Tiger Roll, the Grand National winner in 2018 and 2019, has been ruled out of an attempt to equal Red Rum’s record of three Aintree victories in April after the 12-year-old was handed a rating of 161 for this year’s race when the weights were published on Tuesday in Liverpool.
Michael O’Leary, Tiger Roll’s owner, has strongly criticised the weight allotted to his horse in the past two seasons and ran him in a Grade One contest at level weights at the Grand National meeting last year in preference to the big race.
