Grand National festival day 2 tips: Paul Kealy shares his top pick

Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero-trained six-year-old horse won a 3m point two years ago, but has been primarily racing over 2m distances in hurdles. Despite this, the horse has performed well, winning two of its five starts.

Notably, it was in command when it won at Newbury in February. Although it didn’t win its handicap debut in the Imperial Cup at Sandown, the horse caught the eye with a strong performance and was making significant ground towards the end of the race.

During the Imperial Cup, the horse was prominent but niggled along inside the last mile and appeared likely to be overtaken by most of the field. However, its stamina kicked in, and despite finishing in seventh place, it made significant ground in the final 100 yards.

In a previous race, the horse didn’t have the pace for 2m and finished fourth, but it showed potential by doing its best work late in the race. The text concludes by mentioning Racing Post, which offers handpicked deals from operators with whom their experts have first-hand experience.
