The first day of the Randox Grand National Festival certainly lived up to expectations, and today’s action looks equally as enthralling. After enjoying another sensational Cheltenham Festival, Willie Mullins stole the show on day one by landing a four-timer to put pressure on Dan Skelton in the Trainers’ Championship.
Impaire Et Passe, Murcia and Gaelic Warrior landed the opening three races before Lossiemouth cruised clear in the Aintree Hurdle after Constitution Hill, once again, fell and paid the price for being too bold and long at his fences. The Irish trainer has another strong hand today, though it is Nicky Henderson’s Jonbon who is expected to be the talking horse of the day when he takes on three rivals in the Melling Chase.
