Saint can land National for the Mullins family
Willie Mullins has had the Grand National in mind for Burrows Saint for a while.
PLENTY will be searching for the name of Tiger Roll when they look at the 40 runners for this year’s Randox Grand National (5.15pm), but sadly connections opted not to attempt a record-equalling third win with the 11-year-old who could be back in 12 months’ time.
The Irish, who notably dominated the Cheltenham Festival and have won three of the last four renewals, are still strongly represented with seven of the first 10 in the betting.
However, the big race favourite is trained on these shores (admittedly by an Irishman) and looks to hold leading claims.
