Dude all the rage for Grand National

As the market intensifies ahead of Saturday’s Crabbie’s Grand National at Aintree, Michael Scudamore’s Monbeg Dude was the one most punters were interested in on Tuesday.

Given his royal connections, a fairytale outcome could await for racing and punters alike.

Part-owned by former England rugby union player Mike Tindall, the nine-year-old is a former winner of the Welsh National and landed a competitive handicap at Cheltenham earlier in the season.
