Randox Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (GBB Race)
4m 2f 74y
Going: Good to Soft (Good in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneLadbrokes Trophy winner Cloth Cap has been all the rage for this race following his romp at Kelso last month. The Trevor Hemmings-owned nine-year-old is officially 14lb well-in and is expected to give another bold sight out in front, though the bookmakers have, in recent weeks, fully acknowledged his chance in pricing him shorter than Tiger Roll was when successfully defending his National crown in 2019. There are some fascinating rivals in opposition, and perhaps it might be worth siding with BURROWS SAINT, who looks the pick of the Irish challengers, each-way. Willie Mullins' eight-year-old boasts the dream profile for the race, has ground conditions in his favour and, in truth, his handler has probably been eyeing up this contest ever since he crossed the line in front in the 2019 Irish Grand National. Any Second Now is most interesting of JP McManus' seven declared runners as he was given a quiet prep before registering a 10-length victory at Navan in the Webster Cup, over a trip c
