1	9 1st (9) (8/1 -23%) Sire Du Berlais		8 8/1(-23%)																															(9) Sire Du Berlais 8/1, Beat Flooring Porter to win this 12 months ago and came alive come the spring again when overhauling Dashel Drashel late on in the Stayers' at Cheltenham last month. Bold show likely if in similar form.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 -11%) Marie's Rock		5 5/1(-11%)																															(10) Marie's Rock 5/1, Won Grade 1 mares' events around 2½m at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals last spring. Looked better than ever when bagging the Relkeel at Cheltenham on her reappearance. Disappointed back at Cheltenham last time but she's not the type to stay down for long. First attempt at 3m.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +45%) Flooring Porter		3 3/1(+45%)																															(4) Flooring Porter 3/1, Dual Stayers' Hurdle winner at Cheltenham. Couldn't complete a hat-trick of wins in that race last month but still ran his best race of the season in fourth. Chased home Sire Du Berlais in this 12 months ago.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -14%) Meet And Greet		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Meet And Greet 16/1, Smart hurdler. Creditable 3 lengths second of 8 to Blazing Khal in Boyne Hurdle at Navan (21f, good to soft, 10/3) 62 days ago. Third to Home By The Lee at Leopardstown over Christmas. A bit vulnerable at the highest level.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +20%) Champ		6 6/1(+20%)																															(2) Champ 6/1, Very talented hurdler/chaser who dug deep to fend off Paisley Park in 3m Newbury Grade 2 hurdle on his reappearance. Not in quite the same form when 4¾ lengths third to Paisley Park in Kempton Grade 1 over Christmas. Freshened up since. Third in this last year. Capable of going well.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 +19%) Dashel Drasher		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(3) Dashel Drasher 6.5/1, Tough and likeable sort who resumed with a 2½m hurdle win here in November. Good runner-up efforts on all 4 starts since, going down by ¾ length to Sire Du Berlais in Stayers' at Cheltenham on latest. Thereabouts again.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 +0%) Monmiral		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) Monmiral 25/1, Won a Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at this meeting in 2021 and second in Aintree Hurdle last year. Smart form in defeat over fences this term. His good course record makes him a dangerous one to discount but he does have stamina to prove stepping up in trip. Tongue tie and cheekpieces on for first time.
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -12%) Brewin'upastorm		28 28/1(-12%)																															(1) Brewin'upastorm 28/1, Very smart hurdler who returned from wind surgery to land a second win in the Grade 2 National Spirit at Fontwell (19f) in February. His record suggests he'll be vulnerable back at highest level, though. Also has stamina to prove.
5	5 |PU| (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Home By The Lee		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(5) Home By The Lee 4.5/1, Gained a breakthrough win at Grade 1 level at Leopardstown over Christmas. Did very well under the circumstances when 3¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Sire Du Berlais in Stayers' at Cheltenham, a serious mistake at the sixth knocking him right back.
8	8 |PU| (8) (40/1 -21%) Proschema		40 40/1(-21%)																															(8) Proschema 40/1, Looked better than ever when breezing to success in the West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby. Can't have been right when pulled up at Newbury 4 weeks later and she was quickly back in form when 9½ lengths fourth to Brewin'upastorm in National Spirit at Fontwell. Something to find in this company.

15:35 Aintree Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, Sire Du Berlais appears to be a strong contender as he won this race last year and recently won the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Champ also has a strong track record and recently won a Grade 2 hurdle at Newbury. Marie's Rock has also had success at the highest level and could potentially bounce back from a disappointing run at Cheltenham. Ultimately, the outcome of the race will depend on how each horse performs on the day.

A competitive renewal of the Liverpool Hurdle with several intriguing contenders lining up, including Marie's Rock, who is fancied to bounce back following a disappointing run behind Honeysuckle in the Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. She gets a mares' allowance here, so the daughter of Milan looks a big player for powerful connections. That being said, Stayers' Hurdle winners are 5-7 in this race since it became a Grade 1 in 2010, so SIRE DU BERLAIS could be worth siding with. He kept on well to score from the well-fancied Flooring Porter in this contest last year and the fact he was able to uphold that form at Cheltenham last month must make Gordon Elliott's 11-year-old of significant interest. Dashel Drasher filled the runner-up spot behind the selection last time out and is another not to be taken lightly in first-time cheekpieces.

