I fancy Silvinaco Conti if the ground isn't too bad.

Many Clouds.
Ran in the race last year as an afterthought following a poor run in the Gold Cup.
Has been specifically trained for the National this year. Carries no more weight.
Barring accidents he can win it again.

Wouldn' t rule him out but I don't think Silviniaco Conti will stay.
The Druid's Nephew has been trained for the race and so has Gallant Oscar. Rule The World isn't a 50/1 chance if you look at his overall form but he struggles to get his head in front.

I've had a few quid E/W on Silviniaco Conti at 11s. Got Highland Lodge in the works sweep so that's a waste of 2 quid!

Goonyella recently won the Midlands National and the rain has made the ground perfect for him. As an outsider I'm looking at The Romford Pele.

I walked in the bookies about 2 minutes before the off, messed up my first betting slip so the Grand National "Helper" grabbed another slip for me and started to complete it for me so I would get the bet on in time...but he then marked Rule The World instead of the horse I'd stuck a pin in -  I told him to leave it as it was and got the bet on just in time.

Just wish I'd had more than 2 quid on it now!

Did you ask him to fill in your Lottery numbers as well?  ;)

I had rule the world as a possible cheeky winner but chose saint-are instead! Got second and third on each ways at £2.50 apiece so won just shy of £80! Not too shabby!
