Nina Carberry has been given another opportunity to become the first woman to win the Grand National at Aintree next weekend.
The 30-year-old will ride First Lieutenant after trainer Mouse Morris was forced to find a replacement for retained rider Bryan Cooper, who is serving a suspension.
"He's got as good a chance as any. I was fourth in it one year (with Lastofthebrownies in 1989) and he'd have a better chance than that one," Mouse told The Guardian.
"He's got a bit of class but you also need a bit of luck."
Carberry has completed the course in three of her four attempts, and her best finish was seventh on Character Building in 2010.
