  • Templegate’s Tips

    Perceval Legallois can give the Gold Cup-winning team of JP McManus, Gavin Cromwell and Mark Walsh another huge prize.

    This eight-year-old has an ideal weight, loves a big field and warmed up with nice win over hurdles.

    McManus has another hope in Iroko who has been working up to a big run here. And last year’s winner I Am Maximus has every chance too.

    I fancy Cromwell to have two in the frame thanks to Vanillier, while Nicky Henderson’s hunt for a first National could be over thanks to Hyland.

    I Am Maximus is back, looking to secure back-to-back triumphs in the Grand National for the first time since Tiger Roll in 2018 and 2019.

    The Willie Mullins-trained horse is the favourite in the betting ahead of the big one and Paul Townend will once again be aboard the 2024 winner.
