Aintree
1.55 This is a competitive race to start of the Aintree card. Karinga Dancer represents Harry Fry. This one is a chaser in the making and is probably best over a bit further but he has speed for this trip and is a contender. One slight concern may be that he is yet to win at a left handed track. Ifandbutwhynot has won 3 times over hurdles but is another whose future will be over fences. Special Catch is another embryo chaser but he has some good form over hurdles. He has gone well fresh before and with showers forecast this soft ground horse just gets the vote.
3.05 Saint Are is well handicapped and has a very good record at Aintree. He is my selection although he would not want the ground any worse that good to soft.
5.20 Regal Encore was runner up in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March and loosk a top prospect for hurdles.
Chepstow
1.50 Doing Fine, a points winner, was second in a Fontwell bumper on his initial run for Rebecca Curtis. He looks to have a future over timber.
2.25 Just a Par has the potential to be a star and should win this.
3.00 Ballinvarrig ran well enough at Uttoxeter last month to suggest he is up to winning a race like this.
Stratford
5.05 Doctor Harper
