Grand National preview and Peter Scudamore interview

Rishi Persad and Sam Turner link up again to preview the Grand National Festival from Aintree.


We also speak with Peter Scudamore, assistant trainer of the 6/1 favourite Corach Rambler who won so well at the Cheltenham Festival in March, as they set about winning the most prestigious jumps race of all.


First though, they discuss a good weekend of racing from Fairyhouse where the Irish Grand National was won by I Am Maximus under a fantastic ride from Paul Townend running for the first time for JP McManus.
