Seven horses scratched from Grand National as Nicky Henderson given shot at Aintree glory
The Grand National field has, once again, been shaken up following today’s scratchings. A further seven runners have been withdrawn from the Aintree showpiece just a matter of days before racegoers flock to Liverpool. Inothewayurthinkin was the most significant scratching last month, having been backed into favouritism following his Cheltenham Festival success. The market has already begun to move following the fresh wave of changes.
L’Homme Presse is among those who have been withdrawn from the race in what is a big blow for the British hopes of landing the £1million race. The gelding was a 40/1 chance for the race but has been ruled out due to a training injury.
