Trainer Emma Lavelle believes De Rasher Counter has a big chance of victory in the Randox Grand National – if he takes to the fences at Aintree Racecourse.
The 10-year-old was out with a tendon injury for 489 days but made his return to action when fourth in the Grade Two Denman Chase at Newbury in February. That effort delighted his connections and he is now ready to head to Aintree for a crack at the Grand National, for which he is best-priced 66-1 with William Hill and Coral behind current 9-1 favourite Any Second Now.
De Rasher Counter is back down to the same handicap mark off which he won the Ladbrokes Trophy in 2019 at Newbury in fine style.
