StarForm NUMBER ONE FOR RACING

Best bets for today’s racing from our Starform expert Steve Curry

- 

HAVING run a decent race in the Grand Sefton at Aintree last time, JET PLANE (2.45) descends to a lower altitude at Leicester today and is napped to take full advantage.

Dan Skelton’s nine-year-old was fighting it out with the leaders over the last of 18 Grand National fences in that 2m65f contest until the petrol tank quickly emptied, and he drops a furlong — as well as in grade — for the Weatherbys Racing Bank Handicap Chase.

The six-time winner over fences, who's down another 2lb, was also second in last season’s Aintree Fox Hunter and that level of form makes him a big player in today’s company.

AGGAGIO (12.15) also faces an easier assignment than of late when he lines up in the Racing Excellence Conditional Jockeys’ Training Series Handicap Hurdle.
