Who To Follow On Day Three Of The Aintree Grand National Festival

Having already had a winner on the opening day of the festival Willie Mullins will be hoping for a big day on the final afternoon of the meeting.

His first runner of the afternoon comes in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle over 2m4f and Dark Raven having been gambled on in Supreme steps up in trip.

In the Grand National, Mullins has some serious chances to land the race with Mr Incredible, Gaillard Du Mesnill, Capodanno, Carefully Selected and Recite a prayer all looking to run well.

Finally, in the Grade Two bumper he has some of the leading chances with Captain Cody and Blizzard Of Oz his leading chances in the event.

Mullins heads into the weekend sporting a strike rate of 30% for the last two weeks, managing to land 19 runners from his last 64 runners.

Harry Skelton could have a really good final day at Aintree starting in the opener with Calico looking to take Jonbon close once again and pick up some place money.

In the 3m 1/2f Handicap Hurdle West Balboa steps up in trip and off a mark of 135 could have more left in the tank and then in the Grade One Mersey Novices' Hurdle Kateira can out run her odds.

Proschema in the Liverpool Hurdle will be looking to go better than his 33/1 odds suggest but then William Hill Handicap Chase Midnight River is the 6/1 favourite.

Skelton has a live chance in the 2023 Grand National with Le Milos coming for some money since declarations and he has been tipped by many to go close.
