Aintree Day 1

2.20 Bo Zenith 1/2 pt ew @ 6’1 – Likes to bowl along and that sort of tactic is tailored made for this track , comes into this a bit of an unknown type having not been tried in Group company before ; but looks to have all the attributes needed for this level

2.55 Ahoy Senor 1pt win @ 11’4 – This is his track and time of year having scored at this meeting the past two years. Comes into this on the back of a fall at Cheltenham ( looked to be going well at the time ) which is somewhat out of character , so that can be overlooked

3.30 A not bet race for me as Constitution Hill should put these to the sword . A big guessing game as to what maybe second is not something I want to play at

4.05 Fier Jaguen 3/4 pt ew @ 5’1 firms offering 5 / 6 places (NAP) – Has demolished the competition this season in points scoring by vast amounts on all 3 runs ( last time out by 25l beating Notre Pari who was rated 135 over fences ) and in the other two races won by 60l & 70l horses like Looksnowtlikebrian ( rated 138 in prime ) & Pont Aven ( rated 140 in prime ) Is only 8 so is likely to still be improving too

4.40 Douglas Talking 1pt win @ 100’30 – Looks to have taken his form to another level this year with 2 impressive wins . Highly likely to have more to offer and should take some catching if jumping as well as before at Sandown
