Aintree 9th March

[Stevet1859]

3:10 Aintree: Monet's Garden 2pts win 8/1 Bet365 The ground, trip, and course are all in Monet's Garden favour. The big question mark is whether he can keep producing the goods at twelve. He looked as good as ever at Ascot and while there are plenty of dangers, most of the other runners have their best form at two miles. Monet's Garden looks worth an interest at the price. 2:35 Aintree: Lenabane 2pts win 1pt place 12/1 Stan James Lenabane made an early departure at Cheltenham, but some of his form in Ireland in Grade 1's at Leopardstown before and after the New Year looks pretty solid. Not beaten far by Pandorama and Weapons Amnesty in December and Citizen Vic and Weapons Amnesty again in February. He will come in here relatively fresh and trainer Dessie Hughes has a 25% strike rate with his chasers at Aintree. Lenabane has been racing mainly on heavy ground and may improve for some better going.

Re: Aintree 9th March 2.00 Aintree Escort'men was a real under the radar runner for the Nicholls team and ran out a very impressive 16/1 winner at kempton didnt appear to be any fluke about it and if coming on from that should have a shout over a worrying fav who ran out a tough winner at cheltenham. 1pt win Escort'men 3/1 lads 2.35 Aintree Nearly all of these have had recent runs so hard to find one saved for the race so therefore gonna opt for Burton Point who was given a real gritty Mccoy ride after a few mistakes to grab 2nd in the RSA at cheltenham and certainly open to yet more yet! 1pt win burton point 9/4 vcbet 3.10 Aintree Forpadydeplasterer is nothing but consistent and after worries he wouldnt make Cheltenham he perhaps wasnt at his best but yet again stuck on for 2nd and could come on from that run. The other interesting runner is the veteran Monets Garden who has turned in a very profitable season in and sure to give his full effort yet again. 0.5pt e/w forpadydeplasterer 9/2 vcbet 0.25pt e/w monets garden 8/1 bet365 3.45 Aintree Private be looks a massive price at 33/1 having put a fair few good efforts together recently and although below perhaps his best certainly last time but if bouncing back and has gone well over these fences before and although wouldnt want ground drying out much more. 0.25pt e/w private be 33/1 lads
