The Grand National line-up has been thrown into disarray once again following the latest withdrawals. Seven more runners have been pulled from the Aintree spectacle just days before spectators descend on Liverpool.
Inothewayurthinkin was the most notable withdrawal last month, having been backed into favouritism after his Cheltenham Festival triumph. The market is already shifting in response to the latest round of changes. L'Homme Presse is among those who have been withdrawn from the race, dealing a significant blow to British hopes of winning the £1million race. The gelding was a 40/1 chance for the race but has been ruled out due to a training injury. Venetia Williams' 10 year old caught the eye when he won the Cotswold Chase in January but was last seen pulling up in the Betfair Ascot Chase in February. A training injury then sidelined him from the Cheltenham Festival, and the issue has not been resolved in time for Aintree. Mr Incredible was scratched early on Monday, with Capodanno, Velvet Elvis and Minella Drama all also dropping out, causing major shifts in the potential field as they were all in the top 34. Fontaine Collonges and Quick Wave will not run either, reports the Express.
