Gordon Elliott's Escaria Ten all set for Aintree Grand National

Gordon Elliott's horse Escaria Ten is towards the head of the betting for the Randox Grand National on April 9. The McNeill family owned 8-year-old was beaten a nose in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse and is now ready for a big one on Merseyside.

Gordon Elliott's Escaria Ten is heading to Aintree for the Randox Grand National on April 9. The trainer reckons Death Duty could be a dark horse for Boylesports Irish Grand Nats on March 18. He believes Death duty has an each-way chance. Samcro, Coca Beach, Floueur, Aramax, Frontal Assault and Grand Paradis won't get in. They will be decided later. He reckon they will probably be in the 70s. It's an open race.
