Russellform Ramblings
Howard Johnson has his team in good form and the 12.30 at Aintree could well go to his Laborec, who was a very creditable 2nd to Crocodiles Rock last time. The main threat is likely to come from the former decent flat handicapper Another Bottle. Another from the Howard Johnson yard, Bewley’s Berry has shown a liking for the Aintree fences before and should go well in the Becher Chase. King Killone has an each way chance at around 12/1.
At Plumpton the 3 horses noted from our lists to follow all look to have good chances. At Navan my main fancies are Liskennett in the 12.55 and Merdeka in the 2.30.
