Aintree Day 2, April 4th (Money Day)

I want to give the Don another chance tomorrow but I couldn't pick my nose at the moment.

I think Wishful thinking is in good form and won't be as outpaced tomorrow.

Attaglance and Harding to get things right this time. Still on a winning mark.

Won't have a penny on though, have given up!

At the preview night Warren Greatrex was very bullish about his horse in the bumper. Said whatever beat it would win. Hannah's Princess - 10-1.

Three bets.

2.30 Wonderful Charm 4/1 - still believe he has the talent to be top class over right trip and that's tomorrow hopefully. He ran in the Jewson like some of his other races before festival suggested he would, doing all his best work at the finish. 3m round Aintree should be perfect and if he doesn't win tomorrow there'll be no more excuses. Strongly believe tomorrows trip will bring out the best in him though.


3.05 Module 5/1 - never been any great fan of the horse but he's got the form in the book against much better horses than he faces tomorrow an is as consistent as they come. Got to go close in a shocking race (God knows why the Pipes didn't send Dynaste here)


Singles & each way double

Wasnt that stonebrook beaten by faugheen by miles in that punchestown bumper and close josses hill same race? At 7/1 it seems appealing tomorrow.

Yeah he is pricewised. Ive had a small bet on him.

Anywhere I could see the write up? The morning I suppose? Intrigued!!

Have these for tomorrow thanks to Stan James.

2:00 Amore Alato (14/1) - Horse has beat Sgt Reckless twice but yet is double the price, surely a bit of value here.
3:40 Ma Filleule (14/1) - Have tipped it up here a few times and it has shown some nice improvement.
4:50 Clondaw Kaempfer (16/1) - Going to give this horse one last chance, I think it may well prefer a track like Aintree.
5:20 Hannahs Princess (10/1) - Bangor Billy's tip.

Keeping a bit of powder dry for Dundalk tonight. There's a few well handicapped runners out there tonight that may just fall under the radar with all this Grand National talk.

Module is underrated. I'm waiting for it to hit 6/1 and I'll put a decent bet on.

Backed Josses Hill last night.

Will also back Module and Stonebrook.

A few I like the look of today

3.40 Aintree Tatenen 25/1 love this lad to bits and he ran an absolute blinder in the Byrne Group Plate at Cheltenham when 3rd behind the well handicapped pair of Ballynagour & Colour Squadron. I think the handicapper has been kind to leave him unchanged off a mark of 140 and, clearly in great heart, I think he's in line to run another stormer today. One could point to failing to complete over these National Fences in two attempts but he was brought down on one of those occasions and I think you can always forgive one unseat over them. Additionally, over the mammoth Grand National trip, Tatenen was always held up to have any chance of staying the trip but over a much more suitable extended 2m5f I can Andy Thornton being a lot more positive on him which I think will help him a lot.

4.15 Aintree Seeyouatmidnight 5/1 if this 6 year old hailed from a top yard I think he'd be about a 2/1 shot and I think the 5/1 about Sandy Thompson's son of Midnight Legend is a tremendous price. Unbeaten in all three starts over hurdles, Seeyouatmidnight has been very impressive on each occasion and I thought it was a tremendous performance when beating more experienced opposition in the Rendlesham and he unquestionably the one they all have to beat. And I don't think he will be.

4.50 Aintree Zabana 7/1 & Party Rock 33/1 After winning his last start, trainer Andrew Lynch said that Zabana was only a shell of a horse last year (won twice) and that he was a much stronger horse this year. He certainly looked it when winning impressively off a mark of 119 on his reappearance at Leopardstown. Travelling powerfully throughout the contest, I thought Zabana was value for more than the 2L margin of victory and that race has worked out extremely well. The runner up Empire of Dirt (gave Zabana 7lb) has since gone on to score in a Grade 2, the 3rd home Bothar Clei and 4th home Mister Hotelier (who reopposes here on 2lb better terms) have also won since and I think the 13lb higher mark he must contend with looks fair. With better ground sure to suit, I think this unexposed animal has a great chance of landing this in a race that I think will suit him ideally.

The other I like is Jennie Candlish's Party Rock who has been woeful on his last 4 starts but has resultantly dropped 10lb for those runs to a mark of 135 which makes him look well handicapped. 7lb above the mark he was a very convincing winner over C+D last May, he was narrowly beaten off a 5lb higher mark in December again over C+D just 5 starts ago and if rediscovering that form I think he can run a fine race at a big price.

Sgt Reckless passed a hell of a lot of horses in Chelt near the finish and it will be interesting to see how He goes , on the Vatour formline , Josses Hill 13-8 and The Sgt at 11-2 seems too big a discrepancy imo.

I like Holywell in second, that won for me at Cheltenham so might go for that


I Like sticking with previous winners I got before, it shows the horses you trust them and creats a circle of bond I feel - and that can only help the horses

Get the **** in.

Confirms what a monster Vautour is.
