Introduction
*******First reserve - will only run if there are subsequent non-runners******
Ain’t That A Shame has run in the Grand National twice before, once when tailed off in seventeenth place three-years-ago and then running much better when finishing sixth behind I Am Maximus two years ago.
Since that second run in the National, he has only seen a racecourse once in nearly two years and that was when falling at Kelso at the end of February.
This gelding is twelve-year-old now and has since moved stables after being sold as part of David Maxwell’s dispersal sale and is now trained by Tom Ellis. The handicapper has given Ain’t That A Shame anice reduction in his handicap mark and he will run from a mark of eight pounds lower than his good run two years ago.
It’s very difficult to guess how much ability Ain’t That A Shame retains and but the fact that he is a well-handicapped horse who has shown a liking for the course may make him attractive to the more optimistic each-way punters.
