Rachael Blackmore was the toast of Aintree when she became the first female jockey to win the world's most famous race.
Minella Times stormed to a six-and-a-half length victory in the colours of legendary owner and punter JP McManus last April. The nine-year-old must carry 15lb more this time around which goes some way to explaining why Blackmore's mount is a 20-1 chance with Betfred to strike again in 2022.
Blackmore and trainer Henry de Bromhead head to Aintree on the crest of a wave after winning two of the biggest races at last week's Cheltenham Festival with Honeysuckle and A Plus Tard, who gave Blackmore a first Cheltenham Gold Cup.
