Gemini Grand National Horses
Below are listed all the horses running in the Grand National which have a star sign of Gemini. You can also pick your horse by the colour the jockey wears, where it is from, or just take a lucky dip. Good Luck!
Galvin
Horse age: 9 Trainer: Gordon Elliott Jockey: Horse star sign: Gemini Horse trained at: Ireland Jockey silks colour: White
The Gordon Elliott trained gelding is a winning machine having won thirteen times already with two sequences of five wins in a row. The highlight of his wins so far was undoubtedly defeating Gold Cup winner A Plus Tard two seasons ago in the Grade One Savills Chase at Leopardstown. Since that memorable victory, Galvin's form has dipped and he has recorded just one win in his last ten races. The slump in form has prompted Gordon Elliott to pursue a Cross Country route with the ten-year-old gelding and Galvin took to the discipline immediately when finishing runner-up to Delta Work in his first race over the Cross Country obstacles at last season's Cheltenham Festival. This season has seen three defeats for Galvin, including two in handicaps on the Cheltenham Cross Country course but he ran really well when finishing fourth in the Grade Two Boyne Hurdle at Navan in February. The ground that day was heavy which would definitely not have been to Galvin's liking but he put in a promising performance and was only five lengths. Undoubtedly at his best on a sounder surface, Galvin is eleven pounds lower than when attempting the Grand National for the first time last season where he unseated Davy Russell at the first fence. At the unveiling of the Grand National weights this year, trainer Gordon Elliott was sweet on Galvin's chance at Aintree and the handicapper has undoubtedly taken a risk with the mark he has given the gelding for this year's Grand National. The main drawbacks to Galvin's hopes would be his preference for good ground and his jumping which can be chancy. However, given he could now be extremely well handicapped, those concerns could be risks worth taking.

Mahler Mission
Horse age: 8 Trainer: John McConnell Jockey: Horse star sign: Gemini Horse trained at: Ireland Jockey silks colour: Blue
Mahler Mission showed plenty of promise over hurdles winning three times including the Grade Two River Don Hurdle at Doncaster and also finishing seventh in the Albert Bartlett Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Trainer John McConnell sent his charge straight over fences the following season and Mahler Mission got off the mark on the third attempt when taking a three mile novice chase at Navan by ten lengths. The son of Mahler then finished a close runner-up in a Grade Two novice chase at the same track and then headed back to Cheltenham for a try at the National Hunt Chase. Mahler Mission put up a great show that day, leading from the sixteenth fence and was still four lengths ahead when falling at the second last. This season has seen the eight-year-old gelding put up two excellent efforts in defeat; firstly when runner-up to Thunder Rock in the Colin Parker at Carlisle, where the distance of two miles four furlongs would have been against him and then only finding Thatsalrightgino too good in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Mahler Mission looks likely to go straight to Aintree where he will definitely be one of the favourites. His combination of front-running and bold jumping will make him a popular choice and his form from the National Hunt Chase suggests he may well have the required stamina to play a part in the finish at Aintree.
