Aintree 2019
In the banquet of national hunt racing, Cheltenham is the main course and Aintree the dessert - the Grand National aside, of course. Many of those who took part in the Festival also try their luck at Aintree where, quite often, tables are turned with Cheltenham losers becoming Aintree winners.
Though the fields are generally smaller at Aintree, the trends are just as strong and i'm hoping for a decent first day;
1.45; Glen Forsa @ 7/2
2.20; Pentland Hills @ 9/4
2.50; Kemboy @ 15/8
3.25; Buveur D'air @ 10/11*
50p Yank, £1 trebles, £1 acca = £10.50 stake. Poss return of £317.75.
*Wouldn't normally touch odds-on chances (had hoped for evens) but, if it stays on it's feet, it could be the banker of the day.
4.05; Ucello Conti @ 9/1
4.40; Brelan D'as @ 9/1
5.15; Misty Whisky @ 7/1
Win singles, .50 Patent, .75p e.w. Treble = £20 stake. 3 placed = £14, 3 winners = £1,068.
Good luck anyone having a punt today
