Dan Skelton: Yard’s four runners are all live chances on opening day at Aintree

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.

Bennys King & Not That Fuisse – 4.05 Aintree

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.

Hatcher & Third Time Lucki – 4.40 Aintree

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.
