TV TIPS (SATURDAY) – AINTREE FESTIVAL DAY 3 – GRAND NATIONAL
14:25 Aintree
The trio of Robbie Power, Colin Tizzard and the Potts family have been on fire over the past 48 hours at Aintree and it doesn’t look set to change here on day three. The well fancied and well talked about Finian’s Oscar arrives here undefeated after skipping the Cheltenham Festival. Despite a slight injury setback he’ll be fresher than most of his rivals and looks by far the one to beat.
I was massively impressed with the way that six year old grey Brio Conti

AINTREE FESTIVAL – DAY 2 (FRIDAY)
13:40 Aintree With so many runners and Cheltenham Festival form on the table this looks an absolute nightmare for punters to solve, further confused by the fact a couple of these have won the race before. Clondaw Kaempfer won this two years ago off a 3lbs higher mark, his recent form have been absolutely horrific but his yard had a winner here yesterday and his form when winning this before was pretty similar. Theinval took this last season off a 4lbs higher mark and his most

SUNDAY WEEKENDER
15:05 Leopardstown There’s some fantastic racing in Ireland today and it’d be criminal not to cover the showpiece race of the day. The action from Leopardstown looks set to be another prep for some of Willie Mullins’ super stars and its no exception as he saddles three of the five runners here. Nichols Canyon got the better of Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen when they met earlier in the season but the eight year old will no doubt strip fitter for that run. A return to winning

12:35 Lingfield Bromyard has only managed one win in five but finished second in the other four, behind some useful horses on their day. Trainer D M Simcock has been operating at a 40% win rate over the last two weeks and jockey Jamie Spencer has a 27% win rate when riding for the stable so the lightly raced four year old is the selection in our opening race. Francos Secret has won two from three over course and distance and ran a decent 3rd when last seen over 10 furlongs he

TV TIPS (SATURDAY)
13:50 Warwick The Betfred Mobile Hampton Novices’ Chase gets the TV action underway on Saturday and it is a fascinating listed contest. All the attention in the market will rightly be on the Graham Wylie owned Black Hercules who will likely go off as warm favourite for this one. The seven-year-old, who represents the juggernaut Willie Mullins yard, was highly impressive when romping to an easy success on his chasing debut.
