Gordon Elliott admits it will be disappointing should Tiger Roll not run in the Randox Grand National after being allotted 11st 9lb – but underlined the final decision will rest with owner Michael O’Leary.
The diminutive 11-year-old was denied the chance to win the race three times in a row – something not even Red Rum managed – by the Covid-19 pandemic, but Elliott is training him to peak on April 10.
