News
Ms Parfois will miss the
Randox Health Grand National at Aintree after a slight setback compounded fears
about ground unlikely to be soft enough for her.Trainer Anthony Honeyball
revealed the mare has been suffering from a poisoned foot - and although it is
not serious, she was still not sound on Monday.
"She's not
running - it's a combination of factors," said Honeyball. "She's not
quite right. She's had a poisoned foot and is not sound today. We could
probably get her right - but she's not where we want her to be at the
minute."
Last year's one-two Politologue
and Min will renew rivalry in the JLT Chase at Aintree.The Paul
Nicholls-trained Politologue got the better of Willie Mullins' hot favourite
Min by a neck in last season's renewal of a two-and-a-half-mile Grade One
better known as the Melling Chase. Politologue returns to Merseyside in fine
form on Friday, after filling the runner-up spot behind Altior in the Queen
Mother Champion Chase at last month's Cheltenham Festival. Min, on the other hand,
lines up with something to prove - having finished a disappointing fifth in the
same race. The reopposing pair feature in a final field of seven runners. Ruth
Jefferson's stable star Waiting Patiently bids to get back on the winning trail after being blown
away by the Nicholls-trained Cyrname when defending his crown in the Ascot
Chase in February.
If The Cap Fits If The Cap
Fits bypassed Cheltenham with Aintree in mind, and runs in the stayers hurdle
The Punters 3 against the field in the Grand National.
Whilst I would love to see Tiger Roll win again, and I
think he will run a big race he is
no price, so the Punter will go for 3 e/w shots, Rock The Kasbah, Step
Back and Walk in The Mill
