GRAND NATIONAL week is among us as excitement builds for the Aintree showpiece.
And all eyes will be last year’s champion Rachael Blackmore, who powered to victory on 11-1 Minella Times.
Blackmore, 32, followed up the triumph with success in the prestigious Gold Cup on A Plus Tard last month.
The Irish ace became the first female jockey to win the Grand National with her historic victory last year.
Blackmore said after her win: “I don’t feel male or female right now. I don’t even feel human.”
