I have four bets today which fit in with three different systems for Aintree today. The prices are not great but a couple of winners from the four even one winner in one case could result in a profit. It’s far from easy however and if the Favourites all go in, which is always possible, the bookies will be hammered.

However, I feel in two races of the four there’s a little more value to had by avoiding the Favourites and as they both come out better for my top system I am going with them.

Aintree 2.15 No.9 Apple’s Jade – Result WON 3/1 (by 41 lengths)
This filly is up against the impressive Cheltenham winner Ivanovich Gorbatov who could be a class apart for his rivals, but the going is different today and I’d rather take a chance on my selection who comes out on top for me. Footpad was a selection for my at the festival but he ran under par there I thought and as my selection has beaten him before I’ll stick with my top horse.

Aintree 2.50 No.2 Djakadam – Result 3rd at 5/2 (Cue Card Won at 6/5)
If the Gold Cup is anything to go by this one and Cue Card should be fighting out the finish, but for more than one reason Djakadam looks slightly the most likely winner for me although this race really looks a tougher one to call between the top three in the market than most today.

Aintree 4.40 No.12 Fayette County – Result Lost 9/2 (Very unsettled before start but didn’t look good enough)
This one offers the best price from all four and while his form figures of FF4-P2 look a little worrying if the horse runs as well as last time out, bearing in mind the horse who beat him last time has won again, he really should be able to run a big race.

Aintree 5.15 No.8 La Bague Au Roi – Result Lost at 2/1 (14/1 winner was AA3)
This selection is a WOLCO System strong bet, the only Proven Profits System horse in the race and also qualifies well for my top AA System, so I am very hopeful she can continue her excellent form and keep her unbeaten record.

Best of luck if you are backing today
