Aintree Day 1 Tips

The curtain rises on the 2026 Aintree Grand National Festival on Thursday, kicking off three days of top-tier National Hunt racing. Coming hot on the heels of Cheltenham, this meeting always delivers a fascinating mix of returning festival runners and fresh contenders.

While Saturday’s Grand National steals the spotlight, Day 1 is stacked with quality - featuring the Aintree Bowl, Aintree Hurdle, and several ultra-competitive supporting races. With plenty of Cheltenham form lines on show, it’s a great day for punters looking to get stuck in.

Here’s a race-by-race breakdown along with our best bets for Thursday.

This opening contest has all the hallmarks of a proper puzzle, and I’m inclined to look beyond the obvious names in the market. MAESTRO CONTI is the one that makes most appeal, as his Cheltenham run reads better than the finishing position suggests.

He moved through that race with plenty of purpose but found himself short of room at a crucial stage, which ultimately halted his momentum. With a clearer run, he could have been much closer, and there’s a strong sense he’s still improving. Aintree’s layout may play more to his strengths too.

Minella Study is respected and should be well suited by the track, likely posing the biggest threat, while Selma De Vary has the talent but will need to conserve energy better if she’s to see things out more effectively here.

Favourites haven’t exactly dominated this race in recent years, so I’m more than happy to look for value elsewhere. KOKTAIL DIVIN fits the bill, particularly now he drops back in distance which should help him travel and finish his race more effectively.

There’s a sense he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet, and in a contest like this, that potential for further improvement can be a major edge.

Jax Junior and Mambonumberfive are capable on their day, but both arrive with something to prove, while Lulamba doesn’t look bombproof and could be worth taking on again if the race doesn’t unfold perfectly in his favour.

Strong link to Gold Cup form

JANGO BAIE comes into this on the back of a huge effort in the Gold Cup, where he was only beaten by a standout performer in what was a very strong race. That piece of form puts him firmly at the top of the pile here.

Replicating anything close to that level should make him the one they all have to beat, especially in a race that doesn’t look quite as gruelling as what he faced last time.

Impaire Et Passe appeals as the most likely to give him something to think about, whereas Spillane’s Tower may find this a step too far if the race turns into a proper test.

Hunter chases aren’t usually races to get heavily involved in, but BARTON SNOW brings the strongest recent form into this after his Cheltenham win.

He moved through that race with real authority and never looked in danger once things began to unfold, suggesting there was still something left in reserve. The nature of this track could suit him even better, which only strengthens his case.

Unexpected Party comes here in good nick and looks the obvious one to put up a fight, while Its On The Line isn’t far behind on the Cheltenham form and shouldn’t be ruled out either.

The step up in distance could unlock more from THE NEW LION, who shaped as though the minimum trip just found him out at Cheltenham. He wasn’t disgraced in the Champion Hurdle, but his strongest work came later on, hinting that this extra yardage is exactly what he’s been crying out for.

There’s still untapped potential there, and this looks a good opportunity for him to step forward again. He may well reverse form with Brighterdaysahead, especially if conditions aren’t ideal for that rival.

From a tactical angle, the race setup should suit him too, giving him every chance to be delivered at the right time.

This is the type of handicap where taking a swing at a price often pays off, and HIGHLANDS LEGACY looks the one who could outrun his odds.

He fits the mould for this race and comes in without much hype, which could work in his favour. If he delivers something closer to his best, he’s more than capable of getting involved at a decent price.

Sans Bruit is respected given last year’s success and has to be on the shortlist again, while Inthepocket is another who could easily bounce back and have a say if things fall right.

A solid-looking bumper to round things off, and PRINCESS DAY is the one that catches the eye most.

She’s done little wrong so far, arriving unbeaten and showing a good attitude in all her runs. There’s a strong chance she hasn’t reached her ceiling yet, and further improvement would make her hard to oppose.

Nan’s Choice is an interesting contender with upside, along with a few others in the field, but Princess Day sets the benchmark on what we’ve seen to date.
