Free Aintree tips: six horses to back on day two of the Grand National festival

Friday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters

Eyecatcher

Duke Of Bronte (4.40 Aintree)

He has taken well to hurdling since returning from a monster layoff and could be overpriced for this Grade 1 judged on last month's easy Doncaster victory.

Ace tipster

Peking Rose (1.45 Aintree)

Green at the finish when running a half-length second in the Grade 2 bumper at this meeting last season and 2m4f on good to soft ground may be exactly what he needs on his handicap debut. Makes each-way appeal with five places available.
Robbie Wilders

Speed figures

Mister Coffey(4.05 Aintree)

Produced four solid efforts in defeat over fences and deserves to relinquish his maiden tag in that sphere.
Dave Edwards

Handicappers' nap

Langer Dan (1.45 Aintree)

The 2021 Imperial Cup winner was unfortunate to run into Galopin Des Champs in the Martin Pipe at last year's festival and was brought down early when favourite for that race last month. Handicapped to gain compensation.

Dark horse

Aucunrisque(2.20 Aintree)

Sound jumper who has improved with every start over hurdles culminating in a Grade 2 win last time out at Kempton. Will need to progress again to play a hand in the finish here but that seems more than likely.
Tom Gibbings

West Country

Tamaroc Du Mathan(4.05 Aintree)

Back in form when second in Grade 3 handicap at Newbury, on ground softer than ideal. Still well treated on novice form and trip and track should be ideal for this solid jumper.
