6.05pm Aintree Tips & Betting Preview 18/05/2018

Katachenko was nosed out by Play The Ace over course and distance in December, once again turning his nose up at a battle. His quirky nature makes him risky to back and the latterly named rival has now found himself on a tough looking mark thanks to completing a four-timer over the winter. Preference is for INDIAN TEMPLE, who has been running better than the bare results have suggested in recent starts. He’s back onto his last winning mark and was only beaten four lengths two starts ago at Musselburgh in a higher grade. With conditions ideal, he can return to winning ways.
