has as much to find with favourite Grey Dawning as the ratings imply.

A dour stayer, Haiti Couleurs kept up the gallop in the National Hunt Chase and can give Curtis her first Grade One winner since 2020.

Handstands is respected for Ben Pauling's team, although he will have to jump better to really threaten the top two.
