And now, here's your host. Emmett Kennedy. Welcome to the Final Furlem podcast. Day three preview of Aintree, Grand National Day. Final answers for the big race itself. And we're going to take you through to all the supporting races at entry on the Saturday as well.

1:27.7

In the company of Jamie Wren, George Gorman, Andy Newton, the top team in top form. And let's see if we can continue that in the Grand National itself, which is a fiendishly difficult race. The betting is headed by former winner in last year's runner-up, I am Maximus, although there's been a big gamble in the last few days on panic attack. Grangeclair West is popular in the bedding. Jaguar now a single figure price. Your first final answer for the Grand National Jamie Wren is. I see he's there 12, 14 tomorrow now. As I said, the last day I'm not repeating myself. Yeah, I'm still number one on Johnny Who all day long. Yeah, you can move on.

1:28.9

I just fight it's really offensive,

1:30.4

especially after the race, the ultimate.

1:33.1

And he's run around the track this year in the sifting,

1:33.9

finishing behind Colonel LeHurie.

1:35.8

So, yeah, it's Johnny who for me?

1:38.2

George, your main pick for the Grand National is.

1:41.0

Yeah, Gray's Fair West,

1:42.5

three pound high than last year.

2:19.6

Like, arguably could have won it last year. I think he's in April. He's got a win, a third and the Grand National on a fifth in the whip bread in his three runs in April. He's good this time year. Came into it last year off the back of finishing last in the Webster Cup. Comes into it this year off the back of winning a grade three. I think he's prime for the race and I'm not concerned at all. Patrick's on him just in case there's only one's concern. I think he's a very straightforward ride. I think he'll get on with him fine. Yeah, I agree. The three pound rise is a bit of a concern, but he has the highest jump index according to race IQ was this was this race last year for Grange Clearwest and one of the highest in the fields as well. So I'm with Grange-Clair West as the main pick,

2:23.5

although he is shortening in price, which I don't like. Andy, your number one pick for the Grand National is? it's still the same as the other day oscar's brother the other one of many jp ones in there as well i know

2:35.1

a few other people fancy that as well ticks a lot of the stats boys eight year old you know last few winners have been eight gets in here with 10 stone 13 that's a beautiful weight you know as I mentioned the other day running on fourth in the browns was a nice indicator that the, you know, the trip will be fine.

2:53.5

And the form, a big, big cocktail, did it in the season as well, didn't it, that form's obviously got Frank earlier in the meeting on Thursday with that one won the manifesto.

3:01.5

First run in the race, mentioned the other day, you know, horses that are making their debut in the race have got a good record 15 of the last 17 winners have, you know, made their debut in the race. So that's another tick for Oscars. And look, everyone loves the story. So they keep telling us every year. And it's the brother combination. And in fact, we've got two brothers, isn't we? But the Skelton's as well. So it could be a bit of a sibling Grand National.

3:25.1

He knows this year.

3:25.8

But yeah, Oscar's brother's the main pick for me.

3:27.8

Yeah, he's actually very close to becoming the main pick for me as well. It's still grained Clare Oskers because I've fancied him for so long. But Oscar's brother is a horse that I really like for this race. He's the least exposed runner in the field. just the six runs
