Trainer To Follow - Colin Tizzard

Colin Tizzard could have a stellar day on the Saturday at Aintree sending a decent team of runners and also having a decent shout in the Grand National.

In the Maghull Novices' Chase he fields Amarillo Sky who is stepping up into graded company and will need to improve but could hit the frame at a double figure price.

His best chances of the day come in the Grade Three Handicap Chase with Oscar Elite and Killer Kane both in with chances, especially the latter at the weights.

In the Grand National the Tizzard's have one of their stable stars Fiddlerontheroof who has been the bridesmaid on many occasion but this time could go one better.

Tizzard heads into the Saturday sporting a strike rate of 26% having managed five winners from his last 19 runners over the last two weeks.

Jockey To Follow - Nico De Boinville

Nico De Boinville has a handful of big chances on the final day of the meeting starting in the first on board Mill Green for his retained trainer Nicky Henderson, with his third in the Pertemps last time looking like strong form.

In the first Grade One of the afternoon, the Mersey Novices' Hurdle he sits on the talented Walking On Air who could turn out to be anything.

In the final event of the afternoon he will be looking to win the bumper on Swapped who will returning to the turf after two runs on the all weather.

De Boinville has been in some serious form leading up to the festival, managing to land five winners from 16 rides over the last two weeks which sees him running at a strike rate of 31%.
