Ruby Walsh's Aintree Cheat Sheet: Here's Saturday's betting tips

Ruby Walsh’s Aintree betting tips:

13:45 – Jonbon
14:25 – Gatsby Grey(each-way)
15:00 – Irish Point
15:35 – Home By The Lee
16:15 – Coconut Splash (each-way)
17:15 – Any Second Now, Le Milos & Velvet Elvis(all each-way)
18:20 – Captain Cody

13:45 – Jonbon

This is JONBON‘s to win. He needs to jump better than he did at Cheltenham but, barring an accident, he should win.

14:25 – Gatsby Grey

I’m going for GATSBY GREY each-way. I thought he ran a really good race in the 3m handicap hurdle at Leopardstown.

15:00 – Irish Point

The horse I am drawn to is IRISH POINT. Was disappointing at the Dublin Racing Festival, skipped Cheltenham, but comes here a fresher horse than the opposition.

15:35 – Home By The Lee

I think this will be a strongly-run race that will suit a dour stayer and HOME BY THE LEE might get his turn.

16:15 – Coconut Splash (each-way)

The trip and track will suit COCONUT SPLASH for Adam Wedge and Evan Williams. I think he’ll be a big enough price for an each-way shout here.

17:15 – Any Second Now, Le Milos & Velvet Elvis

I could rule out probably 25 horses, leaving 15, but I’ve found it hard to have a main pick to be honest, so I’ll side with ANY SECOND NOW, LE MILOS and VELVET ELVIS as my each-way selections.

18:20 – Captain Cody

Blizzard of Oz and Captain Cody are both decent horse and will pay their way over hurdles next year. CAPTAIN CODY gets the nod here.
