Daryl Jacob makes National ride decision as top owners fire four at Aintree

Daryl Jacob has chosen to ride Good Boy Bobby out of four Randox Grand National runners for leading owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede at Aintree on Saturday (5.15).

Jacob, whose finest hour in the saddle came when winning the world-famous chase on Neptune Collonges in 2012, had whittled his options down to two and plumped for Good Boy Bobby over Kildisart, now the mount of Welsh National-winning jockey James Bowen.

"I've got to know Good Boy Bobby quite well in the last few years and his form is very consistent," said Jacob, who is retained by Munir and Souede.
