Early Dec's through today

A few interesting ones

I quite like Eldorado Allen in the bowl if he's the right price and zanahiyr in the Aintree hurdle

Brazil and Pied piper look the standouts in the 4yo race if turning up

The manifesto looks a terrible renewal and they must be tempted to run bravemansgame
 
Probably come back and bite me but Elliott looks well out of form recently, early start to season catching up?

EDIT - beautiful timing by me as Gordie wins the 2:55 at Ayr:excitement: not particularly impressive though and that's his 1st winner in about a fortnight

Doubt he's running any good horses since Cheltenham though?

The worry about zanahiyr is definitely that he's already had 5 races this season
 
I make a habit from backing horses at Aintree that struggle after a tough race Cheltenham but I can't help but feel Protektorat could be a class above the rest in the bowl. 3/1 the only price I can see at the moment. Edit: 7/2 with the second... Hopefully someone goes 4s!

In the conditions at least... Appreciate some of the others have smart from at their specialist tracks.

Don't like zanahiyr at all at 2/1

Monmiral looks too big at 12/1 injured first run of the season and Nicholls was clear last time was a prep run and unsurprisingly he cruised into the race before getting tired

this has been his target all year and im very tempted
 
…..appreciate if archie can confirm if Kemboy is an intended runner in the Bowl?
 
My old favourite Adagio getting another shot at Epatante :excitement:

Monmiral does look a potential player though on his run in the juvenile hurdle at this meeting last year.
 
If Gordon fancied confirming PP will be aimed here that's one hell of a lump on job at 6/4
 
….Dashing Perk @ 28-1 (with boost) my early dart in the Foxhunters. Hampered and fell at the first last year when fancied, I understand this has been the target.

Taken the 12/1 on monmiral, I'd have him more like a 6/1 shot personally

Epatante and Zanahiyr way too short

…that’ll do me, he’s always been a favourite of mine & we know Aintree suits.

I wouldn't put you off 10/1 as an ew price. PP's 13/2 more realistic.

….already took that 10-1 & popped him in a few e/w Thursday doubles, I did notice he was only 13/2 with PP.

(Edit; into 8-1 with Hills, best price 9-1 with 365).

Is bravemansgame likely to go for the manifesto? Looks a really weak race

It's so weak Nicholls might think he can win it with pic dorhy

They will surely be tempted to run BMG though against those second raters in a ?68,000 race
 
Is the 3 mile novice on the Friday likely to be any stronger? Think he'll go to that at Pic will run Thursday
 
….no idea if Espion du Chenet is an intended runner in the Red Rum but 33-1 offered by 365 is stand-out given 16-1 in places.

(Edit; the trainer is a Merseyside lady with an Irish father. She trains in Ireland. Indication from this article is Aintree is on the agenda, probably more sentiment than anything else but won really nicely last time & could be worth a little interest).

One of my favourite days of the year but the card doesn't look brilliant to me. The Manifesto looks awful.

Not a load of Irish horses entered but Fakir D'oudaries is of interest if he comes over for the Bowl. Red Rum looks good though - love that race.
