The Peter Fahy trained nine year old placed third in the Welsh National on Tuesday.
The Aintree Grand National is in the sights of The Big Dog and his midlands owners after a strong run in the Welsh National this week.
Soft ground and top weight are being given as the two likely reasons for the Peter Fahy trained chaser missing out on winning the race.
Lusmagh's Colin Kelly was at Chepstow to watch his horse hit the final stages of a marathon 3 mile 6 furlong race with a great chance of a career's best victory.
An error at the penultimate fence meant a third place finish, but on day that was good enough to convince The Big Dog's connections that the Aintree Grand National is a realistic target in 2023.
His owner catches up with David Hollywood about the race, the horse, and the plans for 2023:
