Mouse eyeing Aintree with Baily

Trainer Mouse Morris is already looking to Aintree in the spring for Baily Green after he registered a fifth consecutive victory at Roscommon on Monday.

The six-year-old has been in the form of his life this summer and extended his winning run with a most impressive victory at Grade Three level, although his task was admittedly made easier by the fall of favourite Dylan Ross.

Morris intends to give his charge a winter break and believes he could be an ideal horse to take to the Grand National meeting at Aintree in April.

The trainer said: "He's going the right way, isn't he?

"He was certainly on-song there yesterday and we're delighted with him.

"We'll give him a nice break now and bring him back in the spring time and go for something at Liverpool (Aintree) maybe.

"He'll probably get an entry in the Henderson race at Cheltenham (Grand Annual), but it wouldn't be a priority. A flatter track like Aintree would probably suit him better."
