4.20 Aintree

Yanworth NAP 2/1 Skybet

Top class performer who disappointed in Champion Hurdle, should be suited by this big step up in trip, the one to beat. Always had a few problems with his jumping but this slower pace will help i'm sure. Alan King has not had the best of times but one or two of his have run better lately and can return to the winners enclosure with this one.

One For Arthur....flying the flag for Scotland with his St Andrews Cross body silks, Trained by Lucinda Russell from Perth the 8yo is a stayer and if stays out of trouble will surely be battling at the death, He's been a winner of three hurdle races, three chases and a point-to-point from 2m 4f to 3m 5f on ground varying from good to heavy,

The brought him here in December for >Betfred Becher Handicap Chase 3m 2f good to soft although 5th he was the one staying on another furlong he would have won , he finished only 3 lengths behind Vieux Lion Rouge winner with Highland Lodge 2nd, The Last Samuri 3rd and Ucello Conti 4th , They all go again in this race today and join One For Arthur ,

Jockey Derek Fox has just took over from Peter Buchanan in riding the horse in last three runs this season winning at Kelso 3m2f in October then that Aintree race in December when 5th and 84 days ago at Warwick 3m 5f soft another win,

3.40 Aintree: Betway Handicap Chase

I loved the run of Potters Legend at Cheltenham in the Kim Muir last month. This progressive first season Novice Chaser won a couple of races earlier this season and then finished with plenty of credit in better grades the next four times.

His Festival run clearly the most eye-catching one. He made a serious mistake three from home and nearly came down, but rallied incredibly strongly to get on terms with the leaders half a furlong out, to eventually fade into 4th place.

The ground and flatter track may suit him well here and if he can hold his form after a long season - and that is in my mind the most pressing question - he's got to be a serious contender.

Selection:
10pts win - Potters Legend @ 10/1 PP
