Aintree Race 2 - William Hill Manifesto Novices' Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race)

LULAMBA (4) should improve for the step up to 4000m after his third-place finish in the G1 Arkle Novices Chase at Cheltenham. Highly impressive in the G1 Henry VIII Novices Chase at Sandown in December and G2 Game Spirit Chase at Newbury. Class horse in the race. BLUEKING D'OROUX (1) won the G2 Rising Stars Novices Chase over the distance in October. Contender with conditions in his favour. JAX JUNIOR (2) is respected on form of his G2 Pendil Novices Chase victory in February. KOKTAIL DIVIN (3) could appreciate a shorter trip after his 10L sixth in the G1 5029m Brown Advisory Novices Chase. MAMBONUMBERFIVE (5) deserves respect despite a disappointing latest effort in the G2 3250m Kingmaker Novices Chase.
