1pt each-wayDAN SKELTON is still waiting for his first winner at the Grand National meeting and was 0-22 runners going into this year’s meeting, but Rene’s Girl made it three seconds yesterday and he has also had a stack of other places and it surely won’t be long before he breaks his duck.
It might even happen today as I think he has a serious chance of landing the opening Alder Hey Children’s Charity Handicap Hurdle (1.45).
Skelton saddles one of the joint favourites in and the much bigger priced and both are worth supporting.
