Rhys has been a racing analyst for over 10 years, working for At The Races and most recently as a tipster for Betfair where his tipping column had a 31% ROI over four and a half years.
He often focuses away from the front end of the market, finding angles that aren't evident to most.
His profit and loss stands at -1.45 points from 29.0 points staked, with returns of 27.55 points.
Here is Rhys' tips for Saturday, using the most up-to-date odds from the best horse racing betting sites.
12:24 Aintree: Dixie Mafia - 0.5pt Win @ 9/1
This race has ended up being much weaker than it looked at the five day stage and a couple of horses having their first starts in handicaps for Christian Williams appeal at the prices.
Dixie Mafia showed a good level of ability in points for Pat Doyle and while I have questions over whether he will necessarily repeat that level under rules and for this trip, he looks a little overpriced.
He always showed ability in the pointing field when with Doyle but his jumping let him down on several occasions.
However, his performance behind Jarrive De Mee and Millforce and his first two starts last season showed his quality when able to get round and would suggest he has more ability than his opening rating of 104.

This is much easier company than he’s faced on his two starts in maiden and novice hurdles this season.
While I have a doubt over whether he necessarily wants this trip over hurdles given the speed he showed in points, I think it will be more suitable than the two mile trip he raced over last time.
Any 7/1 or bigger appeals.
12:24 Aintree: Bombay Pete - 0.5pt win 40/1
Bombay Pete faced some decent rivals and ran with credit before coming down at the last on his point debut, and while he’s another who I have a trip question over at this time in his career, his price is too big to ignore on his handicap debut.
He didn’t run too badly on his debut for the yard in a bumper behind Captain Hugo and ran respectably on his first two starts over hurdles before finishing well beaten last time.
Given the way he travelled before fading late on in his point, I’m a bit concerned over whether he will get home over this far over hurdles.
However, I think it will at least be more suitable for him than the two miles he’s been running over so far under rules and a mark of 94 could underplay his ability based on the point run. Any 25/1 or bigger appeals.
