But there has only been one Cheltenham Festival winner who has followed up in the Grand National since 1961.

That is true Godspot, Cheltenham does take it out of you. But Sunnyhillboy is relatively fresh horse running just 3 races this season. how he stayed on at cheltenham makes me think he will be
there abouts at Aintree. they use to say you want a 2mile 6 furlong horse for the National, not just a out and out stayer but a horse with a finish as they only hunt round the first circuit. Jonjo would love to win the race as would JP Mcmanus. Not sure what AP is riding yet but will be a good indication of chances if he does.

Couple of runs back Nick Mordin was saying that he lacks the size for Aintree & would be better off at Fairyhouse but now

he makes the Mordin final 4 qualifiers on all his trends & stats etc along with, Killyglen, The Midnight Club (bf last year & ground could come right this), Sunnyhill Boy & Treacle who he suggests should be dutched individually & then do combination FC's for a big payout, yah! :rolleyes:

Ran a great race and i feel a dead heat would have been justice after 4 miles. Well done Neptune but heartfelt commisaration.
