Gigginstown Stud set for five Grand National runners


Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown Stud are set to have five runners in the Randox Health Grand National at Aintree next week.

Connections tragically lost A Genie Inabottle who was found dead in his stable on Friday but will still be strongly represented.

"Hopefully Tiger Roll will run and Alpha Des Obeaux. Thunder And Roses might run because he fell at the seventh in Fairyhouse and so had no race," Gigginstown's spokesman, Eddie O'Leary told the Irish Times.

"Valseur Lido may run too, and Road To Riches. Hopefully the place (Aintree) might help him find his mojo."

O'Leary also mooted the possibility of Rachael Blackmore joining Katie Walsh (Baie Des Iles) and Bryony Frost (Milansbar) in the National.

"There's nothing definite but Rachael is unbelievably good and we'd love to have her ride something in the race," said O'Leary.

Tiger Roll, who won at a third successive Chetenham Festival last month, is the shortest-priced of the quintet with Sky Bet at 11/1 (non-runner/no bet and Best Odds Guaranteed).
