00:00 Lee, it is the biggest horse race perhaps in the UK tomorrow at the time of recording.
00:06 It is the Grand National at Aintree, 4pm on Saturday afternoon. Personally, Lee, just
00:11 run me through some of the favourites.
00:13 Well, I think actually the favourites might be changing. So all the way up to the lead
00:17 up to the race, Antipost last year's winner, Cora Karamba, has been the big favourite.
00:20 I mean, initially, from some way out, I was sort of fancying that for this race. Obviously,
00:25 won the race last year, ran a blinder at Cheltenham in the Gold Cup where it was placed. So that
00:30 looks to have an excellent chance. Obviously, it's a horse that's got round before, knows
00:33 its way around, it's a classy horse, etc., etc. And looks to have been laid out for a
00:38 repeat. But all the momentum seems to be with the horse which is probably going to be my
00:41 main fancy, which is called I Am Maximus, trained by Willie Mullins. I mean, what a
00:46 trainer Willie Mullins is. We saw how he completely dominated the Cheltenham Festival. This horse
00:50 looks to have an excellent chance of doing that. And as I say, I mean, at the time of
00:53 recording a message has come through on my phone that they've gone joint favourites,
00:55 those two horses, Cora Karambla and I Am Maximus.
