Grand National Racecard

Big Fella Thanks    Form: 36-2U1   (P F Nicholls / B Geraghty)

Ran a cracker in the Greatwood Gold Cup last month and 6th in the race last year. Another year of experience and carrying good weight so has to have a real chance.  -  £40 Free Bet

Dont Push It    Form: 1-423P   (J O'Neill / A P McCoy)

A P McCoy will be on board and should get the trip so should be watched. May be short of the win off of a high weight but has each/way chances.  -  £40 Free Bet

Arbor Supreme    Form: 0-37U2   (W P Mullins / P Townend)

Well backed after some good runs over in Ireland and has good claims if he takes to the fences. May like a bit of rain before the race but looks to have the class needed.  -  £20 Free Bet

Black Apalachi    Form: 51U-02   (D T Hughes / D O'Regan)

Ran a cracker last year before falling on the second circuit when looking the winner. May have missed his best chance but loves the fences and cannot be ruled out.  -  £40 Free Bet

Tricky Trickster    Form: 21-219   (P F Nicholls / R Johnson)

Aimed at the Grand National all season and run a blinder to win the Aon Chase this season. A poor run in the Gold Cup has dented his chances but could still run a big race.  -  £40 Free Bet

Niche Market    Form: -83529   (R H Buckler / H Skelton)

Irish Grand National winner last year so should have no problems staying. Has had a decent season this year so has genuine each/way claims.  -  Bet Now

Backstage    Form: 123138   (G Elliott / D J Condon)

Will need to improve if he is to win here but does have the potential to run well and connections fancy his chances.  -  £20 Free Bet

Cant Buy Time    Form: 4F-016   (J O'Neill / R McLernon)

Not without a chance of running into a place, fell last year but had a decent season and looks to be improving for Jonjo O'Neill.  -  £20 Free Bet

Irish Raptor    Form: 01-4U5   (N A Twiston-Davies / P Brennan)

Great record around Aintree and could be in the mix if he can regain his Topham Chase winning form.  -  £40 Free Bet

Cloudy Lane    Form: -83529   (D McCain Jnr / J Maguire)

Looks to have missed his best chance last year but the McCain family always produce a good National horse, not without a squeak of running into a place.  -  £10 Free Bet

My Will    Form: 3-2757   (P F Nicholls / N Schofield)

Third in last year's race when favourite, not good enough then and seen no improvement this season so likely to come up short once again in 2010.  -  Bet Now

Erics Charm    Form: P5-011   (O Sherwood / W Hutchinson)

One that we like with nice each/way claims at a long price for punters. May have seen his best days but in great form and could run a big race.  -  £10 Free Bet

Ballyfitz    Form: 4P1540   (N A Twiston-Davies / D England)

Has shown some potential in the past but has trouble jumping, will struggle over the big fences and should be ignored.  -  Bet Now

Madison Du Berlais    Form: 1-3244   (D E Pipe / T Scudamore)

A group 1 winner on best form but not had a great season so far. Likely to struggle off of top weight on first National run.  -  Bet Now

Flintoff    Form: 3/52-P   (Miss V Williams / A Tinkler)

Owned by Cricketer Andy Flintoff and is sure to be popular with punters. Pulled up in the Welsh National so some stamina doubts so may come up short.  -  £10 Free Bet

Beat The Boys    Form: -1P1PP   (N A Twiston-Davies / B Hughes)

An inconsistent performer who should be avoided on current form despite the occasional flash of class.  -  £125 Free Bet

Nozic    Form: P00-69   (P F Nicholls / L Treadwell)

The outsider from the Paul Nicholls yard, has done nothing to suggest he is about to run a big race, another to draw a line through.  -  £125 Free Bet

Preists Leap    Form: -780U0   (T G O'Leary / P T Enright)

Looks to be out of his depth here despite getting round last year. No form this season, one to draw a line through.  -  £40 Free Bet

Conna Castle    Form: 43545U   (J J Mangan / S W Flanagan)

Not won in 20 starts dating back two years and no reason to believe that will end at Aintree. Enough said.  -  £40 Free Bet

Pablo Du Charmil    Form: 606-4F   (D E Pipe / D Cook)

Carrying above 11st and one of the David Pipe horses to avoid on form at a long price.  -  £20 Free Bet
