Fergal O'Brien is set to give Perfect Candidate a racecourse gallop as part of his preparation for the Randox Health Grand National at Aintree next month.

O'Brien reports the 10-year-old to be in fine shape as the build-up to the world's greatest steeplechase steps up a gear.

"He's fine. Hopefully he'll go somewhere for a racecourse gallop and see how we go," said O'Brien, who won the Midlands Grand National on Saturday with Chase The Spud.

"All roads lead to Aintree."