HOME BY THE LEE shaped a lot better than the result when behind a couple of these in the Stayers' at Cheltenham and is taken to turn the tables and notch a second Grade 1 win of the season. Champ has been freshened up since his run at Kempton over Christmas and is a very talented operator on his day so he's second choice ahead of stablemate Marie's Rock, who can't have been right at Cheltenham last month and can get back on track now stepping up to 3m for the first time.

Stayers' Hurdle fourth FLOORING PORTER suffered an interrupted preparation for Cheltenham and can improve from that run.

1	2 1st (2) (7.5/1 -7%) Midnight River		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(2) Midnight River 7.5/1, Useful novice hurdler who gained second chase success at Stratford and stepped up again when gamely landing Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day. Failed to meet expectations in Magners Plate at the Festival since but very much the type to bounce back. Tongue strap on. Stamina slight concern.
2	13 2nd (13) (12/1 +40%) Bowtogreatness		12 12/1(+40%)																															(13) Bowtogreatness 12/1, Dual novice hurdle winner (at around 2½m) and better form when twice placed over fences earlier this term. Overfaced in Grade 1 company next time but excuses both starts in handicaps since. 2 lb out of weights here, though. Bred to stay.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 +0%) Kinondo Kwetu		10 10/1(+0%)																															(8) Kinondo Kwetu 10/1, Off mark over hurdles on final start last season and has made a very good start to his chase career, winning first 5 starts, including 4-runner handicap in October. Well held in Grade 2 at Ascot after 4 months off but remains of interest back in a handicap. Tongue strap on 1st time.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 +40%) Shakem Up'Arry		4.5 4.5/1(+40%)																															(7) Shakem Up'Arry 4.5/1, Proved better than ever (tongue tied) when making winning return at Exeter and shaped well when fifth behind Midnight River at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, possibly making move sooner than ideal. Finished in front of that one when third in Magners Plate at the Festival. One to consider up in trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -11%) Eldorado Allen		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Eldorado Allen 10/1, Very smart but his limitations have been exposed at the highest level, remote seventh in Gold Cup at Cheltenham last month. Not particularly well treated back in a handicap.
6th	15 6th (15) (80/1 -186%) Handsworth		80 80/1(-186%)																															(15) Handsworth 80/1, Not disgraced when third at Navan last time but firmly up against it from long way out of the handicap.
7th	3 7th (3) (6.5/1 +13%) Nassalam		6.5 6.5/1(+13%)																															(3) Nassalam 6.5/1, Had a good first season over fences, taking Newbury Grade 2 and ending campaign with success at Fontwell. Easily best effort this term when excellent third (in this headgear) at Cheltenham (20.6f) on New Year's Day. Let down by jumping in Ultima at the Festival since but well worth another chance.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -13%) Karl Philippe		18 18/1(-13%)																															(6) Karl Philippe 18/1, Resumed with 2m 4f win at Wetherby in November and backed it up off 7 lb higher mark when second in handicap there on Boxing Day. However, seemed to find the jump to top-level handicaps a bit too much at Cheltenham last 2 starts.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 +0%) Gold Cup Bailly		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) Gold Cup Bailly 12/1, Useful chaser who won first 3 starts this season, including 2 small-field handicaps at Ayr. Good second there next time but well held upped in class (Grade 3) at Naas. This more suitable and remains low mileage.
12	12 |B| (12) (9/1 +25%) Coconut Splash		9 9/1(+25%)																															(12) Coconut Splash 9/1, Maiden hurdle winner who has shown useful form in defeat over fences but likely to find this too competitive. 2 lb out of the handicap.
5	5 |F| (5) (4.5/1 +31%) Beauport		4.5 4.5/1(+31%)																															(5) Beauport 4.5/1, Likeable, progressive hurdler who made fine start over fences when landing listed Colin Parker Chase at Carlisle on return. Yet to build on that but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in Kim Muir at Cheltenham Festival last month, travelling better than most for a long way (lost shoe).
9	9 |F| (9) (25/1 -56%) Castle Robin		25 25/1(-56%)																															(9) Castle Robin 25/1, Ended last season on the up over fences, scoring at Doncaster and Wetherby. Excuses first 2 starts this term before resuming winning ways at Sandown, making most. Not in same form in Grimthorpe at Doncaster since but did make a bad mistake at the first.
10	10 |U| (10) (25/1 -39%) Kapga De Lily		25 25/1(-39%)																															(10) Kapga De Lily 25/1, Likeable mare who made a winning reappearance last season before following up at Hereford. All the better for return this time when good third in handicap at Wincanton and similar form when third of 5 in listed chase at Exeter soon after. Should run her race again.
11	11 |PU| (11) (25/1 -56%) Darrens Hope		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Darrens Hope 25/1, Dual scorer over fences but arrives out of form and partlicularly well handicapped even if back to best.
14	14 |PU| (14) (50/1 -79%) Daly Tiger		50 50/1(-79%)																															(14) Daly Tiger 50/1, Very smart chaser at best for Noel Meade and won a minor event over hurdles at Limerick last season. However, has lost his way since then, finishing well held all 4 starts for current connections.

