Aintree

Tomorrow, April 5, 2025HurdleClass 13m

TIMMY TUESDAY has won both his handicap starts to date, the latest when clocking a decent timefigure over 2½m at Down Royal. He's totally unexposed as a stayer and there could be more improvement to come tackling 3m for the first time. Dan Skelton arrives with a strong hand in his bid for a hat-trick in this race, and Catch Him Derry may be the pick having come from an unlikely position to finish third in the Pertemps final. Bo Zenith looks interesting tried in headgear over this longer trip.

    Verdict
    Won first 3 starts over hurdles, including a Grade 2. Struggled to reach those heights at the end of last season/start of this season but confirmed promise of Pertemps qualifier third when runner-up in the Final in first-time cheekpieces. Lightly-raced and could well have a big handicap in him.

    Won 3 of his first 4 handicaps and has found even more improvement in recent starts, landing a Exeter Pertemps qualifier in February prior to an excellent third in the Final, coming from further back than the pair that beat him. Leading player for trainer who has won last two renewals of this race.

Shaped second-best when third in the Grade 1 Challow in December but found less than looked likely when third at Cheltenham (20.2f) the following month. Interesting upped to 3m in first-time tongue-tie.

    Verdict
    2-2 in handicaps, showing much improved form winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good) 19 days ago, scoring comfortably having travelled well, his performance backed up by a solid timefigure. Shapes as though he could be even better at 3m. Unexposed and merits serious consideration.

    Verdict
    Won twice and second in Grade 1 at this venue as a juvenile for Gary Moore. Proved he retained all his ability on first start for Nicky Henderson but hasn't justified market support in two subsequent runs, travelling less fluently than normal. On a fair mark if longer trip/headgear do the trick.

    Verdict
    Won a remarkable 6 handicaps on the trot between March and November last month. Improved when unlucky to be denied a 7-timer at Ascot in December and might have won again but for a final flight blunder at Kempton (21f) last time. Hasn't reached his limit yet and there could be more to come over 3m.

Further improvement not ruled out.

    Lightly-raced but talented mare, returned from absence to win handicaps at Cheltenham and Lingfield (23f) last winter. Off a further 13 months prior to shaping much better than the bare result in the Martin Pipe, possibly doing too much too soon. Respected for trainer seeking hat-trick in this race.

    Verdict
    Back to very best following wind surgery when winning readily at Newbury and maintained that form when hitting the frame in a pair of 3m handicaps, typically ridden patiently. Never threatened under those tactics when disappointing in the Coral Cup (21f) but has place claims if this is run to suit.

    Bumper winner and went 2-3 in novice hurdles.

May well see the best of him over fences.

Strong-travelling sort could be suited the demands of a big-field handicap. Respected.

In good heart when third on the Flat final run of last season and could be a live outsider having gone well fresh before.

    Had been fairly consistent for current yard, finishing a promising fourth of 12 in a decent handicap at Windsor (24f, good to soft) on penultimate run, but well-held at Sandown in testing conditions in February, the ground and quick turnaround possibly against him. Could bounce back after a break.
