Lively Citizen
Long in the tooth and no longer the force of old but arguably ran better than bare form suggests when weakening fifth at Aintree (2m1f, good) three weeks ago, and this race is less competitive; could have a say.

From the connections
“We've highly tried Lively Citizen over the years and he's been a great yard servant. It became quite evident there were more opportunities over fences for him and we'll stick to that discipline for now. He travels well so we may well head back north as he seems to enjoy it and we'll look for another small field for him - David Jeffreys, trainer.”
“I came up with this plan a long time ago and for the owners to back me with a horse that was 113 coming into a 0-140 was ambitious, but they allowed me the time to do it. Lively Citizen is a burly horse and is one of life's great givers but this was the plan. I was a bit worried we didn't get the rain we were promised - DJ Jeffreys, trainer.”
