Trainer Arthur Moore will have taken some encouragement from the win of his Authinger in the opening Lisaleen Schooling Grounds Maiden Hurdle, ahead of Organisedconfusion's Aintree Grand National bid.

Ever notice how pedigree experts can explain a success so as to make it seem inevitable – after the event. It’s a flim-flam in many ways, designed to disguise a more mundane reality which is that talent is mostly a genetic crap-shoot. But listen to enough of these experts over the next couple of weeks [...]