LTO Selection:

---

16:15 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 1) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

BEAUPORT travelled well for a long way but failed to see out the testing 3m2f on soft ground in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham last month. Down a furlong in trip and switched to a flat track, the seven-year-old may put in an improved effort and is certainly on a workable mark. Midnight River disappointed at the Festival but is a player based on his Grade 3 victory at Cheltenham two starts ago. Eldorado Allen has been highly tried this season and should not be underestimated now eased in grade, while Gold Cup Bailly and Nassalam are a couple of others to note.

SHAKEM UP'ARRY has really impressed with how he's travelled since the tongue strap was fitted, producing another cracking effort when third in the Magners Plate at the Cheltenham Festival, and he may just get away with the longer trip at this flatter track. Midnight River and Nassalam failed to meet expectations in the same race at Cheltenham but both are likely to bounce back given their profiles, while Beauport will be suited by the drop back in trip given how he shaped in the Kim Muir.

Beauport can go well but he may have to give best to SHAKEM UP'ARRY who can improve on his good third at the Cheltenham Festival.

1	26 1st (26) (8/1 +20%) Corach Rambler		8 8/1(+20%)																															(26) Corach Rambler 8/1, Leaped into favouritism for this with a second successive win in the Ultima Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival, idling late having quickened smartly to lead. 10 lb well-in and Scottish yard won this with One For Arthur in 2017. Obvious chance if he doesn't get too far back.
2	23 2nd (23) (20/1 -11%) Vanillier		20 20/1(-11%)																															(23) Vanillier 20/1, Grade 1 hurdles winner over 3m and ran an eye-catching race in Fairyhouse Grade 3 chase 7 weeks ago, closing all the way behind the classy Kemboy without being not knocked about. Should stay this far and if keeping the mistakes down he could go well.
3	13 3rd (13) (10/1 +17%) Gaillard Du Mesnil		10 10/1(+17%)																															(13) Gaillard Du Mesnil 10/1, Very smart grey who was third in last year's Irish National and proved all stamina when landing the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham last month. Not always fluent there though and did have quite a hard race. One of 5 for Willie Mullins (won this just once, in 2005).
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +17%) Noble Yeats		10 10/1(+17%)																															(2) Noble Yeats 10/1, Proved money well spent when belying chasing inexperience to take this 12 months ago from Any Second Now, showing bags of stamina to overhaul that one and becoming the first winning 7-y-o since 1940. Has improved further this term, fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last time. 19 lb higher this year.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +25%) The Big Dog		12 12/1(+25%)																															(5) The Big Dog 12/1, Big improver in the autumn, winning a couple of valuable 3m handicap chases in Ireland before a fine third in the Welsh National. Took an uncharacteristic fall in the Irish Gold Cup last time which is hardly the ideal preparation, but otherwise he's one of the more likely types.
6th	40 6th (40) (50/1 +50%) Born By The Sea		50 50/1(+50%)																															(40) Born By The Sea 50/1, Useful handicap chaser at his best who has failed to figure (albeit faced with stiff tasks) last 4 starts and would be a surprising winner from out of the weights.
7th	19 7th (19) (33/1 +18%) Roi Mage		33 33/1(+18%)																															(19) Roi Mage 33/1, Eight-time winning chaser who struck for new yard at Down Royal last spring. Second to Longhouse Poet bidding for the repeat 4 weeks ago and plenty of others have stronger claims given he's prone to mistakes.
8th	29 8th (29) (33/1 +18%) Mister Coffey		33 33/1(+18%)																															(29) Mister Coffey 33/1, Talented but rather frustrating performer who was placed again at the Cheltenham Festival when third to Gaillard du Mesnil in the NH Chase, wilting from 2 out. Didn't take to these fences in last year's Topham and with his stamina doubts he's unlikely to be Nicky Henderson's first winner in this.
9th	21 9th (21) (66/1 +34%) A Wave Of The Sea		66 66/1(+34%)																															(21) A Wave Of The Sea 66/1, All his wins have come over much shorter and he ran a shocker for the third year running at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Very hard to fancy upped markedly in trip.
4	4 |F| (4) (33/1 +34%) Fury Road		33 33/1(+34%)																															(4) Fury Road 33/1, Very smart on his day but hard to catch right. His third to Galopin des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup in February reads well though and he may appreciate this much stiffer test on a belated start in a handicap having been caught out in the Ryanair last time. 1 of 8 for Gordon Elliott.
17	17 |F| (17) (40/1 +0%) The Big Breakaway		40 40/1(+0%)																															(17) The Big Breakaway 40/1, Smart novice chaser in 2020/21 but firmly back on track this term with good seconds in valuable Haydock handicap and the Welsh National, jumping a lot better than usual at Chepstow. Never got going in the Ultima at Cheltenham but might have needed it after 11 weeks off. Stronger headgear goes on.
