Aintree Thursday Tips: Who are the bankers?
Grey Dawning – Manifesto Novices’ Chase
GREY DAWNING put in a remarkable jumping display to win the Grade 1 Turners Novices’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last time out.
He was most impressive over 3 miles at Warwick when winning the Grade 2 Hampton Novices' Chase so it is interesting that connections are keeping him over the intermediate distance for the Manifesto Novices’ Chase on Thursday at Aintree.

Sir Gino - Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle Betting
SIR GINO should be up to winning the Anniversary 4YO Juvenile Hurdle if the Henderson yard can run up to scratch. Triumph 2nd Kargese meets him; however, she has now had three hard runs in a row and she was a forward filly given her French experience.
Sir Gino comes here fresh after winning easily on Cheltenham Trials day and I thought Milan Tino ran well in the Boodles to boost the form. Sir Gino gave him 5lb and beat him 11 lengths that day and, although he has to give Kargese weight, he can make use of his freshness to win this.
Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle Betting
| Runner | % Bets |
|---|---|
| Sir Gino | 65% |
| Kargese | 15% |
| Nurburgring | 10% |
| Kalif Du Berlais | 6% |
| Intellotto | 4% |
