15:20 - Grand National market movers

We're approaching the big one and naturally there have been a few shifts in the market.

Here are some of the horses whose odds have shortened in the last couple of hours...

Mr Incredible 14/1 > 10/1
Noble Yeats 20/1 > 16/1
Capodanno 40/1 > 25/1

15:15 - Strong Leader takes the Liverpool Hurdle

A stunning ride from Sean Bowen sees Strong Header take the honours in an ultra-competitive Liverpool Hurdle.

He was narrowly beaten by Inthepocket in the Top Novices' Hurdle last year, but he's first home ahead of Buddy One and Hiddenvalley Lake in a thrilling race.

That was some appetiser ahead of the Grand National, which is up next at 4:00!

14:45 - Flooring Porter heads the Liverpool Hurdle betting

The two-time Stayers' Hurdle champion leads the way in the betting for the Grade 1 Liverpool Hurdle at 3:05.

The veteran Sire Du Berlais is a non-runner but the likes of Crambo, Monkfish and Hewick make this an excellent renewal of the race.

14:40 - Cruz Control leads from the front

Cruz Control displays excellent stamina levels as he takes the Handicap Chase at Aintree.

The seven-year-old was tipped by up the Racing Post's Keith Melrose this morning!

14:10 - Latest odds for the next race at Aintree

The King of Ryhope and Crebilly are amongst the favourites for the handicap chase coming up next on Merseyside.

Latest betting:

The King Of Ryhope - 4/1
Crebilly - 9/2
Kilbeg King - 13/2
Forward Plan - 7/1
Cruz Control - 15/2

14:00 - Grade 1 success for Brighterdaysahead

It's an absolute stroll for Brighterdaysahead in the first Grade 1 race of the day.

Gordon Elliott is on the board for the day as the 6/5 favourite cruises home in the Turners Mersey Novices' Hurdle.

13:35 - First of the Grade 1s up next

There are three Grade 1s races taking place today and the first of those is the Turners Mersey Novices' Hurdle, which is the second race of the day.

Brighterdaysahead justifies favouritism after narrowly missing out on victory in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle, but Ile Atlantique, third in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham, could pose a significant threat.

13:30 - Gwennie May Boy wins the opener

The Skeltons do indeed get off to an ideal start, but its second favourite Gwennie May Boy who is victorious in the opening race on Grand National day.

The 9/2 shot is a comfortable winner ahead of Lord Snootie in second. It's been some season for the six-year-old!

13:05 - Handicap Hurdle odds

The first race today is a handicap race and West Balboa, a winner on Grand National day last year, currently heads the betting.

Will it be the perfect start at Aintree for the Skeltons?

Latest odds:

West Balboa - 5/2
Gwennie May Boy - 6/1
Cuthbert Dibble - 7/1
Black Bamboo - 8/1
Johnnywho - 11/1

I Am Maximus might be the new favourite but Corach Rambler's third-placed finish in the Gold Cup surely puts him in contention again this afternoon.
