Genius Monbeg who was last seen finishing third at Haydock behind the reins Collonges fountain. It will be much more suitable for the run and could run a crack off a signal without change.
A classic floor Galia Des Liteaux represents the Skeltons and is now 4lb under her eighth Grand National and could land the trainer and jockey duo with their first success in this race.
