Kevin Blake's Expert Predictions for the Grand National
The day of the Grand National has finally arrived, and Kevin Blake is sharing his expert predictions for the prestigious Aintree race. In addition to his top four selections for the big event, he's also revealing his best bets for other races on the card. Before the main event, Kevin is eyeing the William Hill Handicap Hurdle, where he's backing the relatively unexposed KAKA'S COUSIN, trained by Jonjo and AJ O'Neill. This six-year-old has shown promise, winning two of his four starts over hurdles, and is expected to benefit from the step up in distance. With a light weight and an attractive price, Kevin believes KAKA'S COUSIN could make a strong showing. Another highly competitive handicap chase, the William Hill Handicap Chase, could see CRUZ CONTROL secure his third consecutive win. After a 100-day absence, CRUZ CONTROL's connections seem to be adopting a similar strategy to last year, when he won the race off a mark of 139. A 3lb drop from the handicapper has left him just 1lb higher than his previous winning mark, making him a solid contender. Finally, Kevin turns his attention to the Randox Grand National, one of the world's most iconic sporting events. Having analyzed each runner in detail, Kevin will share his top four selections for the Grand National, providing a concise summary of his expert picks.
