Ep 162 - Will Tiger Roll run in the Grand National

Nick, from his hotel room in Riyadh ahead of the Saudi Cup, is joined by the Daily Mirror's David Yates to dissect the Grand National weights, published this morning. The handicapper responsible for allotting each horse its weight is the BHA's Martin Greenwood, who joins Nick to show his working for the mark of 166 (equivalent to a weight of 11st 9lbs) given to the dual National hero Tiger Roll, whose connections have issued concerns about a mark higher than 160. Later in this edition, Nick talks to Chester Racecourse CEO Richard Thomas about the plans for mass lateral flow testing to allow limited crowds to enjoy the Boodles May Festival this year, while Shadwell's Angus Gold is this week's guest as we head around the bloodstock world with Weatherbys.
