Vic's Canvas has Aintree in his sights Dermot McLoughlin is looking forward to the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree next month with the veteran Vic's Canvas. The 13-year-old is owned by the Bodeen Bandits Partnership which includes At The Races presenter Gary O'Brien and has proved a grand servant to connections, with five wins under Rules highlighted by the Paddy Power Cork Grand National back in 2014. Despite advancing years, the Old Vic gelding is still pleasing his Ratoath trainer and all roads lead to Liverpool on April 9. "Vic's Canvas is on target for the National. He's a bonny little horse and has a nice weight at 10st 6lb. He's 13 but is still pleasing us," said McLoughlin. "He's got experience of the fences and ran well in the Becher this season."
