Grand National: Cloth Cap 'a worthy favourite' for 2021 Aintree renewal

Cloth Cap is the favourite for the 2021 Grand National at Aintree. Tom Scudamore is riding him. Jonjo O'Neill-trained nine-year-old is currently available at 4/1 with Paddy Power. Cloth cap won Newbury’s Trophy Chase in November and this month”s Premier Chase at Kelso. Trevor Hemmings has won the race with Hedgehunter (2005), Ballabriggs (2011), and Many Clouds (2015).

Cloth Cap is due to carry 10st 5lb in the 2021 Grand National. The handicapper has raised the weights from 148 to 162. Scudamore will focus on Clothcap and will respect the other horses in a field of 40. The winner of the Grand Nats is considered the pinnacle of a career. There is an unrivalled prize pot and a chance to go down in sporting folklore at stake. Mr Hemmings is a great supporter of National Hunt Racing.
