Reports in which The Goffer (IRE) was mentioned
The eyes of the racing world will be focussed on Aintree at 4pm on Saturday for what promises to be another pulsating renewal of the Randox Grand National. Here are the thoughts of some of the connections hoping to strike gold in the world’s most famous steeplechase:

Emma has been with me for years. She is a great girl and is one of our barn managers. It’s a brilliant race for the staff and they all work very hard. The Goffer will go for the Ultima at Cheltenham. She didn’t panic and gave him a great spin.

That was fantastic. He jumped from fence to fence., said Russell.Gordon really fancied him if he came back to his best. I kept asking him(for big jumps) and he kept responding. It's easy when horses do that for you. We thought he had a chance on the drying ground. He probably wants a bit further but he jumped great and galloped the whole way to the line. We're very happy. Davy was great on him. I told him to go out and take every chance, don't leave the paint. In those big handicaps that's what you have to do. We'll look at all those long distance races and he could be an Irish National horse.

He liked the better ground a lot better and jumped a lot better there today. He had a good run when he won a Grade 3 hurdle here last March. We'll try and find a little winners' race somewhere now and he is qualified for a handicap mark now so we'll see where we go.

This horse was actually working well since the last day. I didn't think he'd do that but he did it well and he's an improving horse. He's a nice big horse and I'm very happy with him. He's a grand horse and he's big enough to jump fences as well.
