Aintree, 13:50 - More to come from All In You
Warren Greatrex was successful with four of his seven runners over jumps last month and that's encouraging for the return to action of All In You who looks to have bigger performances in him over hurdles.
He swept from last to first when a ready winner of a handicap at Sandown last winter and ended the season with a creditable fourth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle behind Dedicated Hero.
All In You meets that rival on better terms here, is fit from the Flat and looks well treated heading the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings. Sean Bowen takes over in the saddle from brother James.

Aintree, 15:00 - Mirabad to build on hurdles return
The Haldon Gold Cup, transferred from Exeter's lost meeting, is the highlight of Aintree's card and this can go to Timeform top-rated Mirabad for Dan Skelton who was successful with Thistle Ask in last year's race.
The switch of tracks is particularly good news for Mirabad because he gained his career highlight over course and distance in April when springing a 50/1 surprise in the Maghull Novices' Chase.
A change to much more patient tactics evidently suited there and he made an encouraging return when second in a listed hurdle at Carlisle a fortnight ago, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag. He can build on that.

Aintree, 15:35 - Here Comes Georgie can follow up
Skelton can land a quick double - a bet that pays at around 11/26.50 - as new stable recruit Here Comes Georgie still looks on a good mark near the foot of the weights in this Premier Handicap where he heads the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings.
Here Comes Georgie had done all his winning previously at around two miles but, returning from a breathing operation, he made a successful stable debut from a reduced mark over three miles plus at Cheltenham.
Travelling strongly in rear, he quickly settled the issue once produced to lead between the final two fences before idling on the run-in, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag. He can make light of a 7 lb rise for that win.
