Jamie Snowden’s six-year-old Colonel Harry arrives here at Aintree having spent zero time outside of the top four in his hurdling career. Landed Sandown maiden on second outing over obstacles before finishing a respectable fourth in the Tolworth.
Dropped down to class four level to win at Newcastle before second to Nemean Lion in the Premier Novices’ Hurdle over 2m 2f at Kelso last month prior to coming here. Against some top runners again here which may see him struggle.
