Paul Kealy (Racing Post) Tips – Thursday 7th April 2022
Paul Kealy’s Aintree Day One Horse Racing Tips
2.55 Aintree – KEMBOY @ 9/2 with BetUK – Won this race in 2019 and at the age of 10 still has time on his side for another big run in the race. We know the track suits and even though he’s won just once from his last 11 races, but the return to Aintree – a course that he clearly likes – can spark this Willie Mullins runner back to form.
3.30 Aintree – MCFABULOUS (e/w) – @ 12/1 with BetUK – Didn’t get home last time out in the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham, so the drop back to 2m4f is a big plus. This Paul Nicholls is also a course winner here and the cheekpieces on for the first time are an interesting move.
4.05 Aintree – JETT – @ 11/4 with BetUK – Was 8th in the Grand National last year so that experience of the National Fences is a bonus. Is the clear top-rated in the this race too and the drop back to 2m5f will suit after not staying over further last time. The experienced Sam Waley-Cohen is the icing on the cake.
4.40 Aintree – DOLOS (e/w) – @ 10/1 with BetUK – Beat Frero Banbou last time out at Sandown by 4 lengths and despite being 3lbs worse off can uphold that form. Missed Cheltenham too, so will be fresh for this, while the Nicholls camp won this in 2012. Harry Cobden rides.
