SO Tiger Roll is given a Grand National rating that puts him the equal of Grade 1-winning stable companions Delta Work and Presenting Percy and he is set to carry 11st 9lb next April at Aintree.

Like it or not, the majority of us agree with Michael O’Leary that, at this stage of his career, Tiger has little hope of matching a proven Grade 1 horse like Bristol De Mai or Santini carrying just a pound less.
