Ep 199 - Grand National Week - Part 4

Nick is joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to look ahead just as the final field is revealed for the world's most famous race... Welsh National winner Secret Reprieve misses the cut, former favourite Blaklion sneaks in, and The Storyteller is a non-runner. As anticipated on yesterday's podcast, Patrick Mullins will ride strong fancy Burrows Saint for his father Willie. Guests on this morning's show include Richard Hobson, trainer of lively outsider Lord du Mesnil, and previous winner Robbie Power, who partners the mare Magic of Light. Nick Gifford, whose father Josh trained the legendary Aldaniti to win the race 40 years ago, tells how that famous victory informed his upbringing.
