State Of Play Odds and Grand National Form

Ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Grand National last year where he challenged for the lead at the second last and looked like he might go on and win the race. However his stamina just gave way in the last furlong and he ended up eighteen lengths behind Mon Mome at the finish. Well handled by Evan Williams, he has won the 2006 Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury and the 2008 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby so not afraid to win a big race but can be a difficult horse to work out as consistency does not seem to be his strong point. Connections have come to the conclusion that he is at his best when fresh and four of his five wins over fences have come when returning after an extended break. Has been lightly raced in 09/10 and aimed at Aintree once again to see if he can improve on last year's placing.
