1 out of 1 at Aintree. Robbie power on board. Previous winner on Silver Birch. 10'10, good weight. finshed ahead of minella four star in previous race. (midlands national winner} likes good ground. 50to1.

Was running a cracker in a round which seemed pretty seemless (but for the odd semi mistake). Couldn't believe the nature of his fall, just didn't jump which was so out of kilter with the rest of his round.

There seemed a lot more kick back at Doncaster although supposed to be good, also probably went off too fast and hadn't run for quite a while.Certainly seemed to run on stoutly in his 2 hurdle races in Ireland on unsuitable going.
