Kerry Lee’s Alfie Spinner set for an outing in the Grand National Trial at Haydock racecourse
Lee's veteran proved age is just a number when chasing home fellow teenager Raz De Maree in the Welsh National at Chepstow earlier this month
KERRY LEE is planning on running Alfie Spinner in the Betfred Grand National Trial at Haydock next month.
Lee was thrilled with his run in the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow earlier this month, as he proved age is just a number when staying on strongly in the marathon contest at the age of 13.
Lee said: "I was absolutely thrilled with Alfie Spinner. He came out of the race bouncing, as good as ever. He is definitely 13 years young and not old.
"He is in super order and I imagine we will look at the Grand National Trial at Haydock as the next target.
"It is over three and a half miles and the ground up there has been heavy all season. I can't think that will be changing much over the next few weeks.

"I was hugely proud of him and Richard Patrick (conditional jockey) at Chepstow, as they both really showed themselves up well that day.
"Alfie Spinner is a massive ambassador for National Hunt racing. He is a 13-year-old racing with so much zest and enthusiasm, long may it continue."
