Lostintranslation
Horse age: 10 Trainer: Colin Tizzard Jockey: Harry Cobden Horse star sign: Taurus Horse trained at: England - South West Jockey silks colour: Yellow
Lostintransaltion has spent most of his career up to now taking on the very best and has won two races at Grade One level (the Mildmay Novices Chase at Aintree and the Betfair Chase) and has finished placed in a Gold Cup. The Colin Tizzard gelding has obviously suffered from issues with his breathing in recent seasons and has had three wind operations since December 2019. The latest wind operation was in August 2021 and Lostintranslation made it back to the winner's enclosure on his first run back after surgery when taking the Grade Two 1965 Chase at Ascot. Unfortunately, his three runs since then have been mediocre culminating last month in his first-ever run in a handicap when finishing eighth in the Ultima Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. The handicapper decided to drop the gelding to a mark of 150 after that race but, unfortunately for the horse's connections, he was rated at 157 when the weights were released for the National so he is effectively seven pounds worse off in the National than he would be in any other handicap. Assistant trainer Joe Tizzard has been quoted as saying that Lostintranslation has become ' a bit hit and miss at the moment' and he also went on to say that he probably needs good ground to show his best as he has gotten older. With the question marks about his breathing, his in and out form and having to race seven pounds higher than he is rated in the National, Lostintranslation seems to have a lot going against him at Aintree.
