TEMOIN (7/2 ladbrokes)Everyone racing mad is waiting, with Baited Breath, for the Grand National on saturday. The greatest horse race in the world bar none!
But for me, I have been waiting for up and coming star, Temoin to run. I tipped him for Cheltenham, where he was going to take on Black Jack Ketchum in the novices hurdle, but he was pulled out, to wait for Aintree.
This exciting young hurdler is regarded as one of Nicki Henderson's best hopes at the Aintree meeting. Nicki Henderson and Mick fitzgerald, both agree that Temoin would love Aintree.
The distance of 2m 4 is not a problem. He is yet to be really tested over his only 3 starts over hurdles. Even though this is a much stronger race I do not believe that this can stop temoin's connections celebrating his win.
Tip - Temoin 7/2 LadbrokesHaving been upped 15lb, I do not think that this will stop Temoin. It might just be a case of how much this young horse can win by? If all goes to plan.
For all these reasons, I make Termoin, my nap at Aintree for friday.
