Discorama seems to have been around a while but has experience of the fences and a touch of class that can help see him involved. That looks like the best trial for this as Any Second Now was third last year and must go close again but preference is for the younger rival. Unfortunately he suffered a heavy fall at the third fence, but he is not out of it if that has not dented his confidence. It is five years since this admirable veteran finished fourth when favourite for the 2017 Grand National. He was brought down in 2018 and finished sixth 12 months ago. However, he was pulled up in last year’s renewal and it would be quite a surprise if he manages to win it at the fourth attempt at the age of 12. Pulled up when all the rage for last year’s renewal and it subsequently transpired he was suffering from a breathing problem. Perhaps a return to better ground and the National fences will rekindle the fire, but it requires a big leap of faith. A third-placed finish in the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle offers hope, but he did not run as well at Kelso last time. Leading owner JP McManus has snapped him up since a creditable effort over hurdles at the Dublin Racing Festival and he is undoubtedly a leading contender. Not completely dismissed but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing run in the Bobbyjo and is another who would prefer softer ground. Third in the National Hunt Chase last season behind two Grade One winners and his whole campaign has been focused on this. Had his campaign built around the National Hunt Chase in which he was second and this might be an afterthought.

Fans are back at the course on Grand National day for the first time since 2019, and Rachael Blackmore will undoubtedly get a superb reception. For a novice chaser, he has a wealth of experience in big-field handicaps that can stand him in excellent stead here and in Davy Russell he has one of the best riders of the National fences to assist him. Any Second Now was another to have run a cracker in last year’s Grand National and he too looks to have taken aim at this race ever since last year. Delta Work - In the same colours as Tiger Roll and has followed the Tiger route winning the cross-country at Cheltenham on the way here. Gentleman De Mee was never headed and stretched clear of Edwardstone after the last! "The weight is not ideal, but that's the situation we're in. However, that pair could well be eclipsed by their stablemate MOUNT IDA, who looked mightily impressive in the 2021 Kim Muir Challenge Cup on her only try to date beyond 3 miles. Another of interest whose stamina could be questioned is Burrows Saint, who almost jumped and travelled too well for his own good in last year’s race, looking a major danger to all three out only to fade markedly late on. Her allotted weight looks more than fair and she is an excellent jumper; her leading question mark is stamina at the 4m 2½f trip. Used to be regarded as heavy ground specialist but now looking equally adept on the sort of ground he will get at Aintree. Any Second Now. The hard luck story in last year’s race when he had to step over a faller at the 12th which knocked him back to almost last. A lot more going for her than just her colour and sex though.

Grand National tips and favourites for Saturday race at Aintree (Liverpool Echo)
Grand National tips for the big race at Aintree 2022 with favourites, nap and latest odds.
Again Irish raiders look the most likely to be involved in the finish of the race and Martin Brassill’s Longhouse Poet – despite his relative inexperience – is an interesting runner. There are plenty of his rivals who could go well and Minella Times bids to become only the ninth dual winner in Grand National history. Enjoy D’allen – who will run in the famous green and gold colours of new owner JP McManus for the first time at Aintree – looks to have all the right attributes to triumph. Ted Walsh’s Any Second Now – fresh from his win in the Bobbyjo Chase – was third last year and should run another big race. He appears to have a similar profile to last year’s winner Minella Times, who gave McManus a second victory in the race. And it’s Enjoy D’allen who makes the most persuasive argument in being the first past the past around 5.25pm on Saturday afternoon.

Mark Walsh, on a double for the day, pays another tribute to Sire Du Berlais’ trainer Gordon Elliott. “He had him in tip-top shape.” That was a surprise win but one from a class horse that’s won two Pertemps Hurdles at Cheltenham, even if he did struggle in the same race this year. This music, from the film Champions, can bring a tear to the eye of even the hardest-hearted punter. Carried his rider into the history books 12 months ago as a flawless, ground-saving ride by Rachael Blackmore kept him out of trouble and in the right place to strike for home two out.

Sam Waley-Cohen, the winning jockey, a close pal of Prince William and Kate Middleton, has been a top rider for many years now, an amateur in only the sense that he didn’t get paid. And many congratulations to the Waley-Cohen clan and trainer Emmet Mullins.

“He’s good,” said Mullins. “He had a vet check the other day and everything is going well. I was hoping our freshness might be the right card to play and it looked like that. Mark felt he was always in charge. He’s maturing and growing into himself. I’d say the better ground helped him.” Champ kept on for third, beaten 20 lengths, with Thomas Darby a head back in fourth. "If he is a happy boy doing it, I do think he will stay. "She’s a lovely mare. He jumped eight fences of different sorts this morning just to keep his mind on something new and that was all good.
