14.20 aintree

cracking 20f h,cap hurdle  20 plus  runners and obviously loads with chances ,most of the top yard represented from  both sides of the water but one has caught my eye at a decent price and this may have been a long term  plan . paul nicholls runs 2 with stable jock harry cobden  on inthewaters who is shorter in the betting and the seemingly 1st string for the yard obviously should run well but the one who interests me much more is SONGININO  who finished a good 3rd in this last year giving weight to the 1st 2 , a c & d winner in december carrying 12 stone then out the back in the lanzarote off a revised mark of 143 he was then pulled up in the martin pipe at the festival off the same mark .runs off 141 here but good young claimer takes off 5 pound and if i have this right leaves him a pound lower than when he won here in december best form seems to be with plenty of give and nicholls knows what it takes to win these big field handicaps as said earlier this looks like a plan with the kid up and the claim . plenty of luck needed in these big field h,caps but the yard won the pertemps final  with the same connections monmiral at the festival in march . slys paying 7 places ew if ya can get on with them ,only let me have £4 ew but got plenty on with other firms and will probably go in again tommorow when bog kicks in .
SELECTION SONGININO 20/1 EW 6 PLACES ,SLYS 20/1 7 PLACES GOOD LUCK OPINIONS ENCOURAGED.
