Aintree the likely starting point for Mr Vango as Sara Bradstock eyes a tilt at the Grand National with stable star

Next month's Becher Chase has emerged as the likeliest starting point for supreme stayer Mr Vango, with trainer Sara Bradstock still hoping to target the Randox Grand National with her stable star.

He missed the cut for Aintree last season but advertised his credentials for the famous race with victories in the London National, Peter Marsh and the Midlands Grand National on his final start in March.

Mr Vango holds entries in the Betfair Chase and Coral Gold Cup but could instead be set for his first try over the National fences on December 6.
