Aintree Race 1 - Bet 10 To Get 40 Betmgm Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
RISKY OBSESSION (4) Fresh today after a 29 week break. Ran 6th last time at this venue. Should bounce back. Tongue tie go on for the first time. Looks a worthwhile investment today. WATERY BORREN (1) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of nearly 11L last start in a hurdle at Carlisle and was a debutant last start. Winning chance in this line up. AVIDE (3) Resuming after a break. Did well when 3rd last time at Chantilly and going up in distance. First appearance for a new trainer. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. AQUA BLEU (2) First up and tidy effort when 2nd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Hereford. Has early speed and positions nicely. Solid career start. Could surprise at odds.

Dominant winner by just short of 11L last start in a hurdle at Carlisle and fitter for debut run. Will be in the finish.
