Ep 1233 - Grand National Festival Day 1: Live from Aintree

The Nick Luck Daily Podcast comes to you Live from Aintree on Day 1 of the Grand National Festival and once again Nick is in amongst it with Jane Mangan as the horses are out stretching their legs. Mary Mangan has just watched Spillane’s Tower out on track and share her hopes for him in this afternoon’s Aintree Bowl before ITV’s Alice Plunkett drops in to chat about what makes this place so special. Whilst out picking grass, Paul Gilligan and Buddy One join the show and look at whether this admirable horse can go one better than he did in the Liverpool Hurdle last year. Rob Hogarth is out on track fulfilling ITV media commitments but has time to have a quick word on Ahoy Señor and he’s extremely bullish about his chances against Spillane’s Tower. Then Gavin Cromwell shares his hopes for his three in the National, all of which are very prominent in the market, before Patrick Mullins runs through some of Willie’s contenders this week including Lossiemouth today and Gaelic Warrior who he rides in the Bowl this afternoon.
