Constitution Hill collides with Lossiemouth again in the Aintree Hurdle as the Grand National meeting gets underway on Thursday, 3 April at the Liverpool venue.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the last of four Grade 1s on a packed card, Merseyside has more to offer than just the world&#8217;s greatest steeplechase. Besides the Aintree Hurdle, there&#8217;s the Manifesto Novices&#8217; Chase, Anniversary 4-Y-O Hurdle and Aintree Bowl. All of these are top-level contests.<\/p>\n<p>The supporting races to these on the Mildmay Course are the Red Rum Handicap Chase and a Grade 2 bumper for mares. Over the famous Grand National fences, meanwhile, amateur riders have their moment to shine in the Foxhunters.<\/p>\n<p>Like all major meetings, there&#8217;s a nice mix of action for punters to wager on through <a href=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/horse-racing\/\">horse racing betting sites<\/a> here. We have our own experts who follow the sport all year round on hand to give their thoughts on it all from Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>With a week less between Cheltenham and this event this season, that shouldn&#8217;t be forgotten. Here are the thoughts of our horse racing team about what&#8217;s on show on Merseyside this Thursday&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Aintree Festival 2025 Day 1 Preview<\/h2>\n<h3>1:45 &#8211; 2m 4f Grade 1 Manifesto Novices&#8217; Chase<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"FULL RACE: Impaire Et Passe pips Bob Olinger and survives inquiry at Aintree | ITV Racing\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7jJH6FkU2xE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11289 alignright\" title=\"Simon Munir and Isaac Souede silks\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Simon_Munir_and_Isaac_Souede.png\" alt=\"Simon Munir and Isaac Souede silks\" width=\"129\" height=\"200\" \/>Two previous course Grade 1 hurdling winners catch the eye in the opener.\u00a0<strong>Jango Baie\u00a0<\/strong>had a very hard race when just getting up in the Arkle at Cheltenham, so will surely improve for stepping up in trip. Those placed behind Ballyburn at the Dublin Racing Festival arrive fresher, however.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0<strong>Croke Park\u00a0<\/strong>seems to want a stiffer stamina test than Aintree&#8217;s Mildmay Course can provide,\u00a0<strong>IMPAIRE ET PASSE<\/strong> could well reverse Leopardstown form on Merseyside. Willie Mullins&#8217; charge must jump better than he did that day, but also boasts an excellent record in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>Impaire Et Passe has ground to make up on re-opposing Gordon Elliott runner Croke Park, but that one didn&#8217;t act around this venue last term. Of the others, lightly-raced\u00a0<strong>Gidleigh Park\u00a0<\/strong>could be anything over fences still and has seen his Windsor win franked by Caldwell Potter in the meantime. <strong>Rubaud<\/strong>, meanwhile, can confirm Pendil form from Kempton with <strong>Boombawn\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Mark Of Gold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>2:20 &#8211; 2m 1f Grade 1 Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BenJone04644251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BenJone04644251<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benpauling1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@benpauling1<\/a> land the Grade 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ladbrokes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ladbrokes<\/a> Adonis Juvenile Hurdle in the shape of Mambonumberfive, who found the right tune today, all out towards the line \ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nu8y11WbiH\">pic.twitter.com\/nu8y11WbiH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kempton Park Racecourse (@kemptonparkrace) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kemptonparkrace\/status\/1893308289951080711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12369 alignright\" title=\"Mambonumberfive silks\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Mambonmberfive_silks.png\" alt=\"Mambonumberfive silks\" width=\"128\" height=\"200\" \/>Official ratings don&#8217;t always tell the story with these young horses, and\u00a0<strong>MAMBONUMBERFIVE<\/strong> has been saved for the Aintree Festival in 2025 by Ben Pauling. The Adonis winner from Kempton can capitalise on the fact that those in the frame from the Triumph Hurdle sidestep Liverpool completely.<\/p>\n<p>Mambonumberfive beat a subsequent winner cosily last time out. He will need to jump more fluently, however. Unbeaten Dan Skelton inmate\u00a0<strong>Live Conti<\/strong>, also saved for this, didn&#8217;t beat much at Wetherby. Three stables have double representation with Harry Derham joining Irish handlers Joseph O&#8217;Brien and Willie Mullins in saddling a couple.<\/p>\n<p>Off 13lb better terms than their Fred Winter meeting,\u00a0<strong>Murcia\u00a0<\/strong>could well reverse form with\u00a0<strong>Puturhandstogether<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>Wendrock\u00a0<\/strong>split that pair at Cheltenham, but only has a 6lb pull at the weights with the winner.\u00a0<strong>Naturally Nimble\u00a0<\/strong>is the other O&#8217;Brien runner laid out for this.<\/p>\n<p>Mambonumberfive and Live Conti apart, the home team may struggle here. Both of Derham&#8217;s horses could be anything, but lack graded form.\u00a0<strong>Gibbs Island\u00a0<\/strong>pulled up at Cheltenham, meanwhile, but has the beating of\u00a0<strong>Give It To Me Oj<\/strong> on their Haydock run.<\/p>\n<h3>2:55 &#8211; 3m 1f Grade 1 Golden Miller Chronograph Bowl Chase<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"What a race!

