Gavin Cromwell: Bioluminescence all set for William Hill Half A Mill Becher Chase
William Hill ambassador Gavin Cromwell has provided the latest on Bioluminescence ahead of her run in the William Hill Half A Mill Becher Chase at Aintree on Saturday.
Speaking to William Hill, Cromwell said: “We run Bioluminescence in the William Hill Half A Mill Becher Chase at Aintree on Saturday (2.40pm). The Half A Mill bonus is definitely interesting to us and obviously it would be great to win it.
“She is very ground dependent though and come Grand National time I think she’d be unlikely to get ground soft enough for her. We’ll take it one step at a time.
“It looks as though the ground is soft enough for Saturday, though, and there’s more rain to come, which will only be positive for her. She has the benefit of a run, and she came out of it well.
“We’re happy with her and it looks a good race for her. She’s never jumped the National fences before, but they won’t be a problem to her. We’re hopeful she can run well.”
