Outlander to feel at home at Haydock this afternoon

ALL eyes will be on the meeting at Haydock Park in what are sure to be atrocious and stamina-sapping conditions.

That has led to the absence of Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Sizing John in the big race, the Betfair Chase (3.00), and he is likely to go straight to the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day at Kempton Park.

With Cue Card seemingly on the wane and Bristol De Mai massively underpriced, I fancy we will see trainer Gordon Elliot take the bull by the horns and land this Grade One prize with Outlander (nap).
