Eider then Aintree the plan for Raz Raz De Maree's main objective is the Randox Health Grand National at Aintree on April 8th following his fine effort in the Welsh equivalent. The Cork Grand National scorer closed the gap on winner Native River to a length and three-quarters at the line in the Chepstow marathon but could not quite get to the bold-jumping top-weight. Trainer Gavin Cromwell plans to send Raz De Maree back to Britain for his next race, the Betfred Eider Chase on February 25th, before heading to Liverpool for the world's greatest steeplechase. "It was a great run in Chepstow. It was just disappointing to come up against a horse like that," said the Navan handler. "He's come out of it good and has been in the form of his life. "He'll probably go to the Eider and then the English National. That's the plan."
