as for the winner ???? but placing in a previous National doesn't hurt..

my tip - play for fun in this spectacle obstacle race, i haven't a clue myself of course i stick to low class 2m hurdlers so i'll be glad when this weekend is over.
Collette, they are not actually foreign horses, they are just French bred but run in the UK all the time. Clan Royal for example has been with JJON for a decent few years now. They are all racing of their proper handicap mark as they all have done a fair few races in the UK/Ireland.
