VICSAFLIA is taken to make a winning NH debut for the same connections who won the Aintree Grand National this year. The son of Old Vic showed that he possesses plenty of ability when landing a point-to-point contest 25 days ago and is sure to be fairly forward for this first run under Rules. Karazhan makes plenty of appeal on debut for the powerful Nicky Henderson yard, while Vegas Cash will be hoping to put his experience to good use.
