Four best bets for our pundit on Saturday including Definitly Red in the Peter Marsh Handicap Chase at Haydock.

Ballymoy

Switches back to hurdles in a race he won last year and only two pounds higher this time around. Handles testing ground and clearly goes well at the track.

Definitly Red

Class act in this race and ran well over the big National fences in the Becher. Being aimed at the Aintree spectactular in April but will run well here despite top weight.

Allysson Monterg

Ran well when last seen at Cheltenham almost 12 months ago, finishing fourth to Frodon in the Cotswold Chase. Has had wind op and on attractive mark for his return.

Un De Sceaux

Won this race three times and showed he's no back-number when shaking Defi Du Seuil up in Tingle Creek. Can take revenge in testing ground he loves.
