The Punt Acca: Charlie Huggins' two horse racing tips at Aintree on Saturday

Two horses to include in a multiple on Saturday . . .


Golden Son (11.45 Aintree)

The five-year-old won a Grade 2 over hurdles at Auteuil for Francois Nicolle and made an encouraging stable debut for Paul Nicholls when second to Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle winner Iroko. The form of that Warwick novice chase was boosted when Get A Tonic, who finished 26 lengths behind Golden Son in fourth, landed a valuable handicap at Newbury last Saturday. Main market rival Pembroke was well beaten at this track in October and Golden Son should get off the mark for Nicholls.

Bashers Reflection (3.15 Aintree)

The Ben Case-trained six-year-old continued his progression since being switched to handicaps when comfortably scoring on heavy ground at Wetherby last month. Bashers Reflection has been raised 7lb for what was his fourth win from seven handicap starts and he is entitled to have a go at this Class 2 event. Three of those wins came on testing ground over this sort of trip so the conditions should suit and he receives 16lb from early favourite Sonigino.
