Aintree hero Noble Yeats heads the 85 initial entries for the 2023 Randox Grand National at Aintree Racecourse this spring.
Emmet Mullins' eight-year-old remains on course for a crack at both the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup at next month's Cheltenham Festival before a return to Aintree to defend his crown on April 15
Noble Yeats famously won the National under amateur Sam Waley-Cohen on his final ride as a jockey back in April, to become the first seven-year-old since Bogskar in 1940 to land the world's greatest steeplechase. And he was among the entries as he bids to become the 10th dual winner of the Aintree marathon and emulate the two most recent back-to-back scorers Tiger Roll (2018 and 2019) and legendary triple hero Red Rum (1973 and 1974).
