Lord Windermere among Grand National entries

Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Lord Windermere and last year’s Aintree winner Pineau De Re star among 98 entries for the Crabbie’s Grand National on April 11.

The Jim Culloty-trained Lord Windermere could bid to become the first horse since L’Escargot and only the third horse ever to win the Gold Cup and Grand National.

L’Escargot won the Cheltenham showpiece in 1970 and 1971 and then denied Red Rum a hat-trick of wins at Aintree in 1975. Golden Miller won both races in 1934.
