Grand National Festival - 11 -13 April 2024

[Ken4155]

The Grand National festival begins today and runs until Sat, with the big race itself due off at 4 pm. There is an ITV7 which, as one wpuld expect, is mainly catered for by 5 races from Aintree, with Souhwell providing a supporting role with the other two races. The first leg is at 2.20.

There are some smallish fields with well fancied favs and i will be keen to see if Nicky Henderson's stable is over whatever ailed it during cheltenham.