The field of eight includes a number of horses that skipped Cheltenham with <strong>Grey Dawning\u00a0<\/strong>one to note. Skelton&#8217;s charge has only managed a Listed success since stepping into open company, however.<\/p>\n<p>Irish raiders\u00a0<strong>Spillane&#8217;s Tower\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Gaelic Warrior<\/strong> command respect, despite the latter&#8217;s enigmatic status. Unexposed over this trip, however, is\u00a0<strong>STAGE STAR<\/strong>. Despite a poor individual record on Merseyside, trainer Paul Nicholls has won this race a record six times.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Star ran a blinder when runner-up in the Cotswold Chase on Festival Trials Day. If reproducing that run over a similar distance on this easier track, he should go well. Mullins also runs\u00a0<strong>Embassy Gardens<\/strong>, who like Gaelic Warrior didn&#8217;t go to Cheltenham.<\/p>\n<p>Those who competed at the big meeting last month may actually have the most to prove. Venetia Williams&#8217; <strong>Djelo\u00a0<\/strong>ran really poorly in the Ryanair Chase, while Scottish raider\u00a0<strong>Ahoy Senor\u00a0<\/strong>fell in the Gold Cup with\u00a0<strong>The Real Whacker\u00a0<\/strong>finishing a non-staying fifth.<\/p>\n<h3>3:30 &#8211; 2m 4f Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"FULL RACE &amp; REACTION: Constitution Hill v Lossiemouth in the Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dCDNDpIj8Vk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11102 alignright\" title=\"Ricci silks\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ricci.png\" alt=\"Ricci silks\" width=\"129\" height=\"200\" \/>And so to the main event on day one of the Aintree Festival in 2025 with <strong>LOSSIEMOUTH<\/strong> out to avenge Kempton defeat by <strong>Constitution Hill<\/strong> from Boxing Day. Both suffered falls in recent times, but the trip is optimum for the Mullins mare. Lossiemouth looked in a different league to her fellow females at Cheltenham.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to discount Constitution Hill, because he keeps bouncing back, but he looked at his least convincing when winning this race two years ago. The others play for third place, if both market principals stand up, so Martin Pipe heroine <strong>Wodhooh\u00a0<\/strong>looks best of the rest. With an unbeaten record over hurdles for Elliott, she commands respect.<\/p>\n<p>As for the remainder, they all receive something prize money wise for completing. Gary &amp; Josh Moore&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Salver<\/strong>, placed over this trip a few times this term, and Skelton mare\u00a0<strong>Take No Chances\u00a0<\/strong>are the only others with a high enough rating for realistic hopes of a top four finish.<\/p>\n<h3>4:05 &#8211; 2m 5f Class 2 Foxhunters&#8217; Open Hunters&#8217; Chase<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"FULL RACE: Famous Clermont hands Will Biddick first win in Foxhunters&#039; at Aintree\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3j11LxQUweY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12373 alignright\" title=\"Famous Clermont silks\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Famous_Clermont_silks.png\" alt=\"Famous Clermont silks\" width=\"129\" height=\"200\" \/>It makes sense to concentrate on those with experience of the Grand National fences. A few fit the bill returning to the Aintree Festival in 2025 with 2023 winner\u00a0<strong>FAMOUS CLERMONT <\/strong>preferred. Christopher Barber saddled him to a Point success under James King, who keeps the ride, on his prep run and the forecast sound surface promises to suit.<\/p>\n<p>Famous Clermont has old rival\u00a0<strong>Bennys King <\/strong>at the grand old age of 14 to contend with again. Skelton&#8217;s veteran has two seconds in the Foxhunters these last couple of seasons. Like Mullins mount <strong>Annamix<\/strong>, now a 12-year-old, Father Time may be catching up with them both, though.<\/p>\n<p>At bigger odds,\u00a0<strong>Percussion\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Senior Citizen\u00a0<\/strong>both boast plenty of runs around the course. Pat Doyle recruit\u00a0<strong>Lifetime Ambition\u00a0<\/strong>didn&#8217;t get far on his only previous start over the famous fences, but could be dangerous. Other market principals lack that experience, though.