The best line re the GN has to be contained within the current edition of ‘The Weekender’. Sam-Waley-Cohen is called ‘the human equivalent of Red Rum’. Great words and also true words. With 4 Foxhunters, 2 Tophams and a Becher to his name no one pilots the track quite like the forum’s favourite Corinthian. I still maintain that re the big race 2 years ago connections should have sat down the rider of the favourite (a chap with very limited success over the big ‘uns at Aintree) and made him watch videos of Mr Waley-Cohen riding the course. He would have learnt so much!
