Long-term National plan coming together for Cromwell and Vanillier
Last year's runner-up Vanillier is the ante-post favourite with most bookmakers following the publication of the weights for this year's Randox Grand National.
Gavin Cromwell's grey was rated 147 when finishing best of the rest behind Corach Rambler at Aintree last April and will this year compete from a mark of 151, which does at least guarantee him a starting berth in what will be a reduced field of 34 runners for the first time.
