Aintree Festival Bankers – Day Three (Saturday 9th April 2022)

EDWARDSTONE @ 8/15 with 888Sport
Race: 3.00 Poundland Maghull Novices’ Chase
Trainer: Alan King

Edwardstone bolted up in the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham last time out and with 20 of the last 26 winners of this contesting that Festival race last time, that’s a decent stat ahead of his chance. That win was his fifth in a row over fences and the manner of victory last time out suggests there’s still more improvement to come.

With this race also looking a bit weaker than the Arkle and the fact this 8 year-old has decent course form – has won here over hurdles – then it’s hard to find faults in his chance here.

FLOORING PORTER @ 7/4 with 888Sport
Race: 3.35 Liverpool Hurdle

Trainer: Gavin Cromwell

Successfully defended his Stayers’ Hurdle crown at the Cheltenham Festival last month and he’s tying to land a famous double here at Aintree. Has never run in this race, but his forceful front-running style looks sure to suit the flat Aintree track and having beaten off Thyme Hill by 2 3/4 lengths last time can be expected to have their ones measure again.
