About The Aintree Bowl
First run in 1984, the Bowl has grown into a fantastic race on the National Hunt calendar and more than just a consolation for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The race itself is run over just shy of 3m1f and is a Grade 1 race for horses aged five and over, with 19 fences to be jumped.
Only four horses have ever won the Bowl on more than one occasion, with Silviniaco Conti the last two to do so, and it can be a tough race for punters to decode - with the race coming at the end of a long campaign.
There is no doubt that the 2020 race will be hotly anticipated once again and it will be fascinating to see which equine superstar can become the latest name to win the Liverpool contest.
Nicky Henderson's Shishkin was a gutsy winner of the Aintree Bowl, as the Seven Barrows raider reeled in Ahoy Senor in a thrilling renewal in 2023.
Latest Betting
SHISHKIN is back to defend his title in 2024, as is the horse he just caught AHOY SENOR. Neither are favourite, however, as with the ground soft to heavy for Day One GERRI COLOMBE looks tailormade for this contest.
