Rachael Blackmore returns to Aintree in 2024 with several rides during the three-day festival of horse racing.

The 34-year-old is now three years on from making history by becoming the first woman to ride a winner in the showpiece race, the Grand National.

But the world's greatest steeplechase will have to wait as Blackmore goes in two races on both Thursday and Friday. Sky Bet have offered some exciting odds on the jockey, as well as on a couple of JP McManus-owned horses on Friday.

Sky Bet have boosted odds on Rachael Blackmore in her two aces on Day 2 of the 2024 Aintree Festival

Blackmore is set to go in the 3:30pm on Envoi Allen and the 4:05pm on board Life In The Park. Sky Bet had given her odds of 9/4 for a top-three finish on the 2023 Cheltenham winner and a top-seven finish for Henry De Bromhead Gelding.

However, those odds have been more all the more enticing after being boosted to 11/4.

Elsewhere, the McManus pair of Mystical Power and Jonbon have also seen their odds boosted for Day 2 runs at Aintree.

Remarkably, the former has three wins in his four races, though that streak came to an end with a second-place finish in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham last month.

Jonbon was also on a winning run before this year's Cheltenham festival, triumphing in the four races he competed in prior to the Clarence House Chase.

It is undeniable that both horses are in fine form and their odds on both winning on Friday have gone from 4/1 to 5/1.
