Dan Skelton: Yard’s four runners are all live chances on opening day at Aintree
Published:
Ladbrokes ambassador Dan Skelton has four runners at the start of the Grand National meeting on Thursday.
The Warwickshire-based trainer took time out of his busy schedule to discuss their prospects in the two races.
Both horses have been in good form at home and are fresh and well. They both have good enough figures to have a good chance. I am really happy with the pair and with a fair round, they should be in the mix come the end.

Harry [Skelton] rides Third Time Lucki and he definitely has a chance. He was a good fourth at the Cheltenham Festival.
Hatcher turns out quite quickly after finishing an impressive third the other day at Ascot. I think he has stepped forward for that and I am looking forward to running him off a low weight. I give all four of my runners live chances.
