With Tony McCoy still on the sidelines, Barry Geraghty has comes in for the ride on Taquin Du Seuil in the Betfair Chase tomorrow.
Jonjo O'Neill's JLT Novices' Chase winner is the potential rising star in the Haydock line-up and put a moderate Newton Abbot comeback behind him when second in the Charlie Hall.
"He's obviously a very good horse. He ran well in Wetherby. I think a drop of rain would probably do him no harm," said Geraghty.
"He's a horse that seems to cope well with soft ground. It will be a high-class race with Paul Nicholls' horse (Silviniaco Conti) and Cue Card and Dynaste and everything in it. It's going to be a hot race.
"I rode him in a novice hurdle when he was second to My Tent Or Yours at Ascot, so I've an idea how he goes, but I've seen plenty of him over the years."
