The field for Saturday's major event is dominated by Irish horses, but the favorite Corach Rambler is Scottish.
ANY SECOND NOW (age 11, weight 11st 12lb) Desperately unlucky to come second to Minella Times in 2021 and put up another outstanding performance under a heavy burden to finish second one year ago, when he led until just over a furlong from home. Has been obviously set up for this once more by the incredibly cunning Ted Walsh, yet is 8 pounds heavier in the ratings and giving weight away everywhere. Undoubtedly an Aintree veteran, but at 11 years old, his time may be over and at least one of the less vulnerable runners will likely have him beat.
