A later post today. I saw a bit of Aintree, I missed the 4.05 the Randox Health Topham Trophy over the National fences. Barry Geraghty has been taken to hospital after a fall from Peregrine, it has been reported that he has a possible leg fracture, awful luck for him if he has. The remainder of the evening has racing at Wolverhampton and Wexford in Ireland. I do think Birch Grove has a good chance at Wolverhampton 7.30, she is a winner at the track, it is her first run for 150 days, so she will improve for it, but I like her young jockey. Dylan Hogan claims the 5lb allowance, but is good value for it. In the 8.00 there has been strong support for Rhossli Down, she has had two runs showing promise last season, Roma Bangkok is the likely main threat, he is a winner last year, and could take a step forward from his recent run, it could well be a good race.
I will try and give followers something each way in the Grand National tomorrow. I do think Tiger Roll will like it if the ground dries, he is flat bred, having been originally with Godolphin ! He is the class horse in the race, if he gets a clear run round, he has a favourites chance to win it again.
