Gordon Elliott backs Delta Work to lead his Aintree charge

Last year's third has been allotted a weight of 11st 4lb

GRAND PLANS: Gordon Elliott looks set to be mob-handed in the Aintree Grand National. 

Delta Work — the horse who foiled Tiger Roll's fairytale farewell at Cheltenham last season — appears to be Gordon Elliott's main fancy as the trainer seeks a fourth success in the Randox Grand National.

Third to Noble Yeats last April having narrowly played the role of party pooper against his then stablemate in the cross-country chase, the 10-year-old will be heading to Liverpool with experience under his belt this season.
