Mullins keen on Chelsea chance

Tom Mullins believes his Chelsea Harbour ticks all the right boxes for Saturday´s Grand National.

The eight-year-old was a smart novice last term and won a Grand National trial at Punchestown in February.

He will also have the assistance of Davy Russell, currently involved in a titanic struggle with Ruby Walsh for the jockeys´ championship, in the saddle.

Mullins said: "He´s won on all types of ground but I suppose his best wins have come on terrible ground.

"He won over hurdles on good ground though.

"It was a decent enough effort last time (fourth). The ground had changed and we knew it was going to be a fast pace and Davy wanted to sit him in a bit more.

"He came through them well in the end and came out of it very well.

"Some people think he might jump better on better ground and I wouldn´t disagree with them either.

"We´ve ticked all the boxes up to now and hopefully nothing happens between here and Saturday."
