Join us at the Meydan Hotel Terrace on Saturday 10th April for Live coverage of the Aintree meeting and the world famous Grand National, will Tony McCoy have chosen the right Jonjo O'Neill horse to ride after all the UK rain that has fallen or do you know a rank outsider to match the long priced Irish National winner Bluesea Cracker.
It is not just the "National" saturday with the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle taking place with the second, third and fourth placed horses from the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle renewing rivalry. But the feature is the puzzle with the Paul Nicholls trained Big Fella Thanks likely to go off the favourite under Ruby Walsh, Mon Mome last years winner comes to this race in fine fettle having ran a superb third place to Imperial Commander in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. This is Grade 1 form and although having to carry a lot of weight he will have his followers, Venetia Williams will be hoping for a repeat win with Aidan Coleman taking the ride. Liam Tredwell the winning rider on Mon Mome last season rides for Paul Nicholls on outsider Nozic, Barry Geraghty will ride another smart Paul Nicholls performer Tricky Trickster whose form in the Gold Cup was not up to his usual standard but on softened ground he could be the one to watch. |
