Race Analysis
The 2025 Grand National where the absence of Inothewayurthinkin has changed the complexion of this contest dramatically. Owner JP McManus might still provide the winner thanks to IROKO (18) who looks to have been trained for this all season. Could prove to be on a handy mark after following home a former G1 winner over an inadequate trip at Kelso last time. Consider. Winning the Irish Grand National last year INTENSE RAFFLES (19) posted a good effort in defeat when second tackling the G3 Bobbyjo Handicap Chase at Gowran in latest. STUMPTOWN (10) is hard to ignore after a victory in the Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Defending champion I AM MAXIMUS (1) cannot be ignored despite carrying top weight. HEWICK (5) and the unexposed HYLAND (30) are others to note.
