CF probably the one to beat.
SDG is going to have better ground than Cheltenham.
Think Simply Ned might offer a bit of each way value. 2nd here to Balder last year and ? over most of themLast edited by Old Vic; 9 April 2015, 07:02 PM.

This is a cracking race, any one of half a dozen could win this.
Always been a huge Champagen Fever fan (not convinced connections have steered the horse in the right direction over the years, he should be winning Gold Cups) but couldn't back him at 100/30 against the class on offer here, wouldn't be falling off my chair if Al Ferof prevailed....

Al Ferof - no previous course win or place
SDG - has never performed on the track 384 around Aintree which is dreadful against the rest of his form
DC - 10L 2nd to Holywell last year but better over this trip and a better horse this year. Unlucky ? LTO - Shortlist
WT - C&D winner ( the only one). There are worse 25/1 shots but 12 now.
BS - won on his only previous visit to the course and can be forgiven Cheltenham (doesnt suit) - Shortlist
CC - Aintree form is 122 and he 2s behind Spirit Son and Sprinter but too many issues of late
JS - beaten 19 and 23 L on previous trips to track ( in lesser races) - passed over
SN - has a PU and 2 on previous Aintree visits. 2 was behind Balder last year. No G1 win.
CF - course debutant and missed Cheltenham. - Beaten by DC earlier this season when falling.- shortlist
I think Balder is probably the bet - similar to SC yesterday.
