There's £50,000 on offer in this weekend's free-to-play ITV7 and Dave Smith has the guide you need for the crucial races.
Paul Nicholls has a fine record in this race, having taken four of the last 10 renewals. He saddles GRAND SANCY here who ran a fine race in defeat behind the smart Fusil Raffles when last seen. Dan Skelton's Nube Negra will be a worthy rival and Summerville Boy made a pleasing chasing debut at Uttoxeter.
14:05 Aintree - Download The App At Virgin Bet Fillies' Juvenile Hurdle (Listed) (Class 1)
With minimal evidence on offer it could pay to side with those horses that have had a run. Alan King's Midnights' Gift will be near the top of the market but she only just scraped home on his first start. Her short head victory over BREAK THE RULES was not all it seemed as the winner had the use of the rail and the selection took a slightly longer way around. The form can be reversed.
14:25 Sandown Park - Jumeirah Hotels And Resorts December Handicap Hurdle (Listed) (Class 1)
Man Of Plenty is on the same mark as when he took this last year and could improve from recent performances, Song For Someone has been clobbered with an 11lb rise for his Fontwell success but SMARTY WILD may just keep improving to take this.
14:40 Aintree - Virgin Bet Price Boosts Many Clouds Chase (Grade 2) (Class 1)
A small but stellar field for this renewal and all eyes will be on the returns of NATIVE RIVER and Might Bite. The pair are no strangers to each other having been one-two in the 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup. The selection is Colin Tizzard's tough charge who will love the testing ground and can get the better of his old rival.
15:00 Sandown Park - Betfair Tingle Creek Chase (Grade 1) (Class 1)
A terrific renewal of this showpiece sees Defi Du Seuil and Politologue meet again. They are off level weights here and that will hurt the former most as he was getting 3lb at Cheltenham. However, it is UN DE SCEAUX who gets the nod. He looked as good as ever when last seen so can get his head in front yet again.
15:15 Aintree - Virgin Bet Grand Sefton Handicap Chase (National Course) (Class 2)
Fourteen runners and ultra competitive stuff. FLYING ANGEL is a Grade 1 chase winner and is expected to go up a further 3lb for his win at Ascot last time out. Though that victory was facile he should come on for the run and can get the better of Touch Kick and Gold Present.
15:35 Sandown Park - Betfair London National Handicap Chase (Class 2)
Although ROYAL VACATION doesn't have an impressive record around Sandown he showed up well in the Badger Ales Trophy last month when a good third. Aidan Coleman jumps off to ride Vinnie Lewis and he will be a strong rival with Classic Ben lurking on a dangerous mark.
