Ruby Walsh will go in search of a third John Smith’s Grand National victory on board My Will, who is likely to go off favourite at Aintree today.

All roads lead to Aintree for Rambling Minster following his impressive display in the Blue Square Gold Cup at Haydock on Saturday.

Rambling Minster jumped his way into the John Smith’s Grand National picture with a splendid staying performance under trainer Keith Reveley’s son James in the Blue Square Gold Cup Chase at Haydock.

Northern jump racing’s top trio of Howard Johnson, Graham Wylie and Graham Lee kicked off the New Year in great style with a three-timer at Catterick thanks to wins with Zeitgeist, Turnstile and Motive.
