The Red Rum Chase is of course a very important race at the Aintree Festival as it is named after the three time Grand National Winner, with that in mind there is always a decent field making it an interesting race from a betting point of view. The race card will be all important here at the five day and 48 hour stages as always with the full list of contenders on offer with form details and jockey bookings.
