Oli Bell: Saturday best bets for Sandown, Haydock and Leicester

This old favourite likes Haydock and looks on a reasonable handicap mark, so he could go well at a nice price if he comes on for his pleasing seasonal reappearance at Thirsk.

Ran well in the Topham on the back of Newbury success and could well end the season on a high for the new champion trainer Paul Nicholls.

Sir Michael Stoute's Commonwealth Cup winner looks to have been found a good opportunity for his seasonal reappearance and he goes well fresh.

Reunited with Bryony Frost after a break and wind surgery and his bold-jumping front-running style should be suited to this track, in theory.

Looked a horse on the up after an emphatic win at Kempton in November, so it is with hope that a break, wind surgery and the return to good ground can help him rediscover that form.
