Well-handicapped Anibale ready to fly in National
Newmarket: David Milnes
Tivoli (8.00 Wolverhampton, nap)
Khalid Abdullah's filly showed that six furlongs and the all-weather were her bag when scoring at Kempton last backend when accounting for the useful Left Alone. John Gosden's three-year-old has worked nicely on the Al Bahathri of late.
Others to follow
Lingfield: 1.55 The Lacemaker, 2.30 Betty F, 3.35 Silent Attack, 4.15 Highcastle, 4.50 Dream Warrior, 5.40 Oceanus.
Wolverhampton: 6.00 Verstappen, 8.30 Ocean Of Love, 9.00 Royal Mezyan.
Lambourn: Nick Deacon
On The Blind Side (2.25 Aintree, nap)
One of the leading middle distance hurdlers in the first half of the season, but has had his troubles since an impressive win at Sandown in December. However, he is back working in great form at Seven Barrows, and should be fit enough to do himself justice after his 127 day break. Faces his toughest opposition so far, but the fact that he had to give Cheltenham a miss, could now be an advantage.
Others to follow
Aintree: 4.20 Thomas Campbell, 5.15 Milansbar.
Lingfield: 2.30 Salute The Soldier, 3.05 Boycie, 4.15 Dorian Gray, 4.50 Definition.
Wolverhampton: 6.00 Berkshire Royal, 7.30 Knockabout Queen, 8.00 Promising, 8.30 Bear Valley.
North: Colin Russell
I Just Know (5.15 Aintree, nap)
Progressive sort who romped home in the North Yorkshire Grand National at Catterick in January. Fine jumper who will be well suited by the stiff test of stamina and having been trained with this race in mind is fancied to give Sue Smith her second National winner.
Others to follow
Aintree: 2.25 Better Getalong, 3.00 Lady Buttons, 3.40 Wakanda, 4.20 Sam Spinner, 6.20 William Of Orange.
Lingfield: 3.35 Alfred Hutchinson, 4.50 Ferlinfeu.
Newcastle: 1.30 Wor Verge, 2.05 Nortonthorpelegend, 2.40 Rivabodiva, 3.20 Pistol Park, 3.55 Henry's Joy, 4.30 Bulls Head, 5.00 Captain Sharpe, 5.45 Tomahawk Wood.

West Country: Andrew King
Vieux Lion Rouge (5.15 Aintree, nap)
Connections are hopeful it will be a case of third time lucky in the race. He will not mind the conditions and can make his presence felt.
Others to follow
Aintree: 1.45 Louis' Vac Pouch 2.25 Lostintranslation 3.00 Diego Du Charmil 3.40 Ibis Du Rheu 6.20 Solatentif.
Chepstow: 2.15 Heluvagood 4.05 Cucklington 4.40 Delface 5.35 Allchilledout 6.05 Golden Sovereign.
Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason
Anibale Fly (5.15 Aintree, nap)
Posted a career best effort when staying on well to take third behind Native River and Might Bite in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and looks well handicapped off an official mark of 159.
Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Anibale Fly (5.15 Aintree)
Ran a blinder to finish third in the Gold Cup and can make a big impact in Saturday's marathon.
Longshot: Ed Quigley
Lord Windermere (5.15 Aintree)
2014 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner ran well in this race last year and was going well in this season's Becher Chase until falling. Looks well treated on old form.
Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Christopher Robin (4.25 Leopardstown)
Placed on two of his three starts last season, the Aidan O'Brien-trained son of Camelot appeals on his handicap debut and with blinkers fitted for the first time. He should appreciate the step up to 1m2f and can score under Ryan Moore.
