Who To Follow At Aintree On Sunday - 23/10/22

Dan Skelton has some nice runners at Aintree on Sunday starting in the 13:30 with Hidden Heroics.

He was a point winner who got off the mark over hurdles following a breathing operation at Newcastle in March and did not need to improve much to notch a second success back in novice company at Uttoxeter when last seen in May.

He merits plenty of respect here and Dan Skelton also has a 20% strike rate with staying hurdlers.In the 14:40, Dan Skelton runs the horse Beakstown.

Jockey and trainer won the race last year with Allmankind so their runner in this year’s renewal cannot be ignored.

He usually races up with the pace, so it is not difficult to imagine a similar scenario again here. He won at Ayr in April after not winning for three years, but a 6lb rise in the ratings found him out at Sandown next time.

He is one that you could say looks fairly exposed but still remains with potential.Skelton heads into this meeting boasting a 24% strike rate in the past two weeks, accumulating 5 winners from his last 21 runners.

Jonjo O’Neill Jr is having a fine season to date and he can enhance his credentials of getting more winners here at Aintree on Sunday with a few interesting looking rides.

One of his chances of the day comes in the 14:05 with Cloth Cap looking to build on his reputation of going well fresh after a fairly long layoff.

He has been given a chance by the handicapper and will look to put in a solid run after sustaining a few injuries and physical problems.He teams up with Jonjo O’Neill on Petit Tonnerre in the Class 2 event at 15:15 in what looks an open affair.

He is worth another chance after a 199 days absence and remains with high potential after winning on both starts over hurdles in France last year.

O’Neill Jr heads into the meeting with some good looking rides and is currently operating at a strike rate of 25% for the last two weeks managing 4 winners from his last 16 rides.
