Verdict

It's hard to look past the tried and tested performers around here and it might be worth taking a chance on two-time course and distance winner JOSIES ORDERS who gets more than a stone off the Grand National winner Tiger Roll. This may be used as a prep run for the latter who will surely be targeting another Grand National down the line. Bless The Wings is a lively contender if ready to go on return.
  1. Josies Orders
