Grand National - De Rasher Counter 66/1, 5 pl - runs this Saturday in the Denman, which might prove to be a shrewd move. The run will ensure it qualifies for the National and it's high enough in grade for them to have it run reasonably well but with little chance of winning even on its best form. He's back on the same mark off which he was a good winner of the Hennessy from subsequent Ultima winner The Conditional and is handicapped to win an average National on that form. They might even be able to afford to have him dropped a pound or even two ahead of the weights being released this week. They can't afford to have him run badly in case he drops too far so a decent run will be ideal but it will also probably be an 'eyecatcher' for the media people. I just wanted on before that possible eventuality.
