Aintree selections Saturday 5th April A warm National day and an extremely classy renewal of the big race should offer an excellent highlight to the meeting. I have three fancies for the big race, headed by a novice who should love the drier ground. The supporting card is strong...
Aintree selections Friday 4th April Friday looks a fiendishly tricky card at Aintree as despite the drying ground the fields are extremely competitive and of top quality. I am going to look at the three handicaps on the afternoon and throw a few darts at value odds. Aintree 2.20:...
The Grand National meeting at Aintree commences today and of course the fixture these days is not all about the big race on Saturday. We have four Grade 1 contests to kick things off today, of which I have selections for two of those races. However the one handicap...
