Market movement: Which horses’ odds have shortened for the 2024 Grand National?

The horse has demonstrated proficiency in heavy ground and possesses ample stamina. His Racing Post Rating of 169 from the Bobbyjo Chase indicates potential for improvement on his official National mark of 159.

Owned by McManus, he was acquired after winning the Paddy Power Chase and subsequently finished third in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival. Trained by Mullins, the eight-year-old encountered saddle issues in last year’s National, but is expected to perform well in testing conditions with a large field.

Another horse, aged seven, is rated near the top of the weights with a harsh mark of 161, according to Moore. However, he excels in heavy ground, evident from his commanding victory in the Welsh Grand National in challenging conditions at Chepstow.

Despite being pulled up in the Gold Cup, he is anticipated to fare better in this race, having demonstrated proficiency in handling the National fences with a fourth-place finish in the Grand Sefton. These two horses are being considered for the upcoming race and are expected to perform well based on their past performances and capabilities.
