Bookmakers are breaking out in a cold sweat over the prospect of the JP McManus-owned Any Second Now landing the Randox Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.
On Easter Monday McManus landed the Irish Grand National for the fourth time when I Am Maximus powered to victory at Fairyhouse.
He has won the Grand National twice with Don’t Push It, ridden by Sir A P McCoy, ending 28 years of trying in 2010 and Minella Times in 2021 when Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the world famous race.
