Pertemps Final second Jeriko Du Reponet and third Catch Him Derry (second choice) should be in the mix again, the latter representing a yard with a very strong recent record in this. Act Of Authority is another who brings placed form from the Cheltenham Festival and merits respect. The progressive Double Powerful also makes the shortlist but the vote goes to Gordon Elliott's TIMMY TUESDAY. This 7yo's form lines look quite strong and the step up to 3m and a return to a left-handed track promise to suit. [Andrew Sheret]

There are some talented rivals against him but LULAMBA looks the one to beat on his Triumph Hurdle form at Cheltenham where he finished strongly enough to think he will cope with this sharp 2m4f. Horaces Pearl defends an unbeaten record and, although today is a big upgrade for him, he looked extremely promising over this trip at Newbury. He can be the main danger, while Honesty Policy could be a surprise package at a price. Koktail Divin is also likely to be involved.[Emily Weber]

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Low-key effort over 2m on second hurdle start but he'd previously prevented a useful one from having it all his own way over this trip at Leopardstown after Christmas and the return to 2m4f there (also on yielding) paid off handsomely last month; one of the better ones.

Myretown was hugely impressive when making all in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival and a 15lb rise may not stop this unexposed 8yo, but DOCTOR KEN could prove to be quite a bit better than his current mark and earns the vote. He returned from a long absence with a promising second at Kempton in November and this unexposed 9yo could relish today's longer trip. Sam Brown has a good record in this race and is third choice, while Imperial Saint is 3-3 here and could have a big say if seeing out the distance. Richmond Lake and Docpickedme can also run well.[Ben Hutton]

With further improvement plausible, GWENNIE MAY BOY is taken to score on this card for the second year running. Strong Leader, who won this prize 12 months ago, is second choice ahead of The Wallpark who has solid-looking claims. Teahupoo has gained most wins when fresh and, unlike many of these rivals, lacks Aintree form but he's a leading force in the staying division and commands major respect on the figures. Kitzbuhel brings potential, assuming he sees out the trip.[Steve Boow]

Going - Good to soft-good in places; national: good to soft

  • Racing Post Racing Post Verdict

  • William Hill TV  William Hill TV

Irish stables have won six of the last eight Grand Nationals, during which time they had 25 of the 32 horses who finished in the first four, and although the British contingent is not entirely bereft of hope this year, Irish domination can continue. Stumptown, Perceval Legallois and Vanillier all have a serious chance for Gavin Cromwell but last year's winning trainer, Willie Mullins, can prevail again and not through his highest-profile candidate. His top weight I Am Maximus has conspicuous negatives alongside the glaring positive of having hacked up in last year's National and preference is for MINELLA COCOONER (nap), who is one of those that steps up in trip but he can prove well suited by it after ending last season with two fine efforts at about 3m5f, the best of which came on good ground, which may be a crucial pointer given the weather this week. Impressive youngster Intense Raffles beat him in the Irish National and is clearly well handicapped, but he has been running on soft or heavy ground and needs to adjust to a left-handed track. The chief threat to the selection may therefore come this time from Hewick, a proven high-class performer who has earned justified renown with his victories on good and good to soft ground, including in top handicaps and last season's King George. British hopes seem to be centred on Iroko, who brings as much potential as any but also a good deal more guesswork at the trip, while Beauport can run well if he answers the challenge of going left-handed.[Richard Austen]

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  It's impossible to ignore that he's won only once (November 2022) in the last four years; minor honours include second in last three renewals of the Grade 2 Denman Chase at Newbury (2m7f) in February, which made it three creditable seconds from his three starts this term, but it would be bold to predict that this first go beyond 3m will take him back to the winner's enclosure.

L'Eau du Sud and Only By Night are greatly respected on ratings but they look difficult to split on Arkle form and this rematch could go either way. KALIF DU BERLAIS is the strongest alternative given his strike-rate at this sort of distance and the possibility of further improvement.[Steve Boow]

The form of the Champion Bumper gets a run-out and Cheltenham fifth El Cairos not only sets the standard on that excellent effort, but also gives the impression he can improve on it. However, there's plenty of potential on show and, intriguingly, LE LABO is Joseph O'Brien's first bumper runner in Britain for five years. While the selection's performance at Thurles wasn't mind-blowing, he got the job done despite showing glaring signs of inexperience. Koktail Brut and Green Splendour can make their presence felt, while Mossy Fen Road arrives here with his head held high after winning both his races with ease.[Alistair Jones]