8	8 |F| (8) (66/1 +0%) Sam Brown		66 66/1(+0%)																															(8) Sam Brown 66/1, Won the preceding handicap on this card 12 months ago and was a good third in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby on his return. Quiet since but has likely had this as his target (should stay long distances). Has had a breathing operation.
31	31 |F| (31) (80/1 +20%) Hill Sixteen		80 80/1(+20%)																															(31) Hill Sixteen 80/1, Close second in the mud over these fences in the 2021 Becher but patchy form since, well held again at Kelso (lost a shoe) after 4 months off/another breathing operation at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on and he should stay this far. Jockey rode the 66/1-winner of this in 2013.
7	7 |U| (7) (11/1 -22%) Delta Work		11 11/1(-22%)																															(7) Delta Work 11/1, Last year's third won the Cross Country Chase for the second year running at Cheltenham last month, seeing off Galvin having denied National hero Tiger Roll 12 months earlier. It was a big effort from him from 1 lb higher in 2022 having made early mistakes and he'll be sharper this time. Big player.
28	28 |U| (28) (14/1 +0%) Mr Incredible		14 14/1(+0%)																															(28) Mr Incredible 14/1, Has his quirks (has refused to race) but also a ton of ability, placed in valuable staying handicap chases the last twice, his effort flattening out as he wandered badly on the run-in in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham last month. Will stay and has it in him to run a huge race if taking to the test.
12	12 |U| (12) (20/1 +9%) Longhouse Poet		20 20/1(+9%)																															(12) Longhouse Poet 20/1, Warmed up nicely for a second crack at this when returning to winning ways at Down Royal last month, beating Roi Mage. Took to the course really well last year but finished held in sixth having proved far too keen. Same mark and will clearly need to settle better.
3	3 |U| (3) (22/1 +0%) Galvin		22 22/1(+0%)																															(3) Galvin 22/1, Tough and genuine performer with a good Cheltenham Festival record, second to a stablemate with an even better one in Delta Work on his first go in a cross-country race last month. Has to meet that one on 7 lb worse terms here though. Davy Russell, seeking a third National win, back in the saddle.
9	9 |U| (9) (33/1 +34%) Lifetime Ambition		33 33/1(+34%)																															(9) Lifetime Ambition 33/1, Good jumper who took pretty well to these fences in the Grand Sefton in November before chasing home The Big Dog in the Troytown at Navan. Well held since (over hurdles latest) and is a doubtful stayer. Others preferred.
34	34 |U| (34) (50/1 +24%) Eva's Oskar		50 50/1(+24%)																															(34) Eva's Oskar 50/1, Likeable chaser who has improved since the visor went on, scoring at Cheltenham in December and doing enough to prove himself over this sort of trip when fourth in the Eider at Newcastle 7 weeks ago. Tongue tie goes on and probably only minor place claims.
32	32 |U| (32) (50/1 +24%) Gabbys Cross		50 50/1(+24%)																															(32) Gabbys Cross 50/1, Won handicap chase at Galway last summer and has been shaping up well in good races this season, finishing with running left at Naas 5 weeks ago. Rachael Blackmore switches to stablemate Ain't That A Shame but he should stay and unwise to dismiss.
30	30 |U| (30) (80/1 +0%) Cloudy Glen		80 80/1(+0%)																															(30) Cloudy Glen 80/1, Hard to predict but was runner-up in the Kim Muir 2 years ago and won the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury on return last season. Jumped well but had a hard race on his return at Haydock and bombed out behind Corach Rambler at Cheltenham. Trainer and owners have enjoyed success in this over the years.
33	33 |U| (33) (80/1 +20%) Recite A Prayer		80 80/1(+20%)																															(33) Recite A Prayer 80/1, Won the Killarney National last spring and good efforts at Listowel/Clonmel in the autumn. Well beaten over these fences in the Becher and at Leopardstown in December though and looks down the Willie Mullins' pecking order back from a break.
20	20 |U| (20) (100/1 -25%) Diol Ker		100 100/1(-25%)																															(20) Diol Ker 100/1, Well suited to the demands of large-field staying handicaps, winning the Leinster National last season and going close in a valuable contest at Leopardstown over Christmas. Not so good at Punchestown since though and work to do up in trip.
14	14 |U| (14) (100/1 +0%) Darasso		100 100/1(+0%)																															(14) Darasso 100/1, Admirable dual purpose performer who was third in the Kerry National in September and scored at Thurles in December. Well beaten the last twice though and looks up against it on his first go in a marathon handicap.
10th	15 10th (15) (12/1 +25%) Le Milos		12 12/1(+25%)																															(15) Le Milos 12/1, Has improved further for new yard this term, winning hot Newbury handicap chase in November (Corach Rambler fourth) and shaping best in second on first run since at Kelso 6 weeks ago, sent for home earlier than ideal. Had a hard race there but is very much the type who'll take well to this test.
