Vic Venturi Odds and Grand National Form
Similar profile to Dessie Hughes' other Grand National candidate Black Apalachi in that both horses had entered their Becher Chase winning season on a long losing streak but managed to find their form at the right time.
Vic Venturi won his race prior to Aintree but before that we have to go back to October 2006 to find his last winning run. Amazingly during that barren run his handicap mark rose by eleven pounds as a result of finishing runner-up in three top-quality handicaps so it remains to be seen if there will be much improvement left to find now he has found a winning thread.
He was put up a further six pounds for his win in the Becher and that was an eight runner race that was quite slowly run in the early stages so it may not have been much of a comparison as to what to expect in the National itself. Some of Vic Venturi's jumping was a little ponderous in that race and it would be doubtful he could jump so deliberately in April and be able to be competitive.
