Mullins seeks Aintree prep run for Chelsea Tom Mullins would like to get one more run into Chelsea Harbour, possibly over hurdles, before a third crack at the John Smith's Grand National. The 10-year-old was ninth in the Aintree marathon in 2008 but fell at the third last year, and he has been handed 10st 11lb for this season's renewal. Mullins said: "It's not a bad weight, I'd be happy enough with it. I think the bottom weight on the day will be about 10st 5lb. The top 60-odd horses this year only go down to 10st 7lb." He added: "That means he could only be giving 5lb or 6lb to the bottom weight in the race, so it doesn't look too bad. "He had an injury but he's back in flying form. I'd love to run him once more. It could be over hurdles, but it depends where it fits in." Chelsea Harbour has not been in action since being well beaten behind Denman in the Hennessy at Newbury in November.
