A GRAND National-winning trainer is being tipped to land a ‘famous gamble’ after his 20-1 outsider was hammered into 5-1 favourite.
Emmet Mullins landed the 2022 Aintree feature with Noble Yeats at an awesome 50-1.
Emmet Mullins, far right, is fancied to land another massive gamble in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on Saturday[/caption]The Irish handler has struck fear into bookies ever since and they always price his runners knowing a gamble could form.

But This Songisforyou appeared to slip through the net, being 20-1 for Saturday’s Cambridgeshire race at Newmarket just last week.
Now the six-year-old gelding has been smashed off the boards for mega 35-runner handicap over 1m1f – and worth more than £90,000 to the winner.
This Songisforyou was a comfortable winner of a premier handicap at the Curragh in Ireland a fortnight ago.
The lightly raced six-year-old was sent off 9-1 for that assignment, his first win – but only fourth run – since winning a Clonmel race a year before.
Punters clearly saw something they liked in This Songisforyou and his price has come right in ever since.
Coral’s David Stevens said: “This Songisforyou was a 20-1 outsider last week, and his price has collapsed dramatically, to the point where he has now overtaken Roi De France at the head of the market.
“His many backers will be hoping the recent Curragh winner can land a famous Cambridgeshire gamble this weekend.”
Five-time Irish champion jockey Colin Keane gets the ride on the horse, whose career earnings have already gone over the £100,000 mark.
