Aintree braced for Taz-mania

Tazbar will face 12 rivals when he seeks a four-timer in the Grade One Citroen C5 Sefton Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree on Friday.

Trained by Keith Reveley, the upwardly-mobile six-year-old skipped Cheltenham to wait for this race after sluicing home in Grade Two company at Haydock in February.
