Numbersixvalverde out for the season

NUMBERSIXVALVERDE will not bid to recapture his John Smith's Grand National crown in April after being ruled out for the season.

The 12-year-old struck Aintree gold for trainer Martin Brassil in 2006 but has not run since finishing sixth behind Silver Birch in last year's renewal.

Brassil had hoped to get his star stayer back in time for another crack at the marathon event, but those plans have now been abandoned.

He said: "He had a slight setback in October and he's taken a long time to get over it.

"It has taken longer than expected and we wanted to have two runs before Aintree. Time is just not on our side so I didn't enter him in the race at all.

"He's out for the season and we will now just concentrate on getting him back next year."

Numbersixvalverde had been available at odds ranging from 25-1 to 33s for the National.

That's a great shame about numbersix.

One of my favs. Always tries.

Voy Por was beaten I'm afraid to say, but he was giving quite a bit of weight away. Some might say he was just a shade disappointing, which could be true, but Paul Nicholls thinks abn awful lot of the horse that won his race.

The Listener won in Ireland. He jumped beautifully and made almost all of the running.
