Luke Morris expects this filly to go close at Wolves this Saturday…

I might be a Flat jockey but it’s all about the Crabbie’s Grand National this weekend and I, like millions of other people, am really looking forward to watching the race.

They’re brave the riders taking part in the race and I’m more than happy to be watching the race and cheering them on then taking part myself – give me Lingfield and Wolverhampton any day over jumping those fences at speed! The horse I’ll be supporting in the race is The Last Samuri.

He’s at the right end of the weights and clearly in really good form, as his last couple of wins have shown. He’s been trained specifically for the race and he looks to be the one horse in the race that could potentially still be on the upgrade. He’d be the one that I’d pick.

I’ll be travelling between meetings when the race is on so I’ll try and watch it on my phone in the car as I’ll have a driver this weekend. It’s a race no-one wants to miss.

It’s a quieter weekend for me with a few rides at Lingfield and Wolverhampton and I’m hoping there’s a winner or two among them.

Venus Grace – 2.00 Lingfield
She’s more than capable of winning off her new mark but I’m concerned about the trip. She’s dropping back to seven furlongs for this race having won over a mile last time and she felt like she needed every yard of the trip last time. There are plenty of horses that gain confidence from winning and you’d hope that might happen with her, but she needs to step up on what she’s done to be winning again.
