READ MORE:Massive Grand National gamble on Willie Mullins horse as bookies forced to take preventative action The gallant grey only found Corach Rambler too good a year ago and now bids to give Flanagan and trainer Cromwell the biggest win of their careers – looking to deny fellow William Hill ambassador Lucinda Russell and her defending champion a historic double.
“I came away from last year’s race deflated. My wife and parents rang me afterwards and they were extremely excited, but I probably didn’t talk for three or four days. In time, I might appreciate finishing second a bit more, but it’s still a big ‘what if?’ moment for me.” For Flanagan, his Aintree ride is starting to peak at just the right time, and hopes that this year could be their year in Liverpool.

The seven-year-old finished third behind Chianti Classico and Twig in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival last month, shortly after being purchased by JP McManus from Paul Byrne. William Hill say money started to come for the Paddy Power Chase winner last week and that there is now a 'massive gamble' on the son of Court Cave. The gamble has seen Meetingofthewaters' odds fall from 14/1 to 8/1 and the betting firm believe he could go off favourite for the race on the day.
