Red Rum Chase

I think Astracad looks over priced for this one. Looks easily best off at the weight from those who contested the same race last year. Has a decent record at Aintree having also won a hurdle here. I don't believe he's showed his best this year yet having had a comeback run and a run on heavy ground.

Also a very speculative on Stagecoach Pearl. Didn't run too bad at Aintree when setting a pace which was far too strong over a trip too far. Hasn't shown anything since then but bits and pieces of form from last year show he may be well handicapped.

What's everyone else backing?