11th	35 11th (35) (25/1 +0%) Our Power		25 25/1(+0%)																															(35) Our Power 25/1, Improving and likeable chaser who has won valuable 3m handicaps at Ascot and Kempton 4 months apart this term, jumping soundly and holding on gamely 7 weeks ago. Done well to get a run as a progressive sort (due to be 4 lb higher in the future) and well in the mix if he stays.
12th	27 12th (27) (50/1 -25%) Enjoy D'allen		50 50/1(-25%)																															(27) Enjoy D'allen 50/1, Dual winning chaser who got no further than the first in this last year having been purchased by top owner and he's been well held since, going with little fluency at Fairyhouse 7 weeks ago. Tongue tie back on.
13th	38 13th (38) (100/1 +0%) Fortescue		100 100/1(+0%)																															(38) Fortescue 100/1, Useful chaser who relished the emphasis on stamina when landing a listed handicap at Ascot (3m, heavy) last season. Hasn't taken to this course in 2 tries though, never going well from the third in this last year and looking laboured in the Becher in December. Different headgear. Hard to fancy.
14th	10 14th (10) (50/1 +24%) Carefully Selected		50 50/1(+24%)																															(10) Carefully Selected 50/1, Very lightly raced for an 11-y-o but better than ever back from 33 months off this term, relishing the slog through the Gowran mud as he edged out Dunboyne in the Thyestes in January. Better than the result at Fairyhouse since but wouldn't be sure to take to these fences. Excellent young rider up.
15th	22 15th (22) (50/1 +24%) Minella Trump		50 50/1(+24%)																															(22) Minella Trump 50/1, The winningmost horse of last season (won 8 of his 9 starts at up to 3m, mostly in small-field contests). Should have come on for his first run in 10 months at Bangor 3 weeks ago but doesn't look well enough handicapped to take this for 2011's winning trainer.
16th	37 16th (37) (125/1 -25%) Francky Du Berlais		125 125/1(-25%)																															(37) Francky Du Berlais 125/1, Notched up a second win in the valuable Summer Plate at Market Rasen last summer. Looked energised by step up to a marathon trip in cross country race at Cheltenham in January and shaped well again on that course last month (might have hung on for third if finishing). Could go well for a long way.
17th	25 17th (25) (10/1 -11%) Ain't That A Shame		10 10/1(-11%)																															(25) Ain't That A Shame 10/1, Was shaping up well this season before opening account over fences in Gowran maiden in the mud 5 weeks ago, readily coming clear despite a couple of mistakes. Could have a bigger effort in the locker now contesting a marathon handicap and one to note under 2021-winning rider Rachael Blackmore.
1	1 |PU| (1) (14/1 +0%) Any Second Now		14 14/1(+0%)																															(1) Any Second Now 14/1, Has come alive in this race for the last 2 years, arguably unlucky not to win when third in 2021 and finding only Noble Yeats too good 12 months ago, briefly looking like the winner at the last. Warmed up with a smooth Navan success from Velvet Elvis last month but is 8 lb higher third time around.
6	6 |PU| (6) (22/1 +0%) Capodanno		22 22/1(+0%)																															(6) Capodanno 22/1, Second-season chaser who has gone well in big fields and won extended 3m Punchestown Grade 1 novice last spring from Lifetime Ambition and Fury Road. Pleasing comeback at Gowran in February and looks like he has the required stamina for this. Big run could be on the way.
39	39 |PU| (39) (22/1 +33%) Back On The Lash		22 22/1(+33%)																															(39) Back On The Lash 22/1, Struck again over the cross country fences at Cheltenham in January but struggled once more behind Delta Work there last month and this is even tougher from out of the weights under a change of rider.
24	24 |PU| (24) (25/1 +38%) Velvet Elvis		25 25/1(+38%)																															(24) Velvet Elvis 25/1, Made all at Fairyhouse in February and fair run behind Any Second Now at Navan 4 weeks ago. Stamina to prove here though (finished tired in last year's Irish National) and hard to see him in the shake up.
11	11 |PU| (11) (28/1 +15%) Coko Beach		28 28/1(+15%)																															(11) Coko Beach 28/1, Gordon Elliott-trained grey who led for a long way in the Thyestes won by Carefully Selected before scoring himself for the first time in 2 years at Punchestown 8 weeks ago. Didn't get home in the 2021 Irish National or in this 12 months ago (eighth off 5 lb lower).
36	36 |PU| (36) (50/1 +38%) Dunboyne		50 50/1(+38%)																															(36) Dunboyne 50/1, Off the mark over fences in the Gowran mud in November and went close behind Carefully Selected in valuable handicap there in January. Kept on from a long way back in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham last month and sterner headgear tried upped markedly in trip now.
18	18 |PU| (18) (100/1 +33%) Cape Gentleman		100 100/1(+33%)																															(18) Cape Gentleman 100/1, Smart chaser at best and took a step back in the right direction on second start for this yard when behind Velvet Elvis at Fairyhouse 10 weeks ago. Never raced beyond 3m though (all wins over shorter) and he has plenty on his plate.

