Verdict

Beach Break is very well treated nowadays and Theo Gillard is his regular pilot but he hasn’t shown his best form for quite a while. Taragrace, partnered by Brian Hughes who remarkably doesn’t have a ride in the Grand National, also represents Donald McCain and looks to have stronger claims. Lucky Lover Boy was a fair fourth after a break at Carlisle but trip and going will suit the versatile FOLLOW YOUR FIRE, who can see off the unexposed Line Of Descent and Vintage Fizz, who is better on softer ground.
