LIVERPOOL NATIONAL.

THE WEIGHTS DECLARED

GOLDEN MILLER ON TOP

The Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase will be decided at Aintree on Friday, March 29, and sixty entries were received, against 73 last year and 66 the year before. The record was in 1929, Gregalach's year, when 121 horses were entered and 00 went to the post. Since the entries closed Forbra, who won in 11)32, was fatally injured. The lowest weight that can be allotted is 10.7 and the iiignest 12.7, and Golden Miller, who fell in when carrying 12.2, and won last year with a similar impost, has been awarded the maximum, and, despito his burden, he is likely to be very strongly fancied again. Thomond 11. is next with 11.13, and, after finishing third last year with 12.4, he will also be taucied. Noiseau won the Champion: Chase, two miles seven and a half furlongs, at Aintree last March with 12.0, and with 11.9 English writers do not think that he is by any means thrown in. Royal Ransom (11.8), who like Thomond 11., is owned by the American sportsman, Mr. J. H. Whitney, has won three two-mile hurdle events thiis season and has yet to be tested over the Aintree country. Avenger this season won the Highiield Handicap Chase, three miles, at Birmingham, the Grand Allies' Handicap Chase, three miles, with 11.6, at Manchester, the Lancashire Chase, three miles and a half, with 11.12, on the same course, the Coleshill Chase, three miles, with 12.0, at Birmingham, and the Quoin Chase, about three miles, with 12.4, at Leicester. He has 11.7 and has not yet been tried at Aintree. Oeil de Boeuf is a French entry. ■Reyrioldstown (11.4) won the Belvoir Chase, two miles, with 11.10.at Leicester this season and later captured the Lambourn Chase, three miles, at Newbury, with 11.12. Delaneige (11.2) was fourth.ra the-Liverpool Grand.National in.1933 with 113 and was second to Golden Miller last year with 11,6; He was actually first over the last fence on that occasion, lie lias been second in three other races since then and will have support. Remus (11.2) has contested the last two Grand Nationals, being twelfth and tenth, with 1112 and 11.9 respectively. Really True (10 13) was second to Kellsboro Jack with 10 12 in 1033, but fell last year. Southern Hero, Master Orange, Alpine Hut and Readv Cash all fell last year, while Slater (10.7), who ran third in 1933. with a simi'lar- impost,-was pulled up. Uncle Batt was fifth last year with 10.13 and now has the minimum. The weights are:—
