£9.99 For 3 Top Class Days of In Depth Write Ups + Ante Post Bets

Thursday 3rd April – Saturday 5th April

Can we make it 16 from the last 18 Aintree Festivals in profit?

 

I will start of by saying Cheltenham did not go our way, not often we say that at the Cheltenham and have very little to celebrate, but this year was not good for us… Does that mean Aintree will not be kind to us??? Of course not, I still have a record of 15 from 17 years in profit, I still have the same knowledge of the game, I will still work as hard as I ever do and I am all out for a repeat of 2023, we on Grand National Day we had 4 winners from 5 races, cleaning the bookies out for hundreds of thousands when you combined everyones multiples. 

We are still capable of those days and they will happen, but you have to take the rough with the smooth in this game so we keep marching forward.
 
If you are planning on joining us for the biggest 4 days of the calendar year, make sure you are involved from the start as we have some top class bets lined up. 
 
Each Thursday after leading up to the Cheltenham Festival, we will be releasing early bets and then of course each night before the Cheltenham Festival itself.
 
THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS RACE IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER and we are here to take you through the whole 3 days.
 
I cannot wait for the 2026 Aintree Festival to get going and you won’t find a tipster in the whole country with a record like ours when it comes to Aintree Festival. In the last 17 years we have had two losing Aintree Festival’s and the confidence is sky high that we are going to make it 15 from 17.
 
Put simply the Aintree Festival is my time to shine, when the pressure is on, JPW delivers the majority of the time, on the big stage and this year will be no different.
 
 
What can you expect from the Aintree Festival Special 2026?
 

We can’t give any guarantees that we are going to make profit in the 2026 Aintree Festival but we do have an amazing record which is probably the best in the industry over nearly two decades. We are as confident as ever, going into a Festival that we know is our stomping ground and has delivered so much huge success in the past.

We are as honest and trustworthy as they come and customers are at the forefront of everything we do.

By joining JPW Racing Tipster, you will know that all tips are fully researched and come with a full write up for every tip.

We give a very in depth analysis for every race we tip in, accompanied by a selection. The write ups show the massive amount of work that goes in and exactly how thorough we are, in the work we produce, keeping it professional from start to finish.

 

The winning write ups from the 2023 Aintree Festival on our golden day – A reminder of what we are capable of when it goes to plan

 
CORACH RAMBLER 8/1 WINNER
CORACH RAMBLER is just the perfect Grand National horse, he will stay forever, he jumps well, he travelled better than ever in the Ultima Handicap Chase and I wouldn’t even say he had a hard race at Cheltenham. Lucinda Russell knows what it takes to win this race after winning it with One For Arthur in 2017 and the same applies for Derek Fox. 
Obviously we will need a bit of luck in running but these fences are not as hard as they used to be and horses just jump straight through them. Horses tend to unseat on the landing side rather than the fence itself.
I know you can’t be super confident in a Grand National given the nature of the race, but I am as confident as can be under the circumstances. CORACH RAMBLER will have just 10st 5lb on his back as top weight Any Second Now is certain to run and given the form this horse is in, what is going to stop him with 10st 5lb on his back. All he needs in my opinion is a clear round of jumping and CORACH RAMBLER is your 2023 Grand National winner. If he gets over the last fence within a few lengths of the leader, I have no doubt he will get home better than anything.
 

 

WEST BALBOA 13/2 WINNER
I have been waiting patiently for WEST BALBOA to run and finally we get our chance to get involved. I am literally all over her and she goes down as my best bet of the Aintree Festival. Obviously that doesn’t guarantee the win but I am confident in what I am seeing and what I have seen to date, to know that she is very well handicapped off a mark of 135. 
Dan Skelton skipped Cheltenham in favour of this flat track and she will come into the race fully tuned, as if this was her Gold Cup.
She is a very lightly raced 7 year old with only 4 career starts and only 2 starts this season. She was 2nd on her first start of the season, coming back from 339 days off the track and then went to Kempton and won the Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle off a mark of 130, battling on all the way to the line. She has gone up 5lb but the way she stayed on in her last race, on soft ground, over 2m 5f, she looked to be crying out for 3 miles. 
She is now up in trip to 3 miles and on better ground you are going to see an even better horse.
Going back to her novice days she was 2nd in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle to Stage Star and that form has obviously worked out well.
I would go as far to say I think she is a good 10lb – 15lb well in on the handicap. We are obviously going to need a bit of luck in running but this is as confident a handicap tip from me all season. I guess we will find out tomorrow but as always I wear my heart on my sleeve and say it how it is. E/W.

 

SIRE DU BERLAIS 8/1 WINNER

We will start with SIRE DU BERLAIS and what a day it was for JPW members as we secured a 50/1 winner. A real magic moment and he cemented a profitable Cheltenham Festival with a day to spare.
He was the winner of this race last year when outstaying Flooring Porter, won the Stayers Hurdle last month and also finished 2nd in the 2021 Stayers Hurdle. As I always say you can ignore his form at the start of the season as SIRE DU BERLAIS is a spring horse. He just comes alive at this time of year and he is sure to run another massive race. WIN.
 
 
MIDNIGHT RIVER 8/1 WINNER
Another horse I have been waiting all season for him to get his conditions is MIDNIGHT RIVER and finally he has got the good to soft ground required to see him at his best. I know the ground went soft today but from 3pm this afternoon, no more rain is forecast. With the weather sunny all day tomorrow, by 4:15pm tomorrow the ground will be back to good to soft with temperatures around 14C. I have also been waiting for him to step up to 3 miles, which he finally is for the first time this season. Dan Skelton has also put a first time tongue tie on which should help that bit more.
 
MIDNIGHT RIVER is a highly regarded horse who has won 2 from 4 starts this season and also finished 3rd in the Paddy Power Gold Cup in November. He was midfield in the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival but that was a scrappy race and I have no doubt he is better than what we saw. He has come down the handicap to a mark of 151 and although I wouldn’t exactly say he is well handicapped, I do still think he has a few more pounds improvement in him. This is not the strongest race he has run in this season and although he carries 11st 7lb, I can’t have him out of the frame. E/W.
