FRENCH FAVOURITE
AINTREE GRAND NATIONAL
By advice cabled to Australian papers ]..,ori March 12, the joint favourites for the Liverpool Grand National Steeple- \ chase, to be decided on Friday, were ;.;.the- French horse Takvor Pacha and
* Last year's winner Royal Mail, now owned by Mrs. C. Evans, formerly \ Camille Clifford, famous as the Gibson Girl on the Edwardian stage.
Those next in demand were Blue i^ Shirt, Delachance, Cooleen, Dunhill Castle, Rtoyal Danieli, Stalbridge Park, ' Red. Knight, and Red Freeman.
• The pmce of Delachance has light- ■,-. ened because he ran badly in the "National Hunt Steeplechase at Cheltenham a fortnight ago. The failure " .of Airgead Sios to obtain a place in the same race prompted his owner to announce that he was a doubtful starter in the Grand National.
Takvor Pacha won the Three-mile Optional Selling Steeplechase at Hurst Park on March 11.
