The going remains soft, heavy in places for the Aintree spectacle
The prospect of heavy ground for next Saturday’s Aintree Grand National has led to support for horses that love the mud - including a trio trained by Willie Mullins.
I Am Maximus leads the charge for the Closutton team and has been backed from a high of 22/1 into 8/1 second favourite in recent weeks. The eight-year-old is already a Grade One and Irish Grand National winner on soft ground and could relish conditions if Aintree remains testing. The 20/1 about the talented but quirky Mr Incredible has also been snapped up by punters owing to his endless stamina and affinity for bottomless ground and he is a now 16/1 chance.
Long time favourite Corach Rambler remains at the head of the betting at 4/1 and should have no problems with juice in the ground having won an Ultima on soft.
