Hunter best in Donny feature The Rainbow Hunter is set for a second crack at the Grand National after springing a 25-1 surprise in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster. Kim Bailey's charge unseated his rider at the Canal Turn on the first circuit in the Aintree showpiece last year and connections would like to have another try, and all roads lead back to Liverpool after he took this three-mile handicap. Solix made the running until the second-last, where Nick Scholfield asked The Rainbow Hunter for his effort, and although Baile Anrai tried to mount a challenge, he was still a length and a half down at the line. Unioniste, the well-backed 11-4 favourite, was eight lengths away in third. Scholfield said: "I was a bit worried before racing as the ground was tacky, but the rain we've had earlier helped. He ran in the National last year and I suppose the owners will want to go there again." That was confirmed by Kevin Clancy, of the winning May We Never Be Found Out Partnership. He said: "He was unseated last year and we'd like to go there again."
