Brennan booked for Inca mount

Paddy Brennan, one of the rising stars of the National Hunt scene, has been booked to ride the Ginger McCain-trained Inca Trail in the John Smith’s Grand National.

The 10-year-old, recently purchased out of Paul Nicholls’ stable for 110,000 guineas, will be part of a three-strong raiding party on the Aintree showpiece from McCain’s Cheshire base.
