Connor King has a chance of making history if Oscars Brother lines up for a tilt at the Randox Grand National.

King, just 27, trains only two horses from his Cashel stable and one of them just happens to be a contender for the world’s most famous steeplechase at Aintree in April. Making the story even more special is the fact King’s brother, Daniel, has ridden the eight-year-old in ever start under rules so far.
