Becher Chase winner Snow Leopardess will make the cut for next month's Randox Grand National at Aintree after moving up to 38th in the weights at the latest acceptance stage on Tuesday.

 

The Charlie Longsdon-trained mare teed up her bid for jump racing's most famous event when landing a Listed contest at Exeter last month and she is the shortest-priced British entry at a general 14-1.

 

Last year's Scottish National winner Mighty Thunder and Cloth Cap, who was sent off 11-2 favourite for this race in 2021 but was pulled up, are others who will make the final field should they be declared at the 48-hour stage.

Former Classic-winning jockey turned BBC broadcaster Jimmy Lindley has died at the age of 86.

 

He won the 2,000 Guineas with Only For Life in 1963 and Kashmir in 1966 and the 1964 St Leger on Indiana.

 

Lindley rode Aggressor, trained by Jack 'Towser' Gosden, to victory in the 1960 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot from Petite Etoile.

 

He retired from race riding in 1974 and was a broadcaster for the BBC for nearly 30 years.

This will be his 20th Grand National commentary, so seems like a good milestone to end with.

I wonder who ITV will bring in to replace him next year? Machin has to be the favourite.

Sawbuck became the longest-priced winner in the history of jump racing with victory at odds of 300-1.

 

The rank outsider, ridden by Charlie O'Dwyer for his trainer father Conor, won the opening maiden hurdle at Irish track Punchestown on Tuesday.

 

His prospects in the Racing Post newspaper had been summarised as: "Modest sort with no realistic chance."

 

Speaking after the four-length victory, jockey O'Dwyer said: "I'm completely surprised by him."
