Last year's winner Lord Du Mesnil is among the 16 entries left in for this Saturday's William Hill Grand National Trial Handicap Chase at Haydock Park.
Richard Hobson’s Lord Du Mesnil – who is owned by a syndicate which includes Mike and Mandy Smith from Wirral – is a three-time winner at the Merseyside track. And he is looking to continue that love affair with Haydock in Saturday's extended 3m4f Grade Three feature of the seven-race card.
Lord Du Mesnil is also among the current 107 entered in the Randox Grand National itself, for which the weights will be revealed tomorrow at the traditional lunch – this year being held at the Rum Warehouse in the Titanic Hotel.
