Irish trainer sends one horse on the 900-mile round trip to Carlisle on Sunday
2 hours ago
This year’s renewal of the famous race can go the way of CANTLOW, who stays this trip out very strongly and was a good second twelve months ago despite a massive weight. He is a stone lower at the weights for his bid this year and the ground was plenty soft enough for him at Cheltenham last time, so a bounce back to form looks inevitable. Auvergnat has a huge weight to carry which may be his undoing and the quick turnaround from the Grand National for Bless The Wings may just prove too much for him.
