Richard Pitman's Aintree course guide
|
E. VALENTINE'S BROOK
Valentine's Brook precedes one of two open-ditched fences and the Melling Road, but this is mainly a time for regrouping and taking stock of which rivals are intact.
The cinder-covered Melling Road can prompt some horses to momentarily check their headlong charge as the cinders get kicked up under their bellies and into their faces.
Richard Pitman is a BBC TV pundit and former top jockey.
