9/4
Ace Of Spades won his maiden hurdle here last term, albeit over a much shorter trip, and he also come out on top in a Class 2 2m4f handicap at Aintree first time out this season. Dan Skelton’s gelding was a solid fourth in a very competitive race at Haydock after that and a similar effort could be enough.
