Looking forward to it already.

Going to back Madison Du Berlais and a few others. Hopefully its a good day of the sport!

Wish they would have more ante post markets up I want to get stuck in

Big Bucks and Imperial Commander double.

Looking like being Wishfull Thinking in the last tomorrow was going well in the Coral Cup until falling

Watch out for Phidippides one of big Williams winners after beating Quantitativeeasing its down for either Friday or Saturday JWP knows about this one, this has been its target all season.

so aintree is upon us.... had my fingers burnt in the past backing the winners at cheltenham that then go on to run stinkers here so BEWARE!! aintree is such a differant track

2.55 aintree is a very intresting race with some good horses such as sanctuaire, my voici, barizan and notus de la tour

backed barizan at chelt

going with notus de la tour here, as i did at cheltenham, at 8/1, 7lb better off with sanctuaire and i think this track will suit better plus pipe horses are in form, sanctuaire only 2/1 which i think is too short.

At the moment I'm looking at Mon Mome, becoming the first back to back winner for 36 years. Ran well at Cheltenham for a place, running on past beaten horses, and sure to offer good value again.

I also like the look of Whinstone Boy if he gets in.

Well i truly cannot wait for this meeting, seems like one of the best in recent years, especially Saturday's card.

My Thursday picks aren't concrete yet, will post changes if made.
