Sir Alex with a Treble in Merseyside on Day 1 of the Aintree meeting, sadly not much luck for us yesterday with some decent placed efforts but sadly nothing being confirmed the winner by the judge.
A frustrating day, onto today, with the big one tomorrow.
Aintree:
13:45 – Mister Coffey and Edwardstone are the selections, the former well handicapped and should trigger a decent day for Nicky Henderson, the latter was a fancy at Cheltenham and ran well.
Mister Coffey 6/1 3PT EW
Edwardstone 7/1 2PT EW
14:20 – Third Time Lucki for the in-form Skelton yard should head the top of the market and is the selection.
Third Time Lucki 3/1 4PT EW
14:50 – Fiddlerontheroof, after his Cheltenham exploits and Shan Blue (surely he wont go off as wildly this time) are the selections against the excellent fav, Chantry House (who hacked up after Envoi Allen fell at HQ). At 6/4 however, we will be avoiding the fav who we backed at Cheltenham.
Fiddlerontheroof 6/1 1.5PT ew
Shan Blue 13/2 1.5PT ew
15:25 – Politologue the former Champion Chaser at HQ, pulled out from defending his crown this year with a bleed returns to Aintree (where he was successful at this meeting in 2018), both him and Fakir D’Oudairies head the market at around 3s.
Dashel Drasher has been running well all season looking great at Ascot last time out, he can step up today. Master Tommytucker who came second in the aforementioned Ascot race, also has his form somewhat franked by how relatively well Clondaw Castle performed yesterday.
Dashel Drasher 6/1 3PT EW
Master Tommytucker 15/2 1.5PT EW
16:05 – Livelovelaugh, Senior Citizen and Lust for Glory are where the darts landed in a very open affair over the National fences.
Livelovelaugh 7/1 1.5PT ew
Senior Citizen 11/1 1PT ew
Lust For Glory 40/1 0.5PT ew
16:40 – Henderson kept his novice hurdlers back from Cheltenham, however Gallyhill was getting plenty of buzz (despite being beaten last time-out), he is the selection, perhaps to chase home Bravemansgame who really on form should have the beating of these.
Gallyhill 5/1 2.5PT ew
Doyen Breed 50/1 0.5PT ew
17:15 – another mad race, a few darts thrown at the following:
The Grey Falco 8/1 1PT ew
Mad Max 12/1 1PT ew
Beeno 100/1 0.5PT ew
Bold Enough 10/1 1PT ew
