Hi all,
First day of Aintree’s Grand National Festival and all today’s three selections are from Aintree.
Aintree
1:45 – Pic D’Orhy – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Should be favourite on ratings. However, the form of the Paul Nicholls and the prospect of softening round mean he’s bigger in the betting than expected. Still the one to beat though and the value pick.
4:05 – Latenightpass – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection took well to the fences when runner-up in this race 12 month ago. Comes into the race in good nick after an easy win a point-to-point last month and looks set for another a bold bid.
5:15 – Naughtinesse – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The Irish raider confirmed her debut promise when beating eight rivals in a Fairyhouse bumper on New Year’s Day. She’s bred to be useful when going hurdling but can go well here.
Cheers
John
