Far from impressed with it. Missing it for the first year since i was about 12. Lets hope the radio coverage wont be too bad.

Do horses that have run at Cheltenham tend to bounce at this meeting ?

Only 3 Cheltenham Festival winners in 2010 won at the Aintree meeting that same year those were

- Big Bucks
- Peddlers Cross
- Albertas Run

In general i'd say yes to your question.. as completly different track, different day and who knows how much has been taken out of a horse geared up in some of the most competitive races in the season.

Sucked in by the favs in the four big races, nothing standing out at big prices so just doubles and four fold I think.

Reckon Grandouet could be a back and lay inrunning bet for a decent profit, the way it going at Cheltenham with Barry sat still then found not alot could do same today.

If any of the fav's are beatable, what's beating them ?

Thing is i carnt see any other horse beating him. I fancied big bucks in the first race, but to be fair its not even worth putting on with them odds.

Baby Run 9/2 in the Fox hunters

Was running a big race again when unseating same again would go close today.

Get Me Out Of Here 10/1 EW and 9/4 place in the last.

Only just made it to Cheltenham after having the wind op which seemed to do it the world of good as he was back to his best, reckon he might start go on and improve like was expected after the 2nd to Menorah, don't think the 5lbs would stop it if the improvement is there got to have a massive place chance at least.

Mon Parrain @ 5/1 for tomorrows Topham Chase was impressive on debut jumped really well, has been schooled over national type fences at home and sits on a nice handicap mark based on its rating it ran to last time.
