The first race at Haydock on Saturday is the Grade Two Novices' Chase over 2m4f and Shakem Up'Arry for the Ben Pauling Team looks a big player.
The eight year old was a smart hurdler last term, finishing second in the Grade One Tolworth Hurdle to Metier back in January but he was always bought to be a chaser.
The Harry Redknapp owned gelding was sent chasing this term and although not making the best start when unseating his rider, he showed his true potential last time out when bolting up over two miles at Haydock on soft ground.
Stepping up in trip today will look to suit and having form at this track in tricky conditions could mean everything.
