GRAND NATIONAL

***** - outstanding chance

**** - solid claims

*** - each-way consideration

** - slow

* - very slow

 

ANY SECOND NOW - ***

Third off a mark of 152 in 2021 and then second off 159 last year, this year’s top weight will now have to try and defy a mark of a whopping 167 and despite a lovely warm-up victory in the Webster cup over two and a half miles this will surely be too hard an ask at the age of 11.
