Thanks on National trail


Despite crashing out in the Hennessy Gold Cup Big Fella Thanks remains firmly on course for a tilt at the Grand National in the spring.

For the Newbury a major contender is Big Fella,but only made it as far as the third fence before parting company with Graham Lee.

"He's fine and he'll probably have a run over hurdles in January somewhere," said the West Witton handler.

"After that he'll probably go for the Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury, which he won last year, before going back to Aintree for the National."
