Grand National 2022 – Four ante-post picks
Odds appropriate at time of publishing and could additionally be subject to vary.
Snow Leopardess
Not since Nickel Coin in 1951 has a mare received this race but perhaps after Rachael Blackmore broke the mould for female jockeys final time, we may see another triumph for the fairer intercourse on April 9.
Snow Leopardess was insanely gutsy when profitable the Becher Chase over the National fences in December and Charlie Longsdon’s charge impressed when profitable once more at Exeter at the weekend.
She’s nicely down the listing at No 57 but ought to get in. There shall be plenty that like her chances and Magic Of Light went a close second behind Tiger Roll in 2019, so it’s removed from unheralded to have a mare within the combine.
Selection: Snow Leopardess @
Discorama
Paul Nolan’s Discorama went off at 16/1 in the race final yr and finished seventh, well overwhelmed ultimately. Connections might perhaps have been annoyed at not having had a run from November before that outing. He’s now a nine-year-old and ran a fantastic second at Fairyhouse this month, and should be well tuned for Aintree. He is set to carry 10st 5lb – a 1lb lower than last yr – and may go nicely.
Selection: Discorama @
Caribean Boy
Nicky Henderson has by no means gained a Grand National in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales and the iconic Seven Barrows supremo admitted at the weights ceremony it “would mean the world to finally put that right”. Caribean Boy was a three-mile winner at Kempton in January and is 35th within the weights list, set to carry 10st 6lb (rated 149). Henderson says he’s the best kind of horse for the race and aims to give him another run at Kempton before April.
Selection: Caribean Boy @
De Rasher Counter
Emma Lavelle has had the National as the main goal De Rasher Counter for some time and she or he would no doubt have been content material along with his run at Newbury final weekend in the Grade 2 Denman Chase the place he ran nicely for a great distance on his first begin since October 2020 before tiring late on.
That outing was designed to blow away any cobwebs and he’s within the National on a mark of 149, carrying 10st 6lb. The 2019 Ladbrokes Trophy hero has a contact of sophistication on his day – he received that race off the same mark – and could outrun an enormous price if approaching for that Newbury spin.
