One For Arthur stays on course for Grand National

Grand National hero One For Arthur was back in full work today, with trainer Lucinda Russell eyeing two potential options for his next outing.

The 2017 winner returned to the track for the first time in 18 months on Saturday, where he unseated at the third fence in the Many Clouds Chase at Aintree under Tom Scudamore.

But he was back in work today and the trainer said she is mulling over two options for him.

She said: “Arthur is absolutely grand and he returned to work here today.

“I am now weighing up the options, possibly Wetherby on Boxing Day or Warwick for the Classic Chase he won in the run up to the National in 2017.”

Scudamore was riding in place of the injured Derek Fox who hopes to be back on him for his next outing.
