16:05 Aintree Tips — Friday 10th April 2026

Our top play for the 16:05 Aintree comes in the form of Harry Derham’s **Teddy Blue** (EVS), an extremely well-fancied runner poised to deliver once again. This gelding arrives here in scintillating form, boasting a victory last time out which firmly underlines his current well-being and confidence. That win was no fluke; it capped a truly impressive run of progression, with his form figures of 7-5-3-1 telling a clear story of a horse on a relentless upward curve.

His consistency is another massive plus point, having placed in three of his last five starts, demonstrating reliability even when not winning. Jockey Paul O'Brien retains the ride, clearly having built a strong rapport, and with an Official Rating of 135, Teddy Blue certainly has the class to dominate this field on decent ground. At even money, the market clearly agrees with our assessment that this is a very strong favourite. We’re confident Teddy Blue can extend his winning sequence today.

For those looking for an each-way alternative, **Prairie Wolf** looks an excellent shout to hit the frame at a decent price. He’s shown enough to suggest he can make his presence felt.
