Scroll down to find our most confident selections (NAP & NB) PLUS race-by-race picks for every race across all FIVE meetings.
NAP – Best selection of the evening
Aintree 3.35 Flooring Porter (15/8)
Kept pouring it on to defend his Stayers’ Hurdle crown at the Cheltenham Festival last month; jumping an asset and if he is in the same form here he will be hard to get past in the closing stages; the one to beat.
The NAP won again at Aintree on Friday so we head into Saturday chasing a hat-trick of winners. I still don’t think we’ve seen the best of FLOORING PORTER and he is hard to look past off the back of that dominant Stayers’ Hurdle victory last month. He jumped efficiently throughout and was never getting headed in the closing stages. He kept finding more and crossed the line with still more to give. It will be interesting to see if he gets an uncontested lead again but even so I think he’ll work his way there and have too much in the closing stages. Champ travelled up strongly at Cheltenham but finished a bit tamely and was beaten 4 lengths. Thyme Hill may well emerge as the main danger once more.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) WON YESTERDAY AND RUNS AT AINTREE AGAIN!
Aintree 4.15 Shan Blue (3/1)
Looked to be cruising to victory in the Charlie Hall before crashing out and while he disappointed in the Ryanair behind Allaho last month he looks to have leading claims now dropping into handicap company.
Cheltenham doesn’t look to suit SHAN BLUE so I’m happy to put a line through that disappointing run in the Ryanair last month. Before that he looked to be cruising to success in the Charlie Hall before taking a tumble. He hasn’t had much luck but dropping into handicap company for the first time could see him back in the winners enclosure. A mark of 148 likely underestimates him and this track and ground should be ideal. Oscar Elite ran a cracker when third to Corach Rambler in the Ultima last month and looks the most likely danger off just a 2lb higher mark. Tea Clipper finished fourth in that race despite having made mistakes so also enters calculations dropped a 1lb from that.
