It’s all systems go for Snow Leopardess’ bid for glory in the Randox Grand National at Aintree Racecourse two weeks on Saturday.
Charlie Longsdon’s grey mare has already conquered the unique Aintree obstacles, when landing a narrow victory in the Becher Chase in terrible conditions in December.
The 10-year-old, who has won all three starts this season, has been popular in the betting since then and is currently the leading British-trained fancy at 14-1 with most bookmakers. A combination of her back story – she gave birth to a foal to 2006 Derby hero Sir Percy during a 794-day break just over two years ago as she recoverd from injury; her grey colour and her fine form – mean she will return to Aintree on April 9 as the horse many will follow.
