Aintree
14,20 Uncle Bert 18/1 e/w WH five places, 14/1 others
14,55 Firefox 10/3 WH and bet365
16,05 Empire Steel 25/1 e/w Lads and Coral six places, 22/1 WH, 16/1 sky seven places
17,15 Brucio 9/1 e/w Lads and Coral five places, 7/1 sky six places

One of my favorite horses, Giovinco, is in the first race. Currently 9/1 and only two places, and although he looks like the outsider, I'm sure I won't leave him alone. Maybe I'll wait until tomorrow.

Edit: Last race 17,15.

Have done a couple e/w and in e/w multiples
2.20 Guard your dreams 40/1 - thought he might come good at cheltenham but have to persevere here
4.05 Richmond Lake 25/1 - Basing on last run at Aintree and who the trainer is - speculative as usual
4.05 Ciel De Neige - 66/1 yesterday - can't really understand it's price collapse but it is only a 9 year old who was going ok at the second last in the 2023 race but was rated 22 pounds higher - recent form means it deserved a drop but at yesterday's prices it was interesting - less so today

Away from Aintree

7.45 Dundalk-Humanitarian

Each Way @ 12-1 [Bet 365] 4 places
 
The Grade-1, Class-1, Novices' Hurdle at Aintree, (16:40), over an extended 3m on soft ground, gives the French-bred gelding, Dancing City, a chance to improve on his last run 28-days ago. Very smart Hurdler who needs a strong pace to give of his his best. Paul Townend rides for the one-and-only Willie Mullins stable.

11/2 best price early-doors, in most places on the ATR site.
 
Watching Racing TV when did they replace the real Dave Nevison with a thunderbirds puppet of him?
