Nina Carberry will have another chance at becoming the first woman to ride the Crabbie's Grand National winner a week on Saturday after being booked by Mouse Morris for First Lieutenant.

Winner of the Grade One Betfred Bowl over the Mildmay fences at Aintree in 2013, the 10-year-old has not quite been the force of old of late but was second to Boston Bob in the Punchestown Gold Cup last season.

Morris was left needing a jockey with Bryan Cooper suspended.

He told the Guardian: "He's got as good a chance as any. I was fourth in it one year (with Lastofthebrownies in 1989) and he'd have a better chance than that one. He's got a bit of class but you also need a bit of luck."
