The ten-year-old is now the favourite for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup, with two wins under his belt, and is a 10-1 market leader for the race with a weight of 11st 11lb. Mullins expressed his satisfaction, stating he "can't complain" with the rating given.

With nine entries, Willie Mullins has a shortlist of four. He revealed that Capodanno, who is entered in the Gold Cup, was his most likely choice due to the class he displayed.

Gaillard Du Mesnil and Mr Incredible were also mentioned, with the latter impressing Mullins with his Warwick run. Carefully Selected, who won the Thyestes, was also highlighted as a possible winner.

The second favourite for the race is Corach Rambler, with 14-1 odds. Trainer Lucinda Russell was delighted with Corach's 10st 5lb weight, claiming that it was "heaven" and that her horse will contest the Ultima before taking on the National.

Overall, the Randox Grand National looks to be an exciting spectacle with a variety of experienced and untested horses all vying for the top spot.
