Tatenen is a possible for the Grand National following his game victory at Ascot on Saturday.

The eight-year-old rallied in determined fashion to get back up and deny I’msingingtheblues by a head to win the BetVictor.com Handicap Chase for a second successive year.

The next port of call for the Andy Stewart-owned gelding is now likely to be the racing+ Chase at Kempton on February 25.

Should he put in a good performance in that valuable three-mile handicap, connections would seriously consider a tilt at the world’s greatest steeplechase.

“He did it really well. It was a tough performance and it was a bit nail-biting,” trainer Richard Rowe said.

“He was winning off a higher mark than last year and this was more competitive.

“Touch wood he’s come out if it absolutely fine. He’s a little bit tired, but you’d expect that. The horse has given everything.

“He’s also going to be entered in the Grand National and he might not run again after the racing+. We’ll see and just take it one race at a time.

“If he did go to Aintree for the National, he wouldn’t go to Cheltenham.”

Last season’s Grand National runner-up Oscar Time has been ruled out for the season with a leg injury.
