Bookies are reporting plenty of bets being placed on Gaillard Du Mesnil ahead of the Grand National at Aintree later this month.
The Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old was placed in Grade One company at the last two Cheltenham Festivals before winning the National Hunt Chase at Prestbury Park last month after being sent off the 10-11 favourite.
Gaillard Du Mesnil put his stamina to good use and stay on past Chemical Energy in the closing stages of the race after the forward-going Mahler Mission fell at the second last fence.
