Ep 1231 - National runner "been laid out for this since day one"

Charlotte Greenway filling in for Nick and joined by Timeform's Dan Barber to look ahead to the action from Aintree, kicking off tomorrow. Dan and Charlotte take a deep dive into Friday's declarations and pick out a couple of eye catchers as well as those that have something to prove. Charlotte also gets the low down on Hewick from Shark Hanlon ahead of his National bid whilst Max McNeill discusses his exciting Aintree team, including his two in the big one. Ben Atkins joins for our weekly P2P segment ahead of tomorrow's Foxhunters at Aintree with reflection on yesterday's Hunter Chase sponsored by the podcast on which Olive Nicholls shares her delight after victory aboard Viroflay. Finally, off to Dubai where JA McGrath is in situ and has news of the Hong Kong runners as well as a catch up with James McDonald on his mounts.
