8th Apr 2016 | Grand National
Grand National Odds: Boston Bob
Four-time Grade 1 winner and won a respected National trial in Ireland last time out, despite the ground going against him. A mark of 151 looks generous and a player.
Boston Bob
form: 0-50P1
weight: 10-10
age: 11
trainer: W P Mullins
jockey: Paul Townend
Verdict: Four-time Grade 1 winner including the Melling Chase at Aintree in 2014. Won the BobbyJo Chase, often a good National trial, on heavy ground that wouldn’t have suited him. A mark of 151 is more than fair considering he was rated in the low-160s last season.
Rating: 8/10
