Topolski team take aim at Aintree

David Arbuthnot has his sights set on the Grand National meeting at Aintree with unbeaten hurdler Topolski.

The five-year-old has impressed in winning at Sandown and Newton Abbot, earning a step up in class next month.

“I was absolutely delighted with him last time and he has come out of the race great,” said Newbury-based Arbuthnot.

“I think we’ll aim towards to Liverpool with him now as he deserves to take his chance in one of those better races.

“His form is good. He had Megastar in third at Sandown and he ran very well at Cheltenham last week.

“He beat Victor Dartnall’s horse (Shammick Boy) at Newton Abbot, who hadn’t done anything wrong, either, so I’m very happy with how he’s doing.”
