Walsh plays waiting game with Seabass

Ted Walsh is in no rush to commit to future plans for his John Smith’s Grand National third Seabass.

The nine-year-old was sent off joint-favourite for the world’s most famous steeplechase in April having arrived at Aintree on the back of six wins under Rules.

The fragile gelding ran a superb race to pick up minor honours behind Neptune Collonges and Sunnyhillboy, with the trainer’s daughter and leading amateur Katie Walsh achieving the highest placing of any female rider in the history of the race.
