The weather fails to stop the racing.

A great card at Aintree and Paul Nicholls has claims in all three of the big races, but his best chance could come in the Beecher with Mr Appointment. This one is going for back to back victories in the race and is only seven pounds higher than last season. Paul can also land the big race at Navan with Officier De Reserve. He returned with a smooth success over hurdles and if his jumping holds up he should go close. Smart bumper winner Honest John is our other selection at Liverpool. Tom Tate's jumpers are in good form and this son of Alzao will know what's required.
