Grand National – Aintree – 4m2f – 5.15pm – Sat 10th Apr Cloth Cap is officially 14lbs well-in but if he were to run in a handicap off his new mark of 162 I’d argue he’s terribly handicapped.

Getting involved here will require a significant step forward but this seems to be a track where Kirby has plenty of success (and runners) so I expect more effort.Continue reading “Wetherby & Down Royal”
