Destrier looks ready to strike in Red Rum
Destrier looks sure to go well back on a sounder surface.
AINTREE handicaps, like at Cheltenham, are always devilishly difficult puzzles to unravel and that looks the case with the 18-runner Close Brothers Red Rum Handicap Chase (4.40pm).
Paul Nicholls’ Getaway Trump will be well fancied after his impressive win at Doncaster last month, but he has the burden of top weight which may prove too difficult to overcome.
Henry de Bromhead had a dream time of it at the Cheltenham Festival with six winners, so you’d expect there to be plenty of interest in his two runners, Moon Over Germany and Jan Maat.

It tells you all you need to know about where Aintree ranks in Willie Mullins’ list of priorities when his only runner on the opening day of the festival comes in the Foxhunters , the first race over the National fences at the meeting.
That one runner is likely to yield a winner for Ireland’s champion trainer as Billaway sets a high standard for the others to aim for after finishing runner-up in the equivalent of this race at the Cheltenham Festival.
On that occasion, Billaway was ridden by Paul Townend because amateurs were forced to miss the meeting due to Covid-19 protocols. However, they have been free to ride in Britain since March 29, meaning Ireland’s champion amateur Patrick Mullins will be back aboard Billaway here.
