The Grand National is run over two complete circuits taking in sixteen spruce fences first time round and fourteen the second, and, in spite of welcome modifications to the fences in recent years, the race still provides one of the toughest tests ever devised for horse and rider. The run from the final fence to the winning post is 494 yards long and includes an elbow.

    FACTFILES FOR THE 40 DECLARED RUNNERS IN THE 2013 JOHN SMITH’S GRAND NATIONAL ACROSS THE BAY (IRE) FACTFILE b g Bob’s Return(IRE) - The Southern (IRE) (Glacial Storm (USA)) 9-11-02 Form: 3/14512/49312U2/PP1P8/782425P3-11271 Owner: Scotch Piper Syndicate Trainer: Donald McCain Jockey: Henry Brooke Breeder: Noel McLoughlin Across The Bay Across The Bay, foaled on April 9, 2004, has raced 31 times for seven victories, most recently a length and a quarter defeat of Trustan Times in a Grade Two hurdle on heavy ground at Haydock in February. The bay gelding, bred by Noel McLoughlin, started his career as a four-year-old with Noel Meade in Ireland, who acquired him for 25,000 euros as an unbroken three-year-old. Across The Bay won a bumper at Navan second time out, before adding hurdles at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown and a chase at Naas. Two weeks after finishing unplaced in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in May 2011 he was sent to the Doncaster Spring Sales, where he was knocked down for £10,000, though he has carried on racing in the name of the Scotch Piper Syndicate. After he went under the hammer he transferred from Meade to Donald McCain, with all his 11 runs since in Britain. At the John Smith’s Grand National meeting last year he finished a creditable third to Big Buck’s in the BGC Partners Liverpool Hurdle. He resumed over fences this season with victories at Kelso and Carlisle on November 12, when he beat last year’s Grand National fourth Cappa Bleu by 28 lengths in heavy ground at level weights.