<\/p>\n<p>Into this category go Mildmay Grade 1 novice hurdle winner <strong>My Drogo\u00a0<\/strong>and Elliott&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Willitgoahead<\/strong>, third in the Cheltenham equivalent of this. As an amateur jockeys only race, it is hard to have any strong fancies but Derek O&#8217;Connor rides\u00a0<strong>Presentandcounting\u00a0<\/strong>for Donald McCain.<\/p>\n<h3>4:40 &#8211; 2m Red Rum Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap)<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sans Bruit punted into 5\/1 from 14\/1 wins the Red Rum Handicap at Aintree!<\/p>\n<p>An important \u00a356,270 added to the trainer\u2019s title tally for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Betfair?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Betfair<\/a> ambassador <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFNicholls?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PFNicholls<\/a> \ud83d\udc4f<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hwUB0CfPSO\">pic.twitter.com\/hwUB0CfPSO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Betfair Racing (@BetfairRacing) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BetfairRacing\/status\/1778450959611412903?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12375 alignright\" title=\"Sans Bruit silks\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sans_Bruit_silks.png\" alt=\"Sans Bruit silks\" width=\"129\" height=\"200\" \/>Not a vintage renewal by any means, but that means last year&#8217;s winner\u00a0<strong>SANS BRUIT <\/strong>could well retain his crown at the Aintree Festival in 2025. Nicholls&#8217; charge has the advantage of running from the exact same mark, but not from out of the handicap this time. Sans Bruit shaped well when third in both the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter and the Hurst Park around Ascot in the autumn.<\/p>\n<p>A repeat of either of those runs should see him go close. Evan Williams has also won this in recent years, so Chepstow scorer\u00a0<strong>Dr T J Eckleburg\u00a0<\/strong>could go well if translating that form to this very different track. Those towards the top of the weights make very little appeal, especially those subject to a hard race in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham last month.<\/p>\n<p>Henry De Bromhead has enjoyed a couple of Red Rum victories, so\u00a0<strong>The Folkes Tiara\u00a0<\/strong>commands respect despite being a whole stone higher in the weights than when second the last day.\u00a0<strong>Petit Tonnerre\u00a0<\/strong>isn&#8217;t the most fluent of jumpers, but could be dangerous with a clear round.<\/p>\n<p>Also at the foot of this trappy handicap are McCain entrant\u00a0<strong>Galunggung\u00a0<\/strong>and Samuel Drinkwater&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Rath Gaul Hill<\/strong>. Both needed recent successes to get into this. The latter is 3lb out of the handicap, but Sam Twiston-Davies slims down to keep the ride.<\/p>\n<h3>5:15 &#8211; 2m 1f Grade 2 Nickel Coin Mares&#8217; Bumper<\/h3>\n<p>You never can put one up in bumpers with much confidence, but the Aintree Festival of 2025 has surely been the target for\u00a0<strong>SEO LINN\u00a0<\/strong>since her Listed success at Cheltenham. Paddy Twomey is a dab hand with his mares and it looks significant that this one goes in this graded race.<\/p>\n<p>Seo Linn readily accounted for subsequent winners Siog Geal and\u00a0<strong>Strong Run\u00a0<\/strong>when last in action. As well as the latter, Fergal O&#8217;Brien runs <strong>Highland Haven<\/strong>, who meets her stable companion on Merseyside off 4lb better terms from Warwick. The yard also has\u00a0<strong>Blue Betty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>An even bigger danger may be\u00a0<strong>Charisma Cat\u00a0<\/strong>for Alan King. After just failing to overhaul David Pipe&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Kingston Queen\u00a0<\/strong>at Market Rasen, she scored around Sandown confirming form with the third.<\/p>\n<p>For what official ratings are worth in a bumper, Derham inmate\u00a0<strong>Jackie Hobbs\u00a0<\/strong>tops them after three career wins. She hasn&#8217;t raced left-handed yet, however.\u00a0<strong>Betty&#8217;s Daisy\u00a0<\/strong>shares a sire with Jackie Hobbs and won her only start for Pauling impressively, so has claims too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aintree Festival of 2025 has the big rematch on its opening day we all hoped to see at Cheltenham last month.
