Aintree Grand National Festival Tips - Day 1 - Thursday, April 8
Reporter: );
I m not quite sure why
ELDORADO ALLEN (7/1) seems to be the forgotten horse in the market here. Hitman, Fusil Raffles and The Shunter are all priced up ahead of him in the market despite him chasing home the best horse on show at last month s Cheltenham Festival, that being Nicky Henderson s Shishkin. He was 12 lengths behind Shishkin that day but finished ahead of the likes of Captain Guinness and Allmankind. He was eight and a half lengths behind Shishkin at Doncaster before that but had claimed two wins over fences prior to that, including a 19-length success of Quel Destin at Cheltenham last November. The ground won t be a problem and he can finally get his head in front again out of the shadow of Shishkin.
