The three most popular bets for Friday's racing at Aintree.
Jonbon - Melling Chase
The most popular selection for Friday at Aintree is one of the high profile Cheltenham Festival absentees for Nicky Henderson, JONBON.
This son of Walk In The Park bids to overcome his last time out defeat in the Grade 1 Clarence House when sent off at odds of 1/4. His jumping let him down that day and he now steps up in trip to 2m 4f for the first time in his career.
The issues in the Henderson yard are less of a concern after Sir Gino’s win on Thursday. Jonbon has taken 50% of the bets on the Melling Chase through oddschecker.

Mystical Power - Top Novices' Hurdle
MYSTICAL POWER is the second most backed horse for Friday at the Aintree Festival.
Second in the Supreme at Cheltenham, Road to Cheltenham is backing him to go one better now that Slade Steel has been kept back for the Punchestown Festival.
He travelled like the best horse in the race four weeks ago, looking like the winner all over before he was outstayed up the famous Cheltenham hill.
He has been backed in 46% of the betslips for the Top Novices’ Hurdle.
Kateira - William Hill Handicap Hurdle
KATEIRA is the third most backed horse for Friday at Aintee.
Kateira, who kicks off today's ITV7 racing tips from Architect in the 14:20, only found one too good when she finished second in a Grade 1 race over course and distance at this meeting last year.
More than 15% of the oddschecker community have backed her to come out on top in a stacked William Hill Handicap Hurdle.
