Bookies fear cash for Katie

Bookmakers believe punters will go angling for Seabass to put Katie Walsh into the record books as the first female jockey to win the John Smith’s Grand National.

The combination filled third place 12 months ago and the layers think there could be a public plunge on the Irish rider as she teams up once again with Seabass, trained by her father, Ted.

She achieved the best ever placing by a woman in 2012 and is likely to carry plenty of an estimated £200million wagered on the Aintree spectacular, which will be watched by a world-wide television audience of an estimated 600 million.
