Grand National contender More Than A Stroll is rated only 50-50 to tackle the Aintree showpiece, according to trainer Arthur Moore.

The 11-year-old, smooth winner of the Grade Three Red Mills Danoli Chase at Gowran Park on his latest start, will also be entered for the Martell Cup 48 hours before the National, in which he has been allotted 11st 2lbs.

Moore revealed that he is still undecided about which route to take with More Than A Stroll, who has also been successful in the Munster National and James Nicholson Chase this season.

"He will also have an entry for the Martell Cup on the Thursday before the National as I feel he has the quality to run in that race," said Moore.
