Seabass ruled out of National

Seabass has been withdrawn from the Crabbie’s Grand National after suffering a serious injury at Down Royal on Monday.

Trained by Ted Walsh and ridden by his daughter, Katie, Seabass was third at Aintree in 2012 and went off the 11-2 favourite under last year only to finish 13th.

However, the 11-year-old finished last in his warm-up in the Daily Mirror Chase, after which he was found to have sustained ligament damage.
