'She relished the test of jumping the National fences and has had a nice prep' - Harry Wilson takes on Saturday's big races
Our tipster marks your card for every contest at Sandown and all eight races live on ITV4
Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all seven races from Sandown on Saturday, and the three races live on ITV4 from Aintree.
12.10 Sandown
Betfair Exchange Claremont Novices' Hurdle (Listed), 2m
Harry's tip: Sober Glory
Sober Glory extended his unbeaten record under rules to four when comfortably justifying odds-on favouritism with a 12-length romp on his hurdling debut at Chepstow last month. It's hard to know what he beat, but this Listed bumper scorer did it impressively and sets the standard. He looks an exciting prospect.

12.43 Sandown
Betfair Supports Racing With Pride Mares' Handicap Hurdle, 2m4f
Harry's tip: Sunset Marquesa
Sunset Marquesa returned with a good third in a 2m2½f handicap hurdle at Exeter last month, having had wind surgery and been off for 230 days since falling in a valuable novice handicap at Newbury in March. She shaped as if she'd be suited by this longer trip and the much easier surface is likely a positive too.
1.20 Sandown
Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle, 2m7½f
Harry's tip: Lavender Hill Mob
Lavender Hill Mob is smart on the Flat (rated 97) and looked mightily impressive when dominating a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time. He was strong at the finish, suggesting this first go at a staying trip would suit, and the softer ground should hold no fears, given he won on heavy on the Flat.
1.50 Sandown
Betfair Henry VIII Novices' Chase (Grade 1), 1m7½f
Harry's tip: Lump Sum
Lulamba could prove hard to beat in receipt of weight, but I'm convinced he'll be better over further and I'd rather side with Lump Sum. He made a seamless transition to fences when bolting up at Uttoxeter in October, readily pulling 16 lengths clear of subsequent winner Jax Junior, and looks an exciting prospect.
2.05 Aintree
William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Wirral Juvenile Hurdle (Listed), 2m1f
Harry's tip: Edelak
Edelak showed useful form on the Flat in Ireland, notably bolting up in a 1m4f Galway maiden on soft ground in July. He's from the family of Gold Cup winners Enzeli and Estimate, so was always likely to stay further, and could make a nice prospect over hurdles.
2.25 Sandown
Bet At Your Best With Betfair Handicap Hurdle, 2m
Harry's tip: Afadil
Afadil hasn't won since February 2024, but he ran some huge races in defeat last season, notably being beaten just half a length in the Imperial Cup over course and distance. He looks well treated off a 2lb lower mark and is expected to take a big step forward from his first start after a break and wind surgery last month.
2.40 Aintree
William Hill Half A Mill Becher Handicap Chase, 3m2f
Harry's tip: Galia Des Liteaux
Galia Des Liteaux seemed to relish the test of jumping these fences in the 2024 Grand National, leading four out only for her stamina to give way on the run to the last. She's 8lb lower than when going close in the Classic Chase last year and should be primed for this after a nice prep at Carlisle last month.
3.00 Sandown
Betfair Tingle Creek Chase (Grade 1), 1m7½f
Harry's tip: Il Etait Temps
Il Etait Temps looked mightily impressive when returning from 359 days off to beat Jonbon in the Celebration Chase over course and distance in April. He cruised to an 18-length romp in the Clonmel Oil Chase on his reappearance and looks the one to beat.
3.15 Aintree
New William Hill Racing Bet Builder Handicap Hurdle, 2m4f
Harry's tip: Act Of Authority
Act Of Authority didn't convince with his stamina for 3m on his reappearance, travelling nicely into contention but not being able to go with the leaders late on. He's won second time out after his last two breaks and looks well handicapped based on his second to Grade 2 winner Wodhooh in the Martin Pipe in March now back in trip.

3.35 Sandown
Betfair Exchange London National Handicap Chase, 3m4½f
Harry's tip: O'Connell
O'Connell was a major improver for the yard last season, completing a hat-trick when landing a 3m handicap chase here in February before faring best of those behind an impressive winner in the Eider Chase. He's entitled to strip fitter for his reappearance and should be well suited to this test of stamina.
