RACE COMMENTARY
Joncol undoubtedly has all it takes to win a big race like the National, the question is will he win? I'll take my chances at 50/1, the big horse can put his injuries behind him and jump round safely, picking them off one by one.
Granf National (sat april 6, 2013)
Stake: £1.00 Win
Returns: 0.00
Total: - £1.00
Joncol For The National News:
♠ Joncol has the class but whether he gets the John Smith’s Grand National trip is unknown, says trainer Paul Nolan
♠ Power switched on for Joncol - Robbie Power is hoping history repeats itself when he partners Paul Nolan's giant Joncol in the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.
