Traffic Fluide sets up Grand National tilt with spirited Sodexo Gold Cup win

Gary Moore has experienced more than the majority in racing but he will be treading new ground as he plots a path to the Randox Health Grand National for Saturday’s tenacious Sodexo Gold Cup winner Traffic Fluide.

After a spell in the wilderness, the former 162-rated chaser began to recapture his form last season and he has started the current season in the same form, following up a second-place finish at Chepstow with a never-say-die effort to scoop this £100,000 contest.

“I’ve never trained a horse for the Grand National before but if I’ve ever had one I think is made for it, it’s him,” said Moore. “I need to work it out but I doubt he’d run again until a month before Aintree.”
