Killyglen on the road to Aintree again Killyglen was still in contention when falling four fences out in last year's National and a return to Aintree is on the agenda for the 10-year-old chaser. "We are hoping to head to Aintree again with Killyglen," said County Antrim trainer Stuart Crawford. "On the one hand, I was delighted with the way he jumped the fences last year but, on the other, it was obviously a little disappointing because he was going so well before he fell. "I hope that the experience will serve him well and, if we can get him back there in the same kind of form with the same conditions, I would be hopeful that he can run a big race again. "He's a 10-year-old now but he has been lightly raced throughout his career. "We will look to give him one more run before the National, probably at the start of March. "Doncaster suits him well, so the Grimthorpe Chase is a possibility again. "He will also be entered in the Premier Chase at Kelso, where we could meet Ballabriggs, and he will be given an entry for Leopardstown (March 4)."
