Mac Tottie 8/1 FAV in Aintree Topham Handicap Chase Racing Odds
The current narrow market favourite in the Aintree Topham Chase odds is MAC TOTTIE.
He’s currently up at a quote of 8/1* (odds recorded at 20:46 GMT on April 7th, 2022 at Boylesports)
He is one of a whole host of runners with claims in this one. A course and distance win in the Grand Sefton earlier this season is the key piece of form.
None of his three subsequent runs has been anywhere near as good as that, however.
MISTER COFFEY
Mister Coffey has continued along in some very consistent form in defeat this season.
He hasn’t been out of the places in four runs and was a superb second in the Kim Muir Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival last month despite being hampered.
There are big claims there from him at 15/2* (odds recorded at 20:46 GMT on April 7th, 2022 at Boylesports).
BATCIO
Batcio was a third-place finish at Leopardstown on his penultimate run, on a shorter distance than this.
He was at the same venue for a follow and went well again. Batcio comes in for a yard with a good record at Aintree.
SPIRITOFTHEGAMES
Coming in with strong claims in Topham Handicap Chase tips as well is Spiritofthegames who is on a very good mark.
Despite being held up, there was a wonderful third-place finish by him at the Cheltenham Festival in the Paddy Power Plate.
He could make his presence felt from the same mark.
SENIOR CITIZEN
Senior Citizen warrants respect too as he battled hard with Mac Tottie in the Grand Sefton in October.
He couldn’t get the better of that rival on the day at course and distance. But he was right there and was third in last year’s renewal of the Topham.
FANTASTIC LADY
While she doesn’t have the same level of experience as some of her rivals in this one, Fantastic Lady is thriving right now.
Fantastic Lady missed out on completing a hat-trick when taking a good third in a novices’ chase at Kempton 41 days ago. She’s taken to the fences well this season.
ROYAL RENDEZVOUS
Royal Rendezvous hasn’t looked like slowing up with his current good streak of form.
He rattled off a hat-trick at the start of the campaign, finding only Fakir D’oudairies too good at Clonmel. Royal Rendezvous is refreshed and has claims.
FOXY JACK
Looking like he is the one leading the challenge for the Irish on Friday in the Topham, is Foxy Jack.
He should enter the frame with a nice piece of form coming from a Punchestown Festival win last spring.
He did too much too soon in the recent Ultimate Handicap at Cheltenham, but can get in this.
Predictions & Tips for Aintree Topham Handicap Chase Racing Odds
It’s a fascinating line up that we have to browse through for the 2022 Topham Handicap Chase Tips.
The first section on the list is SENIOR CITIZEN at 12/1* (odds recorded at 20:46 GMT on April 7th, 2022 at Boylesports).
With proven form here at Aintree with a third in last year’s renewal and a win this season at Market Rasen under his belt, he is likely to be a huge threat.
MISTER COFFEY went well in the Kim Muir at the Festival three weeks ago, so can’t be overlooked at 15/2* (odds recorded at 20:46 GMT on April 7th, 2022 at Boylesports).
He’s carrying some decent form this season as he looks close to getting off the mark in this sphere.
SPIRITOFTHEGAMES at 16/1 is the first of the longer-priced selections* (odds recorded at 20:46 GMT on April 7th, 2022 at Boylesports).
He returns on a good mark and has been in the frame the last twice, including a good third at the Cheltenham Festival in the Plate.
The final shortlisted selection in Topham Handicap Chase tips is ROYAL RENDEZVOUS at 14/1* (odds recorded at 20:46 GMT on April 7th, 2022 at Boylesports).
He is a high-class operator and has racked up three wins in four runs this year. He couldn’t take down Fakir D’oudairies at Clonmel last time out, but that was no disgrace.
