Some familiar names lining up for the hunters' chase including the 13-year-old Fiftysevenchannels, who may not be as good as he once was but is still capable of useful form. More likely to be fighting out the finish though are the likes of Teelin Bay, quietly fancied for the Aintree Foxhunters before unseating his rider, point-to-point winner Bolton Forest who is less exposed than most and Maitre De Musique who has also been running well between the flags recently.
