Liam Treadwell believes he can complete a Grand National double today.

The Arundel jockey, who rode Mon Mome to glory last year is on board another 100-1 shot for this year’s renewal at Aintree.

Treadwell, below, hopes Nozic, a small horse trained by champion trainer Paul Nicholls, will rise to the occasion.

The 24-year-old got the ride after fearing he would miss out on the big day with Venetiia Williams’ stable jockey Aidan Coleman replacing him on Mon Mome.

He said: “You’ve got to be in it to win it and have to go into the race with a positive attitude. I’m on an outsider again but I’d love to think I could win it once more.

“I’ve been very pleased with Nozic in preparation. The National has big fences but the fact he’s small might be an advantage, because he’ll be more nimble.

“My experience from last year will be massive. I won’t be asking any silly questions early on. I’ll feel our way into it. It’s four-and-a-half miles so there’s no rush. Last year Mon Mome was outpaced early on and grew into it .

“I’ll set my markers: Get over the first, over each of the famous fences, like Bechers, the Chair, Foinavon. Tick each one off and move on to the next.”

But Treadwell has banned his family from attending Aintree.

He said: “It’s a long way from Sussex but I would be nervous for them if they were there. I need to focus on the race and not worry about how they are, whether they’ve got tickets for this or that.

“They respect that. So they will all be back home in Arundel watching it on the television.

“There will be my mum Lorraine, dad Mark, brother Nathan and grandparents Donald and Margaret watching. I’m sure I’ll speak to them afterwards. The only supporter I’ll have is my fiancee Emily Warner.”

Treadwell rides in The Sun newspaper’s silks.

Bookmakers Corals bought Nozic but the horse will be “owned” for the race by Help The Heroes charity, four Sun competition winners and five punters of the betting firm, Sussex owner Andy Stewart’s My Will, last year’s third, has been rated 40-1 with Mon Mome 11-1.

The conditions have dried to good to soft from good to soft, soft in places.

Brighton-based Stewart’s Big Buck’s is to be rested until the Hennessy Gold Cup meeting at Newbury towards the end of the year after completing his second festival double of the season. Running in the colours of The Stewart family, Ruby Walsh rode the horse to a second successive Liverpool Hurdle triumph on Saturday.

He recently won the World Hurdle for a second time in a row at Cheltenham.

Nicholls said: "He’ll probably run in the same four races next season and, if we look after him, who knows after that. That was his eighth win on the trot.

The better race the better he runs, and in a lesser race he'll just do enough.”
