The eight-year-old son of Kayf Tara, who was Liverpool Stayers’ Hurdles last season, is likely to cement his Gr.1 having only his fourth start over fences, treated the former Cheltenham Gold Cup claims in the Gr.2 Cotswold Chase at winners Silviniaco Conti (Dom Alco) and Cue Card (King’s Prestbury Park at the end of January, but Cue Card could head Theatre) to some daring fencing as he tracked the former before straight for the blue riband.

  • Welcome to the April 2015 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the April 2015 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead It’s all about the Aintree Grand National now. Final declarations were made this morning, and all 40 runners stood their ground. We're all set. There is usually a story behind every Grand National winner, behind every Grand National contender, but there could be no better story this year than the one that victory for Shutthefrontdoor and AP McCoy would tell. The champ, riding in his last Grand National, in what would be his last race if he happened to win it. That would be the story of stories. Of course, there are other stories lurking. Like the Pineau De Re story, bidding to become the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum. Or the Lord Windermere or Spring Heeled story, both trying to win for Jim Culloty the trainer, 13 years after Bindaree won for Jim Culloty the rider. Or the First Lieutenant story, Mouse Morris' horse set to be ridden by Nina Carberry. Never before has a female rider won the Grand National. Well, Katie Walsh won the Irish National on Monday, so why not? Here are five things that you might keep in mind as you are searching for the Grand National winner: No seven-year-old has won the National since Bogskar in 1940, and none has finished placed in the race since 1971. That makes it difficult for Cause Of Causes and Unioniste. Bindaree in 2002 is the last eight-year-old to win it, and he was only the third eight-year-old since Red Rum won his first in 1973.

This time round viewers can watch a computer-generated simula- tion, the trailer for which entitles it as ‘the race that never was’. ITV has been reluctant to speculate as to a likely audience figure but interest in the race – in the absence of anything else – has been growing in the days leading up The fi eld for the 2019 Randox Health Grand National lines up at Aintree – don’t miss the 2020 version, a National with a twist, on ITV today to the broadcast.

  • The Card, She Is Trained by Gordon Elliott
    the Weekend card The Sleeper Section Marten Julian Ifubelieveindreams (2yr Bay Filly) This daughter of Iffraaj missed the break and was a little keen towards the rear of the field on her racecourse debut at Lingfield. She then came back on the bridle and was travelling well on the final turn only to run into trouble and find herself tightened up on the rails. But for that she would have made the first three. From her pedigree and the evidence from this run she will be well suited to a mile. No immediate entries Just Minded (5yr Bay Gelding) 3rd 7/1, 3rd 11/10 Just Minded probably didn’t handle the heavy ground when third to De Dollar Man last time out at Ayr. The son of Kayf Tara won his bumper on good ground and then ran a promising third at Wetherby on ground given as good to soft. All that apart, Just Minded probably came up against a decent horse in the winner and I want us to stay with him for one more run hopefully on better ground. He may be one to keep in mind for the spring, perhaps at Aintree. No immediate entries Molly Carew (5yr Bay Mare) WON 33/1 Judging by the market weakness there did not seem to be much confidence behind Molly Carew when she won at Lingfield but it was evident from an early stage that she was travelling comfortably and going just as well as the long odds-on favourite between the last two. Having seen the way she quickened from the home bend before fading the time before at Plumpton I was very hopeful that she would find enough on the run-in to beat the favourite.
