The Paul Nicholls-trained horse, who had been as big as 11-1 earlier in the week, was an easy winner of the 2m Red Rum Handicap Chase.

Frost saw off the heavily-punted, Willie Mullins-trained Saint Roi by four lengths.

It was another short-priced winner near the head of the market – but one particularly tasty for Harris.

The owner of potential superstars Peaky Boy and Willmount showed his epic £42,000 winnings from a series of bets.

He raided the Aintree bookies with a series of punts ranging from £2,000 to £500.

So while he had a lot on the line, there was never a moment’s doubt for the horse.

And he walked away from Aintree significantly better off after playing a blinder.

Four favourites won on the day in the shape of Sir Gino, Gerri Colombe, Impaire Et Passe and Its On The Line.

Grey Dawning was one of the only big favourites to let punters down, folding tamely in the opening Grade 1 Novices’ Chase after going off 11-10.

But the real punting won’t start until Grand National day on Saturday.

Again it’s Mullins whose horses are being backed by those desperate to find the winner.

Bookies William Hill reported a ‘torrent’ of money for the JP McManus-owned Meetingofthewaters in the big one.

He was one of 34 horses declared for the world’s most famous race, to be run at 4pm on Saturday.
