Seabass delights Walsh Seabass was third in the John Smith's Grand National 12 months ago and his trainer Ted Walsh is expecting another good run at Aintree. The 10-year-old is 5lbs higher but ran well from his revised mark when third in the Bobbyjo Chase last month. "The Bobbyjo was the first time he'd run off his new mark of 154, so I was glad to see him run up to it," Walsh told At The Races. "It was a good run and I was delighted he ran as well as he should do." Walsh has a good second string to his bow in Colbert Station owned by JP McManus and winner of the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas. "He delivered well in the Paddy Power. The trip was a bit of a worry as he shows plenty of pace, but he bolted in there and there was no doubt about the trip," said Walsh. "He's been freshened up since Christmas. There's not a lot to choose between the two of them, but Seabass has the experience of being there."
