Eclair Surf and Fortescue have narrowly made the cut for Saturday's Grand National at Aintree after it was announced Caribean Boy and Farclas will not run.
Caribean Boy, trained by Nicky Henderson and previously priced at 80/1, pulled a hamstring while last year's fifth-placed horse Farclas (28/1) was withdrawn by Gordon Elliott.
A field of 40 horses and four reserves have now officially been named including Eclair Surf, giving the Dominic Burke & Tim Syder owned bay gelding a shot at glory. A market mover over the last few days as several horses were forced to pull out, Emma Lavelle's chaser moved up to 43rd in the list at the start of the week and now lines up for the most famous prize in racing.
