Snow Leopardess, the grey working mum who keeps bucking convention, has trainer Charlie Longsdon fawning over her latest video ahead of her return to Aintree’s Grand National course.
The ten-year-old mare, one of the leading fancies for last season’s Grand National, returns to the scene of her greatest triumph when she tackles the Boylesports Becher Handicap Chase on Saturday. It will be her second appearance of the campaign since she returned to training from a summer break in Kent where she was filmed being joined by a young deer while out for a walk.
“I didn’t know about the video until I saw it,” said Longsdon. “That was filmed back home in Kent where she does a lot of her pre-training and schooling with the owner at Knowlton Court near Canterbury. It’s a fantastic little video. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.”
