What A Friend has been cut to 12-1 to win the Grand National by Coral
bookmakers following the news that the Gold Cup fourth will definitely be aimed
at the Aintree marathon.
The Paul Nicholls trained 8-y-o ran a blinder at Cheltenham, and with the
news that the horse will run with more than a stone in hand at Liverpool,
punters were quick to get on.
“Punters were on early this morning and we were forced to cut the horse,
and given the popularity of his connections, we feel the horse will be even
shorter come National day,” said Coral spokesman Gary Burton, “and if Ruby Walsh
chooses to ride him over current market leader, The Midnight Club, he could very
well go off the favourite.”
