Take on consistent novice with a habit of finding one too good

Us And Them
3.00 Aintree
SP forecast 11-4

Arrives after a run of four seconds and lost to Le Richebourg twice at Leopardstown before failing to lay a glove on Duc Des Genievres in the Arkle at Cheltenham last time. That race appeared to fall apart with several of the protagonists failing to complete, but Us And Them had the reopposing Clondaw Castle and Knocknanuss well beaten in fourth and fifth and Lalor was pulled up in that contest. He handles easy ground and looks sure to run well again but might just fall short of top class.

Conclusion Strikes me as the type who is more likely to finish second than win and I’m always happy to take that sort on.
