New Grand National favourite as bookies fear a ‘terrible result’ with cash flying in for Cheltenham Festival hero
A NEW Grand National favourite has been confirmed – with bookies fearing a ‘terrible result’ should he do the Cheltenham-Aintree double.
It’s all change at the top of the betting for the world’s most famous race with William Hill.
And they now have Gold Cup-winning trainer Gavin Cromwell’s Cross Country Chase king Stumptown as the 15-2 favourite for the £1million contest.
Stumptown defied top weight to land the helter-skelter Cheltenham Festival race earlier this month, pulling away near the line.
