Verdict

A mouth-watering curtain-raiser to the 2024 Grand National Festival which sees GREY DAWNING and Ginny's Destiny lock horns for a third time over fences and, with the state of play currently tied at one-all, Dan Skelton's 7-y-o is strongly fancied to tilt the scales in his favour with the heavy rain forecasted only enhancing his claims. Irish-raider Il Etait Temps can fill out third provided he keeps jumping errors to a minimum.

  1. GREY DAWNING (IRE)
  2. GINNY'S DESTINY (IRE)
  3. IL ETAIT TEMPS (FR)
