Shakalakaboomboom Odds and Grand National Form 2013
Shakalakaboomboom wasn't particularly setting the world alight in his novice year over fences having been well beaten at the Cheltenham Festival and when stepped up into open handicap company for the Topham at Aintree.
It was, therefore, something of a surprise to see him pop up and win one of the big handicaps at the Punchestown Festival where, despite a last fence blunder, Shakalakaboomboom held off the late challenge of the well regarded Beautiful Sound from the stable of Gordon Elliott.
Stable reports had outlined that this horse had continued to improve and his reappearance in 11/12 underlines this as he won a Cheltenham handicap at the December meeting seeing off the likes of Knockara Beau, Mon Parrain and Fair Along.
Nicky Henderson has reported that this son of Anshan enjoyed his experience of the National fences in the Topham last year but the 2m 6f trip was just too short for the horse. Henderson recently stated that Shakalakaboomboom’s preparation had gone ‘perfectly’ and the trainer believes that his charge has a decent weight saying ‘I think 10st 12lb is an area horses can win from and he's in good form. It's nice he's been there once before.’
Another bonus is that stable jockey Barry Geraghty is likely to be on board. Geraghty has as good a record as any jockey currently riding with a win and four placed rides in the last ten years.
