![]() ![]() He will have to improve to take this but we have no idea how good he is yet so hopefully he can run a big race for us. Hullnaback finished 2ndof 18 in a bumper at this meeting last year and has looked progressive in his three starts over hurdles since October winning his last race at Warwick 62 days ago easily by 9.5 lengths. The joint Favourites at 4/1 are Found A Fifty and Inthepocket with Luccia at 9/2 and all three have obvious winning chances however the next two in the betting are Hullnaback (7/1) and No Looking Back (8/1) and, unable to split them, these are the two I have gone for with at least 12 firms paying 4 places on the race. This is a 13-runner Grade 1 Novices’ Hurdle race over 16.5f where I think the head of the market has got it right. He is just 2lb above his last winning mark, will be suited by this return to better ground, is having his second run since a wind operation, and this 2m4f here looks ideal for him.Ģ.55pm Aintree – 2m½f(2m103y) Poundland Top Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) HULLNABACKĠ.5 POINTS EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 15/2 AVAILABLE WITH BETWAY PAYING 4 PLACES ![]() Pull Again Green could be on a good mark having dropped 6lb down the weights since October and has Liam Harrison taking a further 3lb off his back. We saw yesterday Fergal O’Brien has his string in decent order (Last 14 days: 5-29, 17%) with his 5 year old mare Dysart Enos taking the bumper at 5.15. This track should suit and the ground looks ideal for her. The 7 year old mare runs in a handicap for the first time since December 2021 when she won at Cheltenham off a 3lb higher mark. I like the first-time booking of Rachel Blackmore on Martello Sky who has dropped 7lb down the weights since January 2022. Several firms are paying 6 places on the race while Skybet are the only bookmaker who are offering the first 7 home. This is a 22-runner handicap where many of the runners have winning chances so I have gone with a couple who I think will give us a good run for our money. For me, Gerri Colombe is the best horse in the race and wins if he puts his best foot forward today.Ģ.20pm Aintree – 2m4f William Hill Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) MARTELLO SKYĠ.5 POINTS EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 16/1 AVAILABLE WITH THE FOLLOWING FIRMS PAYING 6 PLACES ![]() The re-opposing Bronn (7/2) was more than 4 lengths behind him on that occasion and while he is an improving 6 year old he will have to take another good step forward to reverse the form meeting him on the same terms today.Ĭomplete Unknown (6/1) is an improving Paul Nicholls trained 7 year old who has 8lb to find on Racing Post Ratings with the Favourite and might be able to if improving further while the Racing Post Spotlight column have gone with Galia Des Liteaux (12/1) thinking the 7 year old mare will be better suited by this track. Being a 6-runner race this isn’t much of a betting medium for each way punters and, even worse, I was with Gerri Colombe when he could be considered a little unlucky to finish 2nd at Cheltenham and see no reason why I should change allegiance here even though this is certainly no one horse race. ![]()