17:15 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 1) 34f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary, 11/1 (7) DELTA WORK, 10/1 (2) NOBLE YEATS, and 8/1 (26) CORACH RAMBLER seem like strong contenders for the race. 11/1 (7) DELTA WORK has a good track record at Cheltenham and a recent win in the Cross Country Chase, while 10/1 (2) NOBLE YEATS has improved significantly since last year and finished fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. 8/1 (26) CORACH RAMBLER has also had recent success at Cheltenham and has a 10 lb advantage. However, other horses such as 10/1 (25) AIN'T THAT A SHAME and 12/1 (5) THE BIG DOG cannot be dismissed and may surprise.

This most famous race has tended to see some quirky individuals come alive around the National fences in the past and there are none more so in this year's field than MR INCREDIBLE. The seven-year-old has been eye-catching when staying on from off the pace in the Kim Muir and Classic Chase this season, both excellent trials for this unique contest. No winner has carried more than 11-10 to win the National since the mighty Red Rum and that stat does not bode well for last year's one-two, Noble Yeats (first) and Any Second Now, both of whom arrive in fine form. Last year's third Delta Work is now 20lb better off with the winner and arrives on the back of another excellent win in the Cross Country at Cheltenham, while Corach Rambler is 10lb well-in after doubling up in the Ultima. The Big Dog is another dour stayer who has already notched up victories in the Munster National and Troytown this season, while on the other side of the water, Le Milos and Our Power have done similar. One to note at a big price could be Gabbys Cross, who has a very similar profile to Henry De Bromhead's 2021 winner Minella Times.

