Very pleased to report that we have declared Idas Boy for the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday and Harry Bannister is booked to ride.  Obviously there is much excitement at Adlestrop and amongst his owners, the Dozen Dreamers.

Idas Boy appears in great form at home and although this year’s running is as strong as it ever has been – his previous form gives him every right to be in the race.

As we know, despite the changes over recent years to the race, it is still the world’s greatest steeplechase and the four and a quarter miles over the spruce fences is a unique challenge.  As ever, we hope that everyone has a great day and all goes to plan.

It has been a great team effort to get the horse to the race and thanks to the Dozen Dreamers and all the team at Adlestrop for rising to the challenge and being so supportive.
