Perceval Legallois
Talented sort won Paddy Power at Leopardstown in 2024 and valuable handicap hurdle back there at last year's DRF; only 10-1 for last year's Grand National where he fell early on; well back when unseating 4 out in the National last month and pulled up at Punchestown; has worn a tongue-tie before, cheekpieces now added.

From the connections
“Perceval Legallois was very nimble over hurdles. I thought coming here he's a better chaser than he is a hurdler but he was good there. He's in the Grand National so we'll have to consider it - Gavin Cromwell, trainer”
“Perceval Legallois got me out of trouble! It didn't go to plan. I didn't want to be as far back as I was. They kicked on down the back straight and I was a good bit back, further than I wanted to be, but I weaved my way through and he winged the last. I thought coming down to the second-last I had a chance if he kept going the way he was going. I got a great kick out of that because the horse deserved it. He's been unlucky on his last few runs. I knew the ability was there but nothing went right on his last few runs - Mark Walsh, jockey.”
“That was great from Percival Legallois. We've liked him and I was fairly confident he'd handle conditions. Obviously we were very afraid of Willie's horse coming here but I'm not one bit surprised because he has shown us plenty at home - Gavin Cromwell, trainer.”
