Aintree Race 5 - William Hill Aintree Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race)

THE NEW LION (5) quickly made amends for the Newcastle fall securing a 1.5L victory in the G2 International Hurdle at Cheltenham before a 7L third in the G1 Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy over 3300m last month at the Cheltenham Festival. Likely to enjoy a return to 4000m. Leading player. BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD (6) is a previous G1 course and distance winner who landed the heavy ground 3200m G1 Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown before a 6.5L second at Cheltenham going 0.5L better than the top pick. Main danger. EL FABIOLO (2) represents trainer and jockey combination who have won last two renewals. Enjoyed the drop in grade last month and holds claims. Top-class mare GOLDEN ACE (7) was not disgraced when fifth in the aforementioned G1 Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Not discounted.

Second-up today. First-up after three months finished fifth of 9 runners at Cheltenham in the G1 Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy on March 10 over 3300m, 9 len behind Lossiemouth carrying 71kg at $13. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 1.5 len Newcastle in a G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle Race on November 29 over 3400m defeating Anzadam carrying 71kg at $23 in a jumps. Should run her race but needs more.
