Gabbys Cross can add his name to a long list of shock Grand National winners by landing the 175th running of the world’s greatest steeplechase at Aintree.
Outsiders have held sway in this most unpredictable puzzle in recent years, with scorers at 66-1, 50-1, 33-1 (twice) and 25-1 (twice) in the past 10 runnings.
And Gabbys Cross, whose Co Waterford-based trainer Henry de Bromhead saddled a National 1-2 when Minella Times and Rachael Blackmore led home 100-1 shot Balko Des Flos two years ago, fits the bill to come up with another turn-up.
