Syndicate Captain Cheltmental<\/a> has studied the second day of action at Aintree and given us his insights for the \u00a330,000 Win 6 Pool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13:45 \u2013 Handicap Hurdle<\/h3>\n

(Grade 3) (Class 1)<\/p>\n

There are a few obvious contenders here such as Brio Conti and Carnardier, with the latter more exciting than the former. However, I quite like the look of Espirit Du Large who looks to be well treated here.<\/p>\n

Tedham can defy a 6lb penalty to be on the premises and, at bigger prices, I think Three Musketeers & Lansdman could go well. Mount Mews will win whichever race he decides to actually race in so, at the long odds, he\u2019s likely to be he\u2019s worthy of a mention<\/p>\n

Selections \u2013 Espirit Du Large, Three Musketeers, Landsman, Tedham<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14:20 \u2013 Top Novices\u2019 Hurdle<\/h3>\n

(Grade 1) (Class 1)<\/p>\n

Trappy looking race but Supreme placed horses have a good record here so Itchy Feet deserves to be favourite. Nicky Henderson also has a good record here so Precious Cargo might progress past some of these and I think he\u2019ll enjoy the ground.<\/p>\n

Felix Desjy does need to be ridden from the front to show his best but he has a chance of doing that and Aramon is a good horse but he\u2019s starting to look exposed. Rouge Vif could play a part if handling the ground as I think this track and trip will be to his liking<\/p>\n

Selections \u2013 Precious Cargo, Rouge Vif, Itchy Feet<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14:50 \u2013 Mildmay Novices\u2019 Chase<\/h3>\n

(Grade 1) (Class 1)<\/p>\n

Topofthegame deserves to be an odds on shot and he\u2019s the most likely winner of this race. Lostintranslation is exciting trying this new trip and, if that is the key to him, then his form to date is very good. Mr Whipped is capable with a good round of jumping but I do worry whether he\u2019s quite up to this level<\/p>\n

Selections \u2013 Topofthegame, Lostintranslation<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15:25 \u2013 The Melling Chase<\/h3>\n

(Grade 1) (Class 1)<\/p>\n

Another competitive looking race but I\u2019d be happy to be harsh on a few of these to get to a verdict.<\/p>\n

Politologue has never been a horse I consider a top draw competitor and, although he won this race last year and put up a monster effort in the Champion Chase, I just can\u2019t have him at the price. Min could still prove that he\u2019s best at this trip and I don\u2019t think he had a hard race last month. There is also a concern that he\u2019s not quite as good as he once looked.<\/p>\n

Hell\u2019s Kitchen would have a huge chance if allowed to bowl along in front and if he does I\u2019d expect him to go close but Waiting Patiently can\u2019t be written off after that Ascot run and these conditions should suit. In fairness he\u2019s probably about the right price so he\u2019s not so much a value play but I do think he deserves another chance<\/p>\n

Selections \u2013 Waiting Patiently, Hell\u2019s Kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

16:05 \u2013 Topham Handicap Chase<\/h3>\n

(Grade 3) (Class 1)<\/p>\n

Horror of a race for me and it\u2019s hard to be confident about anything. Janika looks set to run well again though and San Benedeto comes here in good form. Born Survivor appears to have been set up for this race so that\u2019s worth noting and Call It Magic is worth a second look<\/p>\n

Selections \u2013 San Benedeto, Boen Survivor, Call It Magic<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

16:40 \u2013 Sefton Novices\u2019 Hurdle<\/h3>\n

(Grade 1) (Class 1)<\/p>\n

The comments will that reflect there are plenty with chances here but I think Emitom is the one they all need to beat.<\/p>\n

Downtown Getway does need to step forward and might be one for next season but I like the way he\u2019s progressed, albeit it not obviously. The Captains Inn is horse I think could be very good so he\u2019s overpriced for me and while Walk Away is hard to evaluate the more I watch his debut the more I like it<\/p>\n

Selections \u2013 Emitom, The Captains Inn, Walk Away<\/strong><\/p>\n
