Hopefully a run in the Grand National won't take the edge off LIVELOUGHLAUGH, as he is clearly better at this sort of trip and can bounce back to form with conditions more suitable. Stablemate Class Conti is an obvious alternative after a facile win on his debut for Willie Mullins, with Blast of Koeman capable of reprising his narrow defeat in this last year after scoring over hurdles here in December.
