1.45 Mildmay Novice Chase
Inothewayurthinking 🐎 13/8
Only one winner of the past 13 renewals of this race has been rated below 152. Inothewayurthinking trampled all over his rivals in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. Talked about as a potential 160 rated horse so ought to do the business today.
Broadway Boy 🐎 10-1 (Each way)
Obviously it’s not ideal having two selections in this race however here we have an experienced chaser who has plenty of experience on soft ground over 3 miles. Fresh after missing Cheltenham and the Yards horses are running well. Major Place claims.
2.20 Handicap Hurdle
Kateira 9/2 🐎
Always respect Graded form in a handicap. Katira has been well laid out for this race. Runner up to Irish Point over todays course and distance last year is by far the best from on offer. Bet of the day.
2.55 Novice Hurdle
Mystical Power 🐎
Wins easily, unfortunately the ground has taken out a couple of contenders.
3.30 Melling Chase
Jonbon 🐎 11/8
Seven of the past 11 winners were second season chasers. Jonbon uncharacteristically made a bad error last time out, but he was only just held at the finish. Today’s longer distance will no doubt suit. His Aintree record stacks up massively.
4.05 Topham Handicap
Celebre D’Allen (Each way) 33/1 🐎
Lurking amongst the bottom of the market, this horse has plenty of form over this course against some quality opponents. Placing in Decembers Beacher Chase over heavy ground is eye catching to say the least. He just weakened late on that day, perhaps today’s shorter trip will suit.
Shakemupharry 13/2 🐎
Jumps so well and clearly has a fantastic engine. He’s only been hiked up 6lbs in the weights after Cheltenham success, he likedto race keenly which works around Aintree.
4.40 Sefton Novice Hurdle
Shanagh Bob 7/2 🐎
Nicky Henderson has a fine record in this race. He has trained 3 of the past 9 winners. Shanagh Bob ticks a lot of boxes in terms of race trends. The past 11 winners have won a point to point or a bumper. He is Arriving here fresh having skipped Cheltenham. Major player.
4.40 Sefton Novice Hurdle
Afadil 10/ (each way)
Hold a good record in the Spring, good winner at the Ayr Grand National meeting last year. Ran well last Time at the Cheltenham festival in the county hurdle. He remains on the same handicap mark and ought to go close today.
