Aintree Grand National Runners and Racecard
Tiger Roll was unable to make a spectacular bid for a third Grand National in 2020, as the world's greatest steeplechase was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but the Gordon Elliott-trained legend could attempt to claim a third win in the Aintree marathon in the 2021 renewal, which takes place on April 10. The Irish raider maybe heading into the twilight of his career, but if he can continue to blossom in the unique Merseyside test then he has to be a leading player in the 2021 renewal.
However, Elliott's pride and joy is sure to face a whole host of notable adversaries with the Willie Mullins-trained Irish Grand National winner Burrows Saint, and the David Bridgwater-trained Cheltenham Festival winner The Conditional just two of those sitting prominently in a wide open betting heat, with the likes of Presenting Percy and Ladbrokes Trophy winner Cloth Cap adding more depth to the race.
