Al Eile takes Haydock chance

AL EILE will take his chance in the Commhoist Logistics Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock today despite trainer John Queally’s concerns about the ground.

“We’ve got a big concern about the ground but we had nowhere else to go really,” said Queally. “We’re a little bit in the dark but he’s got to run somewhere.

“Timmy Murphy knows the horse and if he’s not going in the ground he’s not going to flog the guts out of him. He’s there to win but tomorrow is not his long-term objective. It would be hard to be optimistic.”
