FARCEUR DU LARGE shaped as if still in very good form when fifth in the Midlands Grand National here 7 weeks ago, the combination of the much longer trip and a stopping blunder in the straight exaggerating the distance he was beaten, and he's fancied to resume winning ways back down in distance. Ballygrifincottage is another who shaped better than the bare result when seventh in the Scottish National and rates a big threat if this doesn't come too soon. In-form Imperial Alex is best of the rest.
