The race that kickstarts the Aintree Grand National meeting on Thursday is the Grade One Manifesto Novices’ Chase over 2m4f where a field of seven head to post.
The horse we are siding with is the mare Gin On Lime, with this race to us being on of the worst Grade One's seen in a while.
Henry De Bromhead's six year old is a very consistent mare winning five of her last six races and although her having lesser form than some of these, she has the benefit of freshness going into the event.
Two starts ago she put up arguably her best performance of the season when winning at Tipperary in a decent Grade Three event over 2m4f.
She was last seen in November facing My Drogo at Cheltenham in a two runner race that had the thrills and spills of a Grand National.
The pair came to the second last neck and neck and with My Drogo unseating, Gin On Lime also did the same but Rachael Blackmore stayed on the horse and won the race easily.
She goes well fresh and in a race that lacks class she could be the answer.
