Thursday’s Best Bets
GRAND NATIONAL MEETING KICKS OFF ON THURSDAY! Racing from Ffos Las, Limerick, Taunton, Aintree, Gowran Park and Chelmsford. Daily Double pays 5/1!
Scroll down to find our most confident selections (NAP & NB) PLUS race-by-race picks for every race across all SIX meetings.
NAP – Best selection of the evening
Aintree 2.20 Pied Piper (11/10)
Made a winning start over hurdles beating Vauban at Punchestown before running out a very impressive winner at Cheltenham in January; excellent third to Vauban in the Triumph; hard to beat on form.
Despite being beaten into third in the Triumph last month PIED PIPER still retains plenty of potential and I think he can resume his progress here. He was beaten less than 3 lengths behind Vauban and Fil Dor and that isn’t form to pick holes in. He still remains open to further improvement over hurdles after just 3 starts and should prove a cut above these. This flat track should play to his strengths given how strongly he travels and he is hard to look past. Brazil was a gutsy winner of the Boodles and looks most likely to emerge as the danger. Petit Tonnerre is unbeaten having won both starts over hurdles in France and then winning at Market Rasen last time. This is a great deal tougher though.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) RUNS OVER JUMPS AT AINTREE ON THURSDAY!
Aintree 3.30 Zanahiyr (2/1)
Tough sort who has done little wrong this season bumping into the likes of Sharjah and Honeysuckle; big run in defeat again when third in the Champion Hurdle and this longer trip promises to suit; big shout.
I know ZANAHIYR is yet to make his mark at Grade 1 level but he has finished runner-up three times at the top level and with this extra yardage likely to suit he could reverse that Champion Hurdle form with Epatante. He digs deep off the bridle and might be staying on strongly when the others have cried enough. Epatante looked back to her best last month and has to be feared but might not be as effective up to this trip. Brewin’upastorm could only finish fifth in this behind Abacadabras last year and has enough to find despite some fairly consistent form recently. Monmiral is interesting on his course form but he looked poor in the Fighting Fifth and again let supporters down at Fontwell back in February.
Daily Double
The Daily Double consists of both the NAP and NB and is a great way of covering our two best bets of the day to maximise profit. They both run at Aintree on Thursday.
