Conti leads Bowl field.

Silviniaco Conti will attempt to atone for a late departure in the Cheltenham Gold Cup when he lines up in the Betfred Bowl at Aintree on Thursday.
The Paul Nicholls-trained chaser has already won the Charlie Hall Chase, Betfair Chase and Denman Chase this season and looked sure to be involved in the blue riband when crashing out three fences from home.

Zarkandar to wear blinkers.

Zarkandar will wear blinkers for the first time over hurdles in Thursday's John Smith's Aintree Hurdle after pleasing in a workout in headgear at trainer Paul Nicholls' Ditcheat base this morning.
The 2011 Triumph Hurdle winner was a shade disappointing in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last month and Nicholls is hoping headgear will work the oracle with the son of Azamour, a faller in this race 12 months ago.
