Verdict

The mudlark Silva Eclipse (runner-up in this race last year from a 5lb lower mark) merits much respect having out-battled Coole Cody in desperate conditions at Uttoxeter (2m7½f) in November. Furthermore, he went down all guns blazing in an earlier tussle with the course specialist Closing Ceremony over C&D in January. With past Haydock form figures of 222 (beaten a combined total of 3L) he deserves a change of fortune at this track. However, the suspicion is that he'll face a formidable opponent in the shape of the handicap debutant BIG SHARK who is 2-2 under rules since joining Philip Hobbs out of the Irish point-to-point scene for £33,000.
