Today’s tip comes from Aintree where Sir Alex Ferguson’s horse MARC AURELE is running in the 16:35. Marc Aurele has a good second to Riverside Theatre to his name but was slightly under par the last time we saw him. He has had an operation since and the fact that Nicholls has perservered and retains the horse makes me think we just haven’t seen the best of this one. This is a bad standard of race for the track and Nicholls may have found an opportunity to get this horse off of the mark, at the 4th time of asking over hurdles.

	Marc Aurele	2 points win	Currently 6/1
