13:25 Aintree

I don’t often have a bet in these veteran races but NESTOR PARK does catch the eye here for Ben Pauling. He impressed me winning at Newbury last year and has held his form well in the main since. He was last seen finishing third to Arizona Cardinal which was a good effort and this is no tougher so he should be going close.

Boldmere has won 2 of his last 3 and showed a good attitude at Fakenham. He usually needs his first run back but still has to be feared. Jimmy The Digger bled from the nose when pulling up at Cheltenham. His previous form would entitle him to be bang there though so if bouncing back he would have a chance as well.
