WE are used to seeing Gordon Elliott with mass entries in big handicap chases in this country but now the Meath trainer is set to bring a cavalry to Aintree in his bid to win a third Randox Health Grand National.

The weights for the race were revealed at a launch event in Liverpool on Tuesday, and Elliott was easily the best represented trainer, with his 22 entries twice as many as the next highest, Willie Mullins, who has 10 entered.
