POINTER - shrapnel e/w

 

Aintree 2.05 COKO BEACH @ 10/1  carries a big weight but was very impressive in the Thyestes last time, I'd have stamina and Going concerns about MANY of the others and have no doubt they won't be bottomed out at this stage and be no surprise to see only 3-4 finish. (Micheal) / It' interesting that Venetia runs CHAMBARD @ 14/1 at Aintree for the first time as an 11 year old and if it jumps round it could be a nice e/w value as all other boxes are ticked. I concur with Michael that I don't think many of these will be pushed in what could be very deep ground once chances have gone.  (Sky / PP / WH / Betway to 5th - rest to 4th - we'll settle to 4th but consider 5th options!)
