Case to be made for I Am Maximus but Iroko can lead the Grand National field home

IT’LL be okay for IROKO in the Grand National at Aintree (4.00) — but only just.

The National fences are easier and there will be only 34 runners if they all line up.

It’s not the test it was but it is certainly one of the most open Nationals in living memory.

The top five on ratings are covered by just 4lb — and Iroko just edges it. The bonus little ‘p’ seals the deal as it means improvement is expected.
