Aintree Race 2

William Hill Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (Gbb Race)

Stake: $152,214

WADE OUT (16) defied a big penalty in a novices hurdle at Wetherby and could be suited by this track on handicap debut trained by Olly Murphy. It would be foolish to ignore KOPECK DE MEE (9) despite his disappointing debutante effort at Cheltenham last month. Looked progressive winning in France prior and can easily rediscover best for Willie Mullins. Nicky Henderson trains IMPOSE TOI (2) who posted an excellent effort when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces tackling a valuable handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last month. Consider once more. STEEL ALLY (3) might go well on the back of his second-place finish in the G2 National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell. BE AWARE (8) remains of interest eased slightly in trip maintaining an unexposed profile.

Second-up today. Last outing finished second of 26 starters at Cheltenham on March 12 over 4200m, 3 len behind Jimmy Du Seuil carrying 71kg at $7.50. At only start last preparation won by 1.3 len Newbury on November 30 over 4100m defeating Guard The Moon with 73.5kg at $5 in a hurdle. Has to be considered off a higher mark.

Second-up today. First-up after 10 months finished seventh of 16 runners at Naas on March 9 over 3900m, on slow going 12 len behind Jump Allen with 75.5kg at $11. Previously second-up finished fourth of 23 starters at Punchestown in the LR on May 4 over 4100m, slow track; 1.3 len behind Chapeau De Soleil carrying 70kg at $29. This is more competitive so improvement needed.

Second-up today. First-up after 11 months finished 20th of 24 runners at Cheltenham on March 14 over 4100m, 52 len behind Wodhooh carrying 71kg at $3.50. Previously second-up to post a big 15 len win. Nantes on April 6 over 3500m on heavy track defeating Azubah carrying 68kg at $1.60 in a hurdle. Forgive first-up failure. Previously a Listed winner in France and could bounce back.

Last run finished second of 17 runners at Sandown Park on March 8 over 3200m, 0.5 len behind Go Dante with 67kg at $8. Run before finished sixth of 14 runners at Windsor on January 17 over 3200m, slow track; 3.5 len behind Secret Squirrel with 67kg at $8.50. Continues to make headway. Well worth a try upped in trip.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up finished 12th of 17 runners at Wetherby on February 1 over 3900m, slow track; 25 len behind Mr Bramley with 72.5kg at $19. Second run from a spell finished third of 15 starters at Uttoxeter on March 15 over 4000m, 5 len behind Hidden History with 72.5kg at $26. This is much tougher.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last run finished second of 15 runners at Uttoxeter on March 15 over 4000m, 3.5 len behind Hidden History carrying 73kg at $4.30. Race before won by 2.75 len Market Rasen on March 4 over 3300m defeating Fidendum with 75.5kg at $1.10 in a hurdle. Consistent enough but this is harder.
