	HedgeHunter This is the leading Irish Challenger from the top stable of Willie Mullins. Has been primed for the race and ran a cracker in last years Grand National only falling a couple from home when still in with a chance. Great jumper but stamina may be a problem, will love the ground. Latest Hedgehunter Betting Odds

	Strong Resolve Has been running well all season. This is his first time over the National course so one can never be sure if he will take to the fences but jumps very well and will love the soft ground. Second in the Welsh Grand National gives this grey every chance off a low weight. Latest Strong Resolve Betting Odds

	Clan Royal From the Jonjo O'Neill stable which has been affected by a virus all year. It looks as if the stable is just coming to itself and if Clan Royal is in top form has a major chance having finished second in last years National and loves it around Aintree. Latest Clan Royal Betting Odds

	Amberleigh House The 2004 winner of the Grand National. Comes into the race having had an excellent preparation but there are concerns regarding his weight and at 13 years of age will probably find a few to good. Latest Amberleigh House Betting Odds

	Forest Gunner All the talk prior to the race manly due to the Lady Rider, Carrie Ford taking the ride. Never before has a Lady Rider won the National but on Forrest Gunner she would have to have every chance as he jumps brilliantly and loves the Grand National Fences having won over the course last year. Latest Forest Gunner Betting Odds

	Colnel Rayburn A giant of a horse standing 18 hands high. He jumps and stays and is a leading chance for the Paul Nolan Stable. The softer the conditions the better with all his best form over extended distances and heavy ground. Latest Colnel Rayburn Betting Odds

	Joly Bay Likes to run close to the pace and has shown good form this season winning a valuable handicap at Sandown in February. Seems to come to himself in the spring so potential to run a big race. Latest Joly Bay Betting Odds

	Take the Stand This year's runner up in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. The form has been franked with Grey Abbey fourth in the Gold Cup winning on Thursday. A lot will depend on how he jumps the first couple of fences as his jumping can be sketchy at times. Very much the class horse in the race and being a nine year old is the right age to take this race. Latest Take the Stand Betting Odds

	It Takes Time Martin Pipes leading hope for National Glory. Has shown reasonable form over the larger obstacles but was a fabulous hurdler over extended distances. Has won a grade one chase this season and he is an interesting runner and you must treat all Pipe's runners with great respect, but doubts remain over jumping these fences. Latest It Takes Time Betting Odds

	Innox The French Raider who has run a couple of excellent races in the build up to the National. Trainer Doumen is one of the best at preparing one of his charges for the big day and could be a real contender as he will love the conditions of the race. Latest Innox Betting Odds
