Forecasts

Grey Dawning (11/10), Il Etait Temps (3/1), Ginny's Destiny (4/1), Blow Your Wad (17/2), Colonel Harry (22/1)

A mouth-watering curtain-raiser to the 2024 Grand National Festival which sees GREY DAWNING and Ginny's Destiny lock horns for a third time over fences and, with the state of play currently tied at one-all, Dan Skelton's 7-y-o is strongly fancied to tilt the scales in his favour with the heavy rain forecasted only enhancing his claims. Irish-raider Il Etait Temps can fill out third provided he keeps jumping errors to a minimum.
