Grand National weights: Timeform's view
JP McManus appears to hold excellent claims of winning another Grand National after the weights for the big race were announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The famous McManus green and gold silks have been carried to National glory three times previously, including when I Am Maximus powered to a seven-and-a-half victory over Delta Work in last year’s renewal. The reigning title-holder has more on his plate this time around, though, heading the weights at 11-12 off an 8 lb higher mark than in 2024. Instead, it is two of the owner’s younger contingent who currently make more appeal on Timeform ratings – namely the seven-year-olds Iroko and Inothewayurthinkin.
Timeform chase handicapper Phil Turner said: "Inothewayurthinkin and Iroko finished first and second in a Grade 1 novice chase at Aintree last season that has proved to be strong form over the subsequent months. Admittedly, neither Iroko nor Inothewayurthinkin have managed a win since, yet both have shaped as if still on the upgrade this winter. Indeed, I think they went into just about everybody’s notebooks after eye-catching runs on each of their last runs and clearly both have plenty going for them.
"That said, another of the McManus battalion makes more appeal at current odds. Perceval Legallois has plenty of experience in the hurly-burly of big-field handicaps and has really come into his own this winter, particularly with regards to ironing out the jumping issues which sometimes held him back in the past. His win in the Paddy Power Chase (replay below) over Christmas represents really strong form, whilst a recent follow-up success back over hurdles at the Dublin Racing Festival underlined that he’s a much-improved model all of a sudden. All in all, he looks an attractive bet at 25/1."
