Olly Murphy is hopeful that The Wolf can take his first steps on the road to the Randox Grand National by producing a good performance in Saturday’s Boylesports Becher Chase at Aintree Racecourse.
The eight-year-old will be having his first try over the unique Grand National fences, but he’s shown plenty of ability over staying distances so far, finishing seventh in last season’s Scottish Grand National at Ayr before catching the eye on his first run back at Cheltenham in October.
