Native River to spearhead Tizzard team at Aintree
Gold Cup fourth to tackle Betway Bowl.
Native River will lead Colin and Joe Tizzard’s team into battle at next week’s Randox Grand National meeting at Aintree. The 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero came up short in his bid to regain his crown at Prestbury Park earlier in the month, but was far from disgraced in finishing fourth – the fourth time he has finished in the first four in the blue riband. The 11-year-old is now set for his first tilt at the Betway Bowl on Thursday week. Joe Tizzard, who will shortly take over the licence from his father Colin, said: “Native River came out of the Gold Cup fine. He knew he’d had a race, but he’s fine now and in full work.✨Derby Sale, Consistently The Best✨
