Seventh Sky had been second in the Grand Sefton Chase over the National fences two weeks ago and was even better at the Merseyside course’s sister track.
Under Gavin Sheehan Seventh Sky (10-1) always kept his chief rival Spookydooky at arms length to score a superb win.
While at crack at the Grand National on April 9 in the new year was mooted it is the shorter race, the Topham Chase, over the big Aintree obstacles which will be the target.
Winning jockey Sheehan said: “I haven’t sat on him much this year but I rode him the last day over the big ones and he was electric over them.
“I knew he was in good form and had come on for Aintree.
“I schooled him the other day and he was electric.
“Me and Charlie discussed plans after his run at Liverpool and I think he’d be better in the Topham.
“I don’t think he’d be too far away but in the National it might just drag him out a bit.”
