William Hill Handicap Hurdle (13.20) Preview
Five non -runners in the apri but still a very competitive handicap obstacle to reveal. The first two current in bets, Keep it AND Act of authority, They were both placed in races similar to the Cheltenham Festival last month (respectively the Pertemps final and Martin’s pipe) while the novice Bill Joyce So far it has mixed it in a graduated company and makes its debut with handicap here. There are also two runners trained by the Irish with victories for the last time Timmy Tuesday AND Rushmount, And while the shape of Gordon Elliott’s stable is a sort of concern – he has had a strike rate of 8 % in the last fifteen days – there is a lot to appreciate from Timmy Tuesday, who has published a strong time when it is successful at Down Royal in March and it seems that it is even better now approaches three miles.
Selection: Timmy Tuesday
News … from the flat races they have just broken. Hayley Turner, a pilot winner of the group and the first woman to collaborate 100 dishes winners in Great Britain in a single calendar year, announced that the saddle is stopping.
Turner said: “I decided to retire from being a jockey following my winner in Southwell last week, especially because I did my first tour of the racecourse on March 27, 2000. I am very excited to announce that I am also living a child in October, all right, which I have planned in the last two years. My family and I am all very enthusiastic.
“I would like to thank all those who have supported me over the years, in particular Michael Bell, David Simcock, Andrew Balding and Harry Eustace. I would also like to thank my driving agent, Guy Jewell, who was my agent for most of my career. I can’t wait for my next life chapter but I will focus on the child in the short term.”
If you go to the national team, take a trip to the track. The fences are not so frightening of course, but it is still a unique trace. The Racing Post Lee Mottershead writer was around the course this morning.
Some great heroes who have passed that post first are there today including the great winner of the double national Tiger Roll.

Hello and welcome to Grand National Day, the biggest day of the racing year is not an event that really transcends sport. Personally, I loved the days before the man of weight and racing measures, Phil “Tinkerman” Smith, I started playing with the race, but in these days it is really wide open and the lists have become more and more long-one has an opinion that is not so easily fired and consequently more and more people have a bet. The end of the Topham Trophy, the race exceeds national fences the day before the race of each year, summarized the new National … Lot in with the possibility of the last fence, the Irish prevailed the first five and a class horse. The tombs Matt have written very interesting on the “plastic national team” and what kind of horse follow this year Here On the Racing TV website. Whatever your imagination is, good luck!
Topham Forerunner of the Grand National? They load at the last. The first five Irish. The class horse (with a winning shape of grade one) prevails. pic.twitter.com/tjtcw2k3zx

Preamble
Greg Wood
Hi from Aintrene, where the sun shines and a crowd of 55,000 capacities is assembling for the Grand National of 2025 – the race that still stops the nation (or perhaps Up to a thirdin any case).
The first two days of the meeting saw some beautiful performances and excellent races, but when All is said and done, the Aintrene Festival is all about a race and despite the complaints in some neighborhoods that it is not what it was, this year’s National could hardly offer a greater depth of possibilities.
Many of these possibilities, of course, are bringing the same green and gold colors as JP Mcmanus, and the owner-that will take the single check of the record of all time for the national winners with four if one of his five runners returns home in front-he has the first three in the bets: the Am Maximus, who won last year, Iroko and Perceval Legallois.
Mcmanus is experiencing one of the best seasons of his half century as owner and he had two winners here yesterday including the gentleman of Mee, in the Topham Chase on national fences, which has reached the considerable company to pass the entire field to win.
They are therefore the 12-1 bar, the three, who take Stumewn, the winner of the Cross Country last month in Cheltenham, and the former winner of King George, Hewick, while a series of alternatives to a juicy price of each streets align behind.
The future on Grand National The course is good on foot-it has been watered furiously for the last two-month weeks is a good ground on Mildmay’s path, which stages the other six races on today’s card. This led to a few non -runners through paper, in particular Drain, The probable favorite, in the first novice obstacle to 1.50.
But the field of great breed is assembled and intact, it is the largest collective day of the nation at the races and, as always, all the news, intuitions and actions will be here on the blog from the first race to the last.
