IT seems like a Lifetime ago since I won the Grand National on Monty’s Pass but it was one of the biggest thrills in my career.
Jumping those famous Aintree fences – they were even bigger and tougher back then in 2003 – is a buzz I miss.
So I will just be a little bit jealous when I see the jocks lining up for our first sight of them this season in today’s Grand Sefton.
If I could pick one to be on it would be LIFETIME AMBITION (2.11) trained by the brilliant Jessica Harrington.
He won at Down Royal first time up last year where his jumping was electric.
