Rayburn in National prep

Paul Nolan’s Colnel Rayburn will have his prep run for the John Smith’s Grand National when lining up in the Tote “Online Betting For Cheltenham” Newlands Chase at Naas on Sunday.

And Nolan is keen on the chances of his charge at Aintree after the 10-year-old was in the process of running a major race last year, before he was caught up in the melee which claimed Clan Royal at Bechers Brook on the second circuit.
