Tricky Trickster Odds & Grand National Form
Very young to be considered a Grand National prospect and, at the time of writing has only had four races over fences and seven races under Rules in total in his fledgling career.
Tricky Trickster was owned by the Million In Mind partnership in 07/08 and the multiple owners of that club had great fun with a win in a novice handicap chase at Newbury and emphatic ten length success in the NH Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Nigel Twiston-Davies trained the youngster to his Festival victory but as the Million In Mind horses all go to the sales at the end of the season, this horse was bought for an owner in Paul Nicholls' yard at the Doncaster Sales. £320,000 was invested for this son of Oscar and Nicholls is reportedly very excited at the prospect of training the horse in 08/09.
Starts the season 22lb higher than his last victory in a handicap so Mr Nicholls might have his hands full trying to ensure his owner gets a decent run for 300k+.
Obviously stamina won't be a problem with regards to the National but inexperience and youth could well be and whilst NH Chase winners should theoretically do well in the National with Butlers Cabin and Hot Weld winning other big staying races races, no NH Chase winner as gone on to win the Grand National itself in recent years.
