John James may head for Aintree after easy success

HOMER SCOTT nominated a possible tilt at the John Hughes Chase, over the Grand National fences, at Liverpool next Friday for John James, after the gelding had taken the Clonmel Chase at the Tipperary track yesterday.

Scott is a part-time trainer these days, he has just four horses in his care, and his main job is managing Lisheen Stud in Kildare.

John James has turned inside out in his last two runs, previously proving very impressive at Tramore.
