However, Bluey could be the one to bet. Last season, the horse didn't finish outside the first two home in the final four showings, with Emma Lavelle's seven-year-old proving a strong contender who can secure the spoils. Wendigo also has wins under his belt, with Jamie Snowden confident that the seven-year-old can hit the frame.

Old Roan Chase Betting Tips

Bluey is the standout pick when it comes to the Old Roan Chase betting market. Emma Lavelle's seven-year-old is carrying less weight than many of the other contenders in the field, with the horse last seen landing the spoils at Market Rasen in April. That came over two miles, five and a half furlongs, with the charge taking well to the trip.

This came after a runner-up spot at Wincanton, with a January win at Windsor meaning we're prepared to take a chance on the horse here. Boombawn is a Dan Skelton-trained runner who was sixth last time out although the nine-year-old was running in a competitive October showdown at Chepstow Racecourse after a top performance at Aintree.

Master Chewy is trained by Twiston-Davies, with the nine-year-old having to cope with plenty of weight in order to win this Aintree race. It was no surprise that the horse was off the pace at Cheltenham as a 40/1 poke in the Ryanair Chase, with that coming after a February effort at Newbury where the horse was once again outclassed.

Hitman is an interesting contender, with the runner a ten-year-old who has previously been a star performer. Paul Nicholls will hope that his charge can produce a strong effort here despite being one of the top weights. There was a fall at Aintree back in April although the horse won this race last time out and could be the each-way value.

Old Roan Chase Prediction: Bluey

Bluey looks to be well weighted for this Aintree showdown and Emma Lavelle could saddle the horse to victory in the Old Roan Chase.
