Beef Or Salmon is poised to crown a glorious career with a tilt at the John Smith’s Grand National at Aintree on April 5.

That was the message from trainer Michael Hourigan following the unveiling of the weights for the world’s greatest steeplechase, in which his 10-time Grade One winner – now a 12-year-old – heads the handicap on 11st 12lb.
