Kevin Blake's Expert Grand National Predictions

The Grand National has finally arrived, and Kevin Blake is sharing his expert predictions for the big event. Before the main race, he has selections in two other notable events. The first is the William Hill Handicap Hurdle, where he's backing KAKA'S COUSIN, a promising six-year-old trained by Jonjo and AJ O'Neill. This horse has shown potential with two wins out of four starts over hurdles and is stepping up in trip, which could work in his favor given his light weight. Another key race is the William Hill Handicap Chase, where CRUZ CONTROL, trained by Tom Lacey, is aiming for his third consecutive win. After a 100-day break, CRUZ CONTROL is fresh and has been gifted a 3lb drop by the handicapper, making him a strong contender. Lastly, Kevin Blake turns his attention to the Randox Grand National, one of the world's most iconic sporting events. He provides his top four predictions for the race, following an in-depth analysis of each runner.
