8th Apr 2016 | Grand National
Grand National Odds: Many Clouds
Won the Grand National last year and the handicapper has given him a chance to repeat. Looked as good as ever when winning prep-race.
Many Clouds
form: 1-6221
weight: 11-9
age: 9
trainer: Oliver Sherwood
jockey: Leighton Aspell
Verdict: Hennessy winner and now Grand National winner after beating Saint Are in the 2015 renewal. Carries 1lbs more in weight than last year but in relative terms is 5lbs worse off to his rivals. Nevertheless he seems better than ever and warmed up with a facile victory at Kelso over an inadequate trip. Leighton Aspell going for his third consecutive win in the race.
Rating: 8/10
