Grand National Lucky Dip
We've picked a grand national horse at random for you. You can also pick your horse based on it star sign, the colour of the Jockeys silks or where the horse is trained. Good Luck!
Jagwar
Jagwar had a superb first season over fences last year winning four races from five attempts, including the Novices Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
That victory at Cheltenham came from a mark of 139 and the seven-year-old gelding will carry thirteen pounds more should he line up in the Grand National. This season he has run twice so far in two valuable Cheltenham middle-distance handicaps and has only been narrowly beaten in both.
Jagwar’s supporters for the Grand National are making a big leap of faith regarding his stamina for the four-and-a-quarter mile test at Aintree as the horse has yet to run further than two miles and five furlongs. Connections are aiming the JP McManus horse first at this year’s Cheltenham Festival with the three-mile Ultima Chase as the target before a possible tilt at the Grand National. With stamina still under question, Jagwar fans would probably best to wait until after Cheltenham before placing any Grand National bets.
