Tiger Roll Odds and Grand National Form 2021

Tiger Roll was very unfortunate not to get the opportunity to try and win the Grand National in three consecutive years, but he will surely get a chance to complete his hat-trick in the 2021 Grand National. Comparisons are inevitably going to be made with Grand National legend Red Rum who won three Grand Nationals but he achieved those three wins over a period of five years. Can Tiger Roll achieve what even Red Rum could not? Tiger Roll has confounded the critics who first said he was too small to jump Aintree fences and then said that the additional weight he had to carry last year would be his undoing. The Gordon Elliott trained gelding is an enigma in that he had the speed to win four races at around two miles (including the Triumph Hurdle) but also the required stamina to win events such as the National Hunt Chase and the Grand National. Undoubtedly, the little horse is one of the iconic stars of National Hunt racing with four wins at the Cheltenham Festival in three different races, as well as being the first horse to retain the Grand National in forty-five years.

Tiger Roll disappointed in his comeback for the 20/21 season when pulling up in a cross-country race at the Cheltenham November meeting. Connections remain adamant that Tiger Roll will not be retired and as long as he runs well at Cheltenham in March then he will probably also line up at Aintree.
