14:20 Aintree Tips — Thursday 9th April 2026

Our top selection for the 14:20 at Aintree, run on good ground, is the formidable **Lulamba**, currently priced at a strong 8/11. Trainer Nicky Henderson clearly has this one in prime condition, as evidenced by his superb form line of 112-11113. This gelding has been incredibly consistent, placing in five of his last five runs, demonstrating remarkable reliability and a potent will to win.

Lulamba’s recent performances mark him out as a horse still on an upward curve, and a return to Aintree’s demanding track should pose no issues for this talented individual. Given his current trajectory and Henderson's expertise in preparing horses for major meetings, Lulamba looks perfectly poised to add another victory to his impressive record. The market confidence, reflected in his short odds, is entirely justified.

For those considering an each-way option in a race where **Lulamba** appears dominant, **Mambonumberfive** could be one to watch. While facing a tough task to beat our selection, Mambonumberfive might offer some value for a place on the podium. However, our clear NAP for the 14:20 remains the highly progressive **Lulamba**.
