Latenightpass
Horse age: 11 Trainer: Tom Ellis Jockey: Gina Andrews Horse star sign: Aries Horse trained at: England - Midlands Jockey silks colour: White
Latenightpass has spent most of his career running in point to points and hunter chases and has had plenty of success in those spheres. The eleven-year-old gelding has finished first or second in fourteen of his nineteen point to point races. He has had three attempts at the Aintree Foxhunters and has completed on all three occasions, finishing first, second and fourth so he looks a very safe conveyance over the Grand National fences. Trained for most of his career by Tom Ellis, Latenightpass was briefly swapped to the yard of Dan Skelton for the early part of this season where he further enhanced his Grand National claims by winning over the Cross Country course at the December Cheltenham meeting. Now back in the care of Ellis, he is finally going to step up in distance over the Aintree fences and contest the Grand National where he will be partnered by his regular pilot, amateur rider, Gina Edwards. One possible drawback could be age. Horses aged over ten do not have a great recent record in the Grand National. Since Pineau De Re's win as an eleven-year-old in 2014, there have been sixty-nine horses aged eleven or older that have ran in the Grand National and just four have been placed. However, Latenightpass will definitely appeal to lots of Grand National backers with his extensive experience of the Grand National fences and the fact that he has won over the 3m 5f Cheltenham Cross Country course.
