National favourite at Huntington

Clan Royal, ante-post favourite for the John Smith’s Grand National, will continue his preparation for the Aintree showpiece with an outing over hurdles at Huntingdon tomorrow – weather permitting.

Jonjo O’Neill sends the 11-year-old out to face 16 rivals in the Cash Convertors Lincoln Handicap Hurdle on what will be his second start of the campaign.
