Aintree 3rd December

We send two horses over for the 3m 2f Becher Handicap Chase which is run over the National course. They are both running with a view to possibly getting an entry in the Grand National. Recite A Prayer (Brian Hayes) has a lot of weight but his second in the Kerry National will stand to him here. We will get a good idea today how he handles these fences. Captain Kangaroo (Jack Foley) has a big task for a novice. The trip will suit and we think he will enjoy jumping these fences.
