He has improved with every run this year, won 3 including the listed race which was rerouted to Market Rasen and just got beat in a Grade 2. The trip should be fine and he\u2019s an improving sort of horse so we\u2019re hopeful for a big run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.00pm Shiskin &#8211; Doom Bar Maghull Novices&#8217; Chase (Grade 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit back and watch Shishkin! He\u2019s the best 2m Novice chaser we\u2019ve seen this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.35pm Thyme Hill &#8211; Ryanair Stayers Hurdle (Grade 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great race. I think it will be between Thyme Hill, who missed Cheltenham, and Paisley Park \u2013 they are the stand-out horses. I have a slight preference for Thyme Hill as he might be that bit fresher having not been to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/horse-racing\/cheltenham-festival\/\">Cheltenham<\/a> but there\u2019s not much between them as we saw at Ascot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4:15&nbsp;Snow Leopardess \u2013  Handicap Chase (Grade 3)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s done nothing wrong all year \u2013 again, she\u2019d want a bit of rain. Got Happygolucky in there who finished 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in the Ultima but this mare finished 4<sup>th<\/sup> in the 3m6f National Hunt Challenge Cup at Cheltenham and she\u2019s not run a bad race all year. She has a nice weight so you\u2019d be hopeful for a big run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5:15&nbsp;Lake View Lad \u2013 Grand National<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ride Lake View Lad but I think Trevor\u2019s other horse, Cloth Cap has a massive chance. I also like the chances of Takingrisks \u2013 he\u2019s a Scottish National winner, he jumps and stays, should love the ground and has had a nice preparation for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6:20&nbsp;Fruit N Nut \u2013 Weatherbys Standard Open<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s done nothing wrong, was 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in a point to point and has won his two bumpers. This is going to be a lot harder and his price probably reflects that, but he\u2019s a grand horse and deserves to take his chance. Obviously, you\u2019ve got some nice-looking horses in there \u2013 Nicky Henderson\u2019s Balco Coastal was visually very impressive in an AW bumper but I was very impressed with Olly Murphy\u2019s Go Dante and I know Aidan thinks a lot of him. I\u2019ve won on Parramount \u2013 he\u2019s a horse I like a lot and is younger half-brother to Snow Leopardess. There are plenty of winners in the race and I think it will be a great race to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brian\u2019s Saturday Picks:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>13:45<\/td><td>Polish<\/td><td><code>12\/1<\/code>*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>14:25<\/td><td>Minella Drama<\/td><td><code>9\/1<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15:00<\/td><td>Shiskin<\/td><td><code>2\/13<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15:40<\/td><td>Thyme Hill<\/td><td><code>9\/4<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16:20<\/td><td>Snow Leopardess<\/td><td><code>10\/1<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>17:15 Grand National<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cloth Cap \/ Takingrisks<\/strong><\/td><td><code>9\/2<\/code> \/ <code>22\/1<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18:15<\/td><td>Go Dante<\/td><td><code>10\/1<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>*All odds correct at time of writing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand National Day!