Runner Silk El Cairos
136
Mr D Maxwell/ G & J Moore
(24) Form: 1-15 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 4/1 5/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Recruited for 200,000euros after winning an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) last April; won easily at Newbury (good) and held his own in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, finishing a 5l fifth but unlucky not to be closer (met with late interference); that form sets the standard and, seemingly not short of speed, this track should suit him well.
9
Runner Silk Green Splendour
131
Mr P W Mullins/ W P Mullins
(63) Form: 4-15 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 6/1  7/1 6/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Stable last won this in 2016; won a traditionally warm bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas (yielding) and did his best work late in the day when beaten just over 3l in a Grade 2 there in February (soft; just behind Koktail Brut); the second and third horses last time didn't disgrace the form at Cheltenham, finishing seventh and eighth respectively (El Cairos was fifth); needs to find more, clearly, but that's feasible.
13
Runner Silk Mossy Fen Road
123
Paul O'Brien/ Harry Derham
(63) Form: 1-1 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 6/1  5/1 6/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Well bred; odds-on when making most to win his Irish point (heavy) and again strong in the market when emerging from off the pace to collect stylishly in a Wetherby bumper (soft); in good hands and it's impossible to gauge how smart he might be.
12
Runner Silk Le Labo
129
Mr J L Gleeson/ J P O'Brien
(30) Form: 1 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Spotlight
 17/2  13/2 17/2 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Out of unraced half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Binocular; overcame his inexperience to win going away at Thurles (good) and, while improvement is necessary for this, he will be his trainer's first bumper runner in Britain for five years; respected.
11
Runner Silk Koktail Brut
133
Mr Harry Swan/ G Elliott
(63) Form: 1-144 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 8/1 9/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Limitations seemingly exposed since impressing at Fairyhouse in early December and he had no excuses when fourth in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown as he was favourably positioned throughout; lines of form from that race give him a bit to find with El Cairos but he's respected.
10
Runner Silk Kilwaughter
129
M G Nolan/ P Hobbs & J White
(100) Form: 1 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 8/1  9/1 10/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Pulled clear with a subsequent winner at Down Royal in December (2m1f, good to yielding; 12-1) and changed hands for �120,000 the following month; could be interesting for a yard that's had a fine season with its bumper horses (5-10) and there have been once-raced winners of this race.
14
Runner Silk Quaviste
112
Harry Skelton/ D Skelton
(58) Form: 1 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Spotlight
 9/1 11/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  90,000euros 3yo; justified market confidence by only a neck at Huntingdon (good to soft; 2-1) but was good value for his narrow winning margin having been settled out the back, and the runner-up won easily next time; has a lot to find on the figures but he's promising.
15
Runner Silk Scope To Improve
127
Rachael Blackmore/ H De Bromhead
(110) Form: 11 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 12/1 14/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Impressive point winner who hit the line strongly when the clearcut winner of a Naas bumper in December (good to yielding), posting a smart RPR in the process; the last two winners of this race were returning from over 100 days off the track; interesting.
4
Runner Silk Destination Dubai
125
Kielan Woods/ D Killahena & G McPherson
(27) Form: P-P411 Age: 6 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 12/1  14/1 16/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Strong at the finish to win at Hereford (good to soft) and Warwick (good), latterly in a first-time tongue-tie on stable debut; scopey 6yo who should progress further and has posted RPRs that suggest he could hold his own at this higher level.
3
Runner Silk Crackerjacque
125
Sam Twiston-Davies/ A J Honeyball
(63) Form: 51 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 16/1 18/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  From the family of the stable's smart staying chaser Sam Brown and this 5yo kept on best to win on heavy ground at Sandown two months ago (form has been franked); has a bright future but this race offers a different examination altogether.
17
Runner Silk Swingin Safari
121
H Cobden/ P F Nicholls
(106) Form: 2-14 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Spotlight
 20/1  22/1 25/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Hardly impressive in a four-runner race at Wincanton in November (good) and duly came up short in a Listed event here the following month, though in fairness he wasn't the only one left trailing behind a very smart winner; looks vulnerable unless he can raise his game.
2
Runner Silk Camberwell
115
Ben Harvey/ J C McConnell
(125) Form: 5-1 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1 28/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Only fifth in his one point start; Irish raider who was sent to Carlisle for his rules debut (soft; 8-1) and responded well for pressure to win going away; however, that form isn't flashy and this looks a big ask.
5
Runner Silk Edward Sexton
124
Mr D H Dunsdon/ G & J Moore
(19) Form: 231 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Spotlight
 25/1 28/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Ridden by David Dunsdon in all his races and a shade of odds-on when comfortably accounting for his four rivals at Fontwell the final time (1m5f, good); he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up in this company.
8
Runner Silk Gaelic Pride
114
James Bowen/ W Greatrex
(41) Form: 2P-411 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1 28/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  His form in Irish points was no great shakes but he fetched �50,000 after winning at the fourth attempt; this represents a huge rise in class from beating average opposition at Fontwell (soft).
19
Runner Silk Our Boy Stan
117
Ben Jones/ B Pauling
(42) Form: 21 Age: 4 Weight: 10-10
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1 28/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Half-brother to dual Imperial Cup winner Go Dante; second in a Cheltenham Listed race on his debut and readily went one better at Kempton; looks more of a galloper than a quickener and his age group doesn't have a good record in this race.
1
Runner Silk Blofeld
114
B S Hughes/ R Menzies
(40) Form: 1 Age: 6 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1  28/1 33/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Out of a half-sister to Irish National winner Commanche Court; could do no more than win by over 7l on his debut at Ayr but beat only four rivals and the ground was heavy; may lack the gears for a test of this nature.
7
Runner Silk Fountains Blenhein
117
S Bowen/ A J Honeyball
(30) Form: 41 Age: 6 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1  28/1 33/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Fourth in a point bumper; showed the right attitude when making all for a 6l success at Fontwell (good to soft) but this is a very different ball game and he'll improve for longer trips further down the line.
16
Runner Silk Storming George
113
J M Quinlan/ N B King
(71) Form: 1 Age: 5 Weight: 11-4
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1  28/1 33/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  25-1 at Doncaster but well on top in the closing stages despite a troubled run; the placed horses have since done little for the form but he's clearly useful and connections won this three years ago with Lookaway.
20
Runner Silk Unjeu Royal
109
Stan Sheppard/ T Lacey
(47) Form: 1 Age: 4 Weight: 10-10
Spotlight
 25/1  28/1 33/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  It wasn't a strong field that he beat in workmanlike fashion at Southwell (good to soft); can win more races but this is unlikely to be one of them.
18
Runner Silk Frontier Prince
113
J J Burke/ F O'Brien
(57) Form: 231 Age: 4 Weight: 10-10
Distance Winner Spotlight
 50/1  66/1 50/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Stable won this last year with a sharp improver and this gelding will need to be seen in a different light if he's to follow up his Kempton win on soft ground (produced an ordinary RPR); furthermore, this is a tough test for 4yos with plenty having come up short in the last decade.
