Tiger Roll’s owners have raised the possibility of a trip to Aintree after all - but for the Betway Bowl. The dual Randox Grand National winner produced another stunning display at the Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday when landing his third Glenfarclas Chase, his fifth win at the meeting overall. In previous years Tiger Roll had gone on to win the National, but owners Gigginstown House Stud decided to remove Tiger Roll from the Aintree feature following the allocation of his weight, which they deemed to be “unfair”. Tiger Roll is currently in the care of Denise Foster while Gordon Elliott serves a suspension. “The Tiger we saw yesterday, you’d have to give him 10 out of 10, which is a testament to all at Cullentra.”
