While no horse has won both the Gold Cup and Grand National since the 1970s, plenty have at least placed in both races- Anibale Fly, Santini and Mon Mome are examples from the last 15 years.
RACING POST VERDICT
That Galopin Des Champs was eased out after his Irish Gold Cup wins says plenty about the hype surrounding him before then. All that can beat him is the hill or a back-to-form A PLUS TARD, who put up a performance for the ages when winning last year's race and rates as the value to topple the favourite if he makes it here in one piece. Grand National winner Noble Yeats should not be underestimated, either.
