The Punt Acca: Liam Headd's three horse racing tips at Aintree on Friday

Three horses to put in a multiple at the Aintree on Friday . . .

Broadway Boy

1.45 Aintree

Trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, Broadway Boy was a non-runner at Cheltenham and I expect him to outrun his odds in a wide-open Mildmay Novices' Chase. The six-year-old has enjoyed a brilliant campaign with three victories from five starts, and most of his efforts this term have come over the staying distances. Although he finished well clear when third in the Hampton Novices' Chase at Warwick last time, the winner – Grey Dawning – franked the form of the race by following up in the Turners at Cheltenham. Broadway Boy jumped well but never really challenged that day, but it's his career-best effort at Cheltenham in December that needs marking up. The race has since produced three winners and if he runs to that ability or better, then he has every chance as he goes well after a break.

Kateira

2.20 Aintree

Kateira made a promising return to action when fourth at Kempton last month. Trained by Dan Skelton, the seven-year-old mare was close to posting a career-best Racing Post Rating when behind stablemate Boombawn that day and I expect her to come on for that effort again. Before that, though, she ran with credit when third in a Listed race at Wetherby. Three of her five rivals that day have since won again, including Stainsby Girl who followed up when winning a Haydock Listed race by 12 lengths in February. She also has good form around Aintree as she finished second behind Irish Point in last year's Mersey Novices' Hurdle. She is capable of returning to those levels of performance again and this is a big opportunity for her.

Pic D'Orhy

3.30 Aintree

This race has been the target for Pic D'Orhy since his Ascot success in February and I expect Paul Nicholls to have him bang on for this race. The nine-year-old has enjoyed a stellar campaign this term by winning two of his three starts. He made a stunning reappearance when running out a 16-length winner of the 1965 Chase at Ascot in November and followed up with a career-best effort on RPRs when narrowly behind Banbridge at Kempton. The form of the race has worked out well with the fourth, Edwardstone, scoring by 40 lengths on his next start. Pic D'Orhy improved again on his subsequent outing when landing the Ascot Chase last time out, while he's running off the same mark as he did when winning this race last year. He has a massive opportunity again.