DELTA WORK can give Gordon Elliott a fourth Grand National victory. He's been extremely strong at the finish when winning the Cross Country Chase for the last 2 years, the same race Tiger Roll landed before taking this in 2018 and 2019 for connections, and he gave a great account of himself when third off 1 lb higher 12 months ago. Corach Rambler is another dual Cheltenham Festival winner who ticks plenty of boxes for the 2017-winning yard. Le Milos and Vanillier complete the shortlist.

Performances in France suggest ROI MAGE (nap) can reveal himself in a spectacular new light with today's test. Le Milos is next.

1	8 1st (8) (18/1 -13%) Florida Dreams		18 18/1(-13%)																															(8) Florida Dreams 18/1, Doyen gelding who made the perfect start when taking a Musselburgh bumper 102 days ago. This is much tougher and inexperience could hold him back.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.2/1 +47%) Blizzard Of Oz		3.2 3.2/1(+47%)																															(4) Blizzard Of Oz 3.2/1, Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers prior to opening his account at Cork in ready fashion. Further progress would put him right in the mix and appears to be the choice of Patrick Mullins.
3	10 3rd (10) (28/1 -133%) Hasthing		28 28/1(-133%)																															(10) Hasthing 28/1, French bumper winner who shaped very encouragingly when second at Uttoxeter 17 months later. Likely to take another step forward and could be involved.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -32%) Bowenspark		33 33/1(-32%)																															(5) Bowenspark 33/1, Won first two starts in bumpers but came up short upped to listed company at Newbury a couple of months ago. Faces another stiff task.
5th	13 5th (13) (6.5/1 -18%) Pour Les Filles		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(13) Pour Les Filles 6.5/1, Point winner who showed a good attitude to edge out a well-backed Willie Mullins-trained rival on debut at Leopardstown over Christmas. Should have plenty more to offer.
6th	17 6th (17) (33/1 -32%) Esprit Du Potier		33 33/1(-32%)																															(17) Esprit Du Potier 33/1, Runner-up on debut at Ayr and won both subsequent starts there, comfortably making all on latest. Likely to be found out up in grade, though.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 +40%) Masaccio		12 12/1(+40%)																															(12) Masaccio 12/1, Debut winner at Doncaster back in 2020 and useful form since. Good second in a listed contest at Newbury a couple of months ago but will need to improve to feature.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 +17%) Go To War		10 10/1(+17%)																															(9) Go To War 10/1, Made appeal on paper and off the mark at first time of asking in 11-runner bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 169 days ago. Likely more to come and stable won the mares' race on Thursday.
9th	19 9th (19) (16/1 -78%) Samui		16 16/1(-78%)																															(19) Samui 16/1, From a good NH family and justified favouritism in good style on debut at Naas last month. Entitled to improve for top yard but this is a whole different test.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 +8%) Aslukgoes		11 11/1(+8%)																															(1) Aslukgoes 11/1, Won 2 good-ground bumpers for Ian Williams last summer and completed the hat-trick on debut for current trainer at Newbury a couple of months ago. Should give another good account.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -21%) Kinbara		40 40/1(-21%)																															(11) Kinbara 40/1, £70,000 buy after winning his sole point and followed suit in 11-runner bumper at Killarney 9 months ago. Not seen since, though, and a lot more is required if he's to defend his unbeaten record.
