Grand National: Can Cheltenham’s top performers challenge at Aintree?

A big question among punters is whether the top performing horses at the Cheltenham Festival can still be at their peak to challenge in the National.

Over the last decade 21 winners (20 placed) from 71 runners (29.58%) followed up with a win at Aintree after a victory at the Cheltenham Festival.

Scottish trainer Lucinda Russell is delighted with favourite Corach Rambler’s Grand National preparation.

The nine-year-old became the fourth back-to-back winner of the Cheltenham Festival’s Handicap Chase in March.

Russell stated that after Cheltenham the emphasis for Corach Rambler had been on recovery before sharpening him up for Aintree. Russell is the partner of National Hunt legend Peter Scudamore and the eight-time champion jockey has been riding Corach Rambler every day.
