Snow Leopardess (left), Death Duty and Any Second Now: top Grand National fantasies By James Stevens UPDATE 11:15 AM, APRIL 7, 2022 The Minella Times and Rachael Blackmore lead the field for the Randox Grand National of 2022 after the final 40 for Saturday’s big race at Aintree has been confirmed. At the announcement stage on Thursday, four horses were removed meaning the Eclair Surf – one of the leaders in the race with 14-1 – and Fortescue will do a run under the weights. As expected, Battleoverdoyen and Court Maid were removed, putting Death Duty and Domaine De L’Isle 37th and 38th on the list, but Caribean Boy retired late after pulling his hind thigh and the fancy Farclas was also absent. statements. . Commodore, coached by Venetia Williams, is the first reserve on the list, ahead of School Boy Hours (42), Romain De Senam (43) and Roi Mage (44). Fortescu, number 40, has been cut to 25-1 (out of 33) by William Hill since his place in the starting line-up was confirmed. The eight-year-old who trained with Henry Daly is officially 4 kilos well, having won at Ascot since the weights for the National were published in February. 5.15 Aintree Saturday: Randox Grand National racecard and bets Daly said Thursday morning: “It was not a good morning looking at the decks, but this is a race. It would be very frustrating to be 4 pounds well in and not get in. Now he has to go and prove it. He gallops, he does he jumps and stays – I do not know what else you need, but I never won, we’ll find out, right? “ Hugh Nugent rider is one of six riders to make their first National Ride with Enjoy D’Allen rider Conor Orr looking the most likely to make his winning debut, according to the bet. Tommy Dowson (Top Ville Ben), Ricky Doyle (Freewheelin Dylan), Kevin Brogan (Phoenix Way), Jordan Gainford (Death Duty) and Harry Bannister (Domaine De L’Isle) will face the iconic handicap for the first time times on Saturday. . Three debutants have beaten the National in the last decade, however. Meanwhile, the impressive winner of the Classic Chase Eclair Surf has dropped to 12-1 (out of 14) with most companies. The Eider form of the second after Win My Wings was given a big boost last weekend, when this opponent followed in the Scottish National. The Snow Leopardess remains the 7-1 favorite for the Grand National and will claim to be the first mare to win the race since 1951. It is number 31 on the list, with Aidan Coleman’s mountain weighing 10 to 9 pounds.

That victory meant Rachael Blackmore became the first woman to lead the Grand National winner and last month became the first woman to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup. It will appear to be only the second in 40 years to win both races in the same season – Jim Culloty was honored in 2002. Gordon Elliott is in charge of seven of the runners, including the well-supported Delta Work, who comes here after winning the Cheltenham Festival last month. Escaria Ten and Run Wild Fred are also fancy. Can jockey star Rachael Blackmore repeat last year’s Aintree heroism? Colin Tizzard, who is retiring at the end of the season, has confirmed that Lostintranslation and Fiddlerontheroof will run, while Willie Mullins has four in the race with regular rider Paul Townend closing in on the Burrows Saint. Mark Walsh and Any Second Now were an unlucky third behind the Minella Times 12 months ago and are back at Aintree. Blaklion will make his fourth run in the National and will be the oldest runner in the race at the age of 13. There is an equal share of 20 runners trained in Ireland and Britain in the final row. One For Arthur was the last horse to land in the Nationals for the home team in 2017 and Eclair Surf followed the same path by winning at Warwick in January.