12th	15 12th (15) (100/1 -150%) Westerninthepark		100 100/1(-150%)																															(15) Westerninthepark 100/1, Second in a point and filled the same position switched to Rules at Huntingdon on debut. Went one better at Stratford since but he's probably not up to this level.
13th	6 13th (6) (3.33/1 +49%) Captain Cody		3.33 3.33/1(+49%)																															(6) Captain Cody 3.33/1, Showed plenty on completed start in point and Punchestown bumper prior to easy success in Limerick contest on Rules debut. Shaped really well in the Champion Bumper and makes plenty of appeal down in grade.
14th	18 14th (18) (80/1 -100%) Fiercely Proud		80 80/1(-100%)																															(18) Fiercely Proud 80/1, Landed Market Rasen bumper on debut in October (subsequently sold from Don Cantillon £125,000) and followed up in listed contest at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Down the field in Champion Bumper and likely to come up short again.
15th	3 15th (3) (33/1 +18%) Bertie's Ballet		33 33/1(+18%)																															(3) Bertie's Ballet 33/1, Likeable sort who improved to double his tally at Kelso 3 weeks ago. This is obviously much stronger but he boasts place claims.
16th	2 16th (2) (14/1 +13%) Beat The Bat		14 14/1(+13%)																															(2) Beat The Bat 14/1, Close second of 17 in bumper at Wincanton on debut and went one better when landing a 14-runner bumper at Chepstow 49 days ago. Worth his place in a race like this.
17th	14 17th (14) (80/1 -21%) Taras Halls		80 80/1(-21%)																															(14) Taras Halls 80/1, Yeats gelding who made a winning start at Huntingdon and found only one too good there subsequently. Faces a stiff task in this contest, however.
18th	16 18th (16) (50/1 -213%) Dino Bellagio		50 50/1(-213%)																															(16) Dino Bellagio 50/1, 7/2, won slowly-run 6-runner bumper at Ayr (16f, good to soft) on NH debut, cosily. Disappointing at Cheltenham next time but right back on track when quickening clear in decisive fashion at Doncaster 77 days ago. This is much tougher.
19th	20 19th (20) (125/1 -279%) Shinji		125 125/1(-279%)																															(20) Shinji 125/1, Proved a class apart in Fakenham bumper for Roger Varian (subsequently sold £60,000) in November. Ran well but looked headstrong in listed event at Newbury last month and hood goes on now. Plenty to find.
7	7 |PU| (7) (12/1 -71%) Centara		12 12/1(-71%)																															(7) Centara 12/1, Out of a bumper winner and impressive start when readily landing a Taunton event last month. Open to a good deal of improvement and makes plenty of appeal.

18:20 Aintree NH Flat Race (Class 1) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Patrick Mullins was excited by the prospects of Blizzard Of Oz earlier in the season, so it would have come as a relief when he opened his account at Cork last month. He should continue to progress, but that's the case with many of these and a chance is taken on CENTARA. Paul Nicholls has landed two of the previous three renewals of this contest and his bloodless Taunton scorer can boost his record further. Aslukgoes has yet to taste defeat in three starts so must enter calculations, along with the Gordon Elliott-trained Pour Les Filles. Others to note include Kinbara, Beat The Bat and Go To War.

CENTARA tanked through the race when making a successful start at Taunton recently and he could find sufficient improvement to maintain his unbeaten record up in grade. Captain Cody is an obvious player after his excellent sixth in the Champion Bumper, while his stablemate Blizzard of Oz is one of several others with feasible claims in an open-looking renewal.

Top billing in a warm race goes to the well-bred Leopardstown winner POUR LES FILLES, with Centara second choice.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
