In depth
Verdict
AINTREE MY DREAM has a good strike rate and beat a previous winner by 12 lengths on heavy going at Warwick eight days ago. He has to concede weight all round but should be up to the task. Going For Broke was returning from a break when fourth at Bangor in December, and along with West Torr, is likely to do better on summer jumping ground. Potters Story makes his hurdling debut but has won a bumper and was far from disgraced last time at Warwick.
