LIVERPOOL NATIONAL.

THE WEIGHTS DECLARED. GOLDEN MILLER ON TOP. The Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase will be decided at A intree 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 66 went to the post. Since the entries closed Forbra, who won in 1932, has been fatally injured. The lowest weight that can be allotted is 10.7 and the highest 12.7, and Golden Miller, who fell in 1933 when carrying 12.2, and won last year with a similar impost, has been awarded the ‘maximum, and, despite his burden, ho is likely to be very stronglv fancied again. Tbomond 11. is next with 11.13. and. after finishing third | last year with 12.4, he will also be fancied, j Nobenu won the Champion Chase, two j miles seven and a half furlongs, at Aintrco j last March with 12.0, and with 11.9 Eng- i lish writers do not think that he is by any j means thrown in. Royal Ransom (11.8 j, j who, like Thomond 11., is owned by the . American sportsman, Mr J. 11. Whitney, i has won three two-mile hurdle events this ; season and yet to be tested over the Aintree country.
