Kevin Blake's Expert Grand National Predictions

The highly anticipated Grand National day has finally arrived, and Kevin Blake is here to share his expert predictions. Before the main event, Blake has identified two promising races with potential winners. The first is the William Hill Handicap Hurdle, where he recommends KAKA'S COUSIN, a relatively unexposed six-year-old with a promising track record. The step up in distance is expected to suit this contender, who boasts a light weight and an attractive price. Another competitive handicap chase, the William Hill Handicap Chase, may see CRUZ CONTROL secure his third consecutive win. Having won the race in 2024 and 2025, this horse has demonstrated versatility and has been given a generous 3lb drop by the handicapper. With his team in excellent form, Tom Lacey's trainee has a solid chance of winning. Lastly, Blake turns his attention to the Randox Grand National, one of the world's most spectacular sporting events. While he has analyzed each runner in detail, he will provide a concise overview of his top four selections for the iconic race.
