Saturday 5th

1.20pm THE WILLIAM HILL TOP PRICE GUARENTEE HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 1) (PREMIER HANDICAP) 3m 1/2f

This race has cut up with all the non runners. It could have been clever to side with Jeriko Du Reponet before non runner pulled out. Of the remainders Catch Him Derry was eye-catching in the Pertemps coming late to grab third and a flatter track could see his style rewarded. Act of Authority should relish the step up in trip. Bill Joyce has some nice form from the Challow running third behind The New Lion. This is a no bet race for us but good luck if you do go in. 

1.55pm THE TURNERS MERSEY NOVICES’ HURDLE RACE (CLASS 1) (GRADE 1) 2m 4f

A race that would've been dominated by Lulamba who we were keen to take on. Our tip today can be found for members in our todays bets page. https://notanothertipster.com/todays-bets

2.30pm THE WILLIAM HILL HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 1) (REGISTERED AS THE FREEBOOTER HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE) (PREMIER HANDICAP) 3m 1f

This is not a betting race for us since the withdrawal of Myretown. Of the remaining horses I quite like Docpickedme - good win in the great Yorkshire and should be there abouts today at 13/2. Imperial Saint will be popular stepping back in to handicap company after trying graded races, 11/4 is a squeak short though. 

3.05pm THE LIVERPOOL HURDLE RACE (CLASS 1) (GRADE 1) 3m 1/2f

Another renewal of a long distance hurdle with the same horses - it doesn't get boring (honest)...

Teahupoo ran well in second and always gives a good account of himself. The wallpark is progressive and could be suited better to this flatter track. Home by the Lee is one that lots of people like and he was unlucky to unseat at Cheltenham but jumping errors are creeping in to his game. We have a selection in this race and you can find it here https://notanothertipster.com/todays-bets

4.00pm THE RANDOX GRAND NATIONAL HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 1) (PREMIER HANDICAP) 4m 2 1/2f

We have three Grand National selections at 25/1, 20/1 and 15/2. Find them here

5.00pm THE MAGHULL NOVICES’ STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 1) (GRADE 1) 2m

We found the winner of this race last year in Found a Fifty but we don't really fancy one today. The most likely winner is L'Eau du Sud but the price is short and there's some nice competition in Only by Night. The mare who Gavin Cromwell thinks a lot of and also Kalif du Berlais for the in form Nicholls team. Any of them could win this and it isn't worth taking a risk for us. If we were at the track we'd probably pick something but I'll sit tight and wait for our bumper bet. 

5.35pm THE WEATHERBYS NHSTALLIONS.CO.UK STANDARD OPEN NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE (CLASS 1) (GRADE 2) 2m 1f

Our bumper horse is here Not Another Tipster - Today's Bets
