Derek Fox is confident Corach Rambler can do the Tiger Roll in the Grand National

The two-time Grand National winner has high hopes for last year's winner after finishing third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup



Corach Rambler won the 2023 Randox Grand National

Derek Fox is the most successful rider in this year's £1m Grand National.

He is the only rider in the industry to have won the world famous race twice.




His first success came on the Lucinda Russell-trained One For Arthur in 2017 and he won again on Corach Rambler, also trained by Russell, at Aintree 12 months ago.

Corach Rambler is favorite to rob Scotland and emulate double winner Tiger Roll, who won in 2018 and 2019.

Fox, 31, sat down with AceOdds to talk about his hopes in an exclusive interview with Mirror Racing.

How do you rate your chances of winning the Grand National this year?

"It's very exciting to go in on a horse who is 5/1 favourite. I think he's deserved his price and he's prepared superbly. Although he hasn't won a race this year, he's been aiming very high. His last two runs were in Grade One races, and his preparation has been going really well. After watching him ride in the morning and stuff, I rode him a few works myself and he feels good. I couldn't wait for his preparation to get any better, which is rare to say, but so far he hasn't had a single bite. I think that's a big plus for any horse."

How much did your performance in the Gold Cup raise expectations before the race?
