Monty's Pass could make '04 return

Martell Cognac Grand National winner Monty’s Pass is none the worse for his famous victory over Aintree’s gruelling four and a half miles and he is set to be aimed at the race again next year, trainer Jimmy Mangan said on Sunday.

“He’s absolutely brilliant this morning and is out eating grass at the moment,” said Mangan, whose return home to Ireland was delayed after he missed the boat on Saturday night.
