Paul Nicholls joins the panel to discuss the weekend action

Are you looking in Blaklion's direction for the next Grand National winner?

Sean Flanagan, jockey The fact he’s gone and done it so well in the Becher Chase is obviously a major plus for his Grand National credentials. I was impressed with his jumping and he’ll probably go on ground that’s a bit nicer. You’d imagine he’ll be trained with the race in mind and he’s probably one of the more likely winners at this stage.

Brian Hughes, jockey You have to be very impressed with the way he did it on Saturday, and ridden like that I don’t think the longer distance is going to be an issue. It looks strong form but how much weight will he have to carry now in April? That’s the main worry.

Ryan McCue, Betfair Sportsbook He’s entitled to be at the top of the market at this stage after his impressive victory at the weekend but I suspect there could be better-handicapped horses than him in the race come April.
