Former Premier League football manager Harry Redknapp will be there hoping to build on his huge wins at Cheltenham last month.

The 77-year-old sporting legend claimed his first win at Prestbury Park after Shakem Up’Arry raced to victory in the Magners Plate.
Redknapp earned a cool £67,542 after the 10-year-old triumphed at Cheltenham earlier this year.
But what horses is the former West Ham and Tottenham manager running at Aintree this year?
What horses is Harry Redknapp running at Aintree?
Redknapp will have TWO runners at the Aintree Festival this year.
He will run Shakem Up’Arry in the 4.05pm Randox Supports Race Against Dementia Topham Chase on Ladies Day (Friday).
On the same day, The Jukebox Man has been declared to compete in the Cavani Sartorial Menswear Sefton Novices’ Hurdle at 4.40pm.
Should both of Redknapp’s Ladies Day winners take first place, the football legend could go home from Aintree £140,000 better off.
Why is Shakem Up’Arry not running in the Grand National?
Shakem Up’Arry will NOT run in the Grand National this year after it was officially declared to compete in Friday’s Topham Handicap Chase instead.
The 10-year-old was initially in contention to run in Aintree’s featured race but due to commitments in the Topham Handicap Chase, Redknapp’s horse won’t run in the Grand National.
