Aintree today racing post
Hope Might Bite gets back to his best

This race has been talked up as a match between Native River and Might Bite, but on their previous meetings the head-to-head is a little one-sided.

The big two have met four times over fences and each time it has been Colin Tizzard’s warrior who has come out on top, including when memorably capturing the 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Cheltenham could be where Might Bite finishes at the end of the season, but it is definitely where Native River will be going given his excellent record at the Cheltenham Festival and his stable’s desire to capture the contest again next year.

Native River, who wears blinkers for the first time, has not run since finishing fourth in last year’s Gold Cup, his third and final run of what proved to be a winless campaign which began in the Betfair Chase and took in the King George before Cheltenham.

Tine creek today, one of my favourite races... Like Prolitologue at 9/2

Reckon we saw a good one tonight as John Gosden and Rab Havlin paired up with Waldkonig, a half brother to Arc winner Waldgeist by Kingman.

Did it in good style and while it might have been on a chilly low-key Saturday night at Wolverhampton he does, at this stage, hold a Derby entry. By accounts a big two-year-old and will be interesting to see how he develops over the winter.

We might as well have a look at overseas racing.
