Stephen, Vincent and Ed do their best to find as many winners as possible throughout the Grand National meeting, and Danny Mullins gives us the inside track on his rides the week of the Festival, and of course some insight into decorated trainer Willie Mullins yard. Danny gives us the lowdown on horses such as; Kemboy, Ashroe Diamond, El Fabiolo, Royal Rendezvous, Blackbow, Annamix, Gentleman De Mee, Brahma Bull, Class Conti, Burrows Saint and more...
