Recent Haydock winner Coe could return to the Merseyside track for the Blue Square Gold Cup on February 14.

Grand National-winning trainer Gordon Elliott sent out his first winner on another big stage as Newton Bridge raced to success under his brother Joey at Cheltenham today.

There were joyous scenes in the winner’s enclosure after Al Eile’s victory in the Commhoist Logistics Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock, the highlight of a Timmy Murphy 98-1 four-timer.
