What A Friend

Age: 8
Nationality: England
Jockey: Daryl Jacob
Trainer: Paul Nicholls
Owner: Mr Ged Mason & Sir Alex Ferguson
Notes: Having placed 4th at last month’s Cheltenham Gold Cup and having previously won the Aintree Bowl this runner looks a strong contender. The only question that beckons is whether he will be able to deal with the distance as this would be his longest race to date.
