John ‘Shark’ Hanlon is set to decide this week who will ride Hewick in the Randox Grand National.

The famous €850 purchase and 2023 King George hero delighted his handler when tuning up for his Aintree assignment with a victory in the hands of Hanlon’s son Paddy at Thurles in the Jimmy Neville Memorial Hurdle – with all roads leading to Merseyside on April 5th.
