yep, not on names i like though, i do a small bit of form studying to determine which unlucky horse gets my vote of confidence and increases it's chance of falling at the first fence

The Grand National is an absolute lottery! Contrary to popular belief, most of the horses in it are not of a very high standard. Some of the races before have much higher class of animals running.

However, I will eventually spend a few mins picking some possibilities out

By the way, Irish or French bred horses have won this race since 2001

The race has been won by a 9, 10 or 11 year old horse since 2005.

Don't back female horses to win it - there have only been 13 in 175 years!

Not very high standard?

Every horse submitted has to have been placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in a 3 mile or more chase.

That means there will be a few outsiders, but the majority will be very good horses, not many horses can complete the Aintree course.

The horses must be handicapped 120+, be able to run the course and the fences.

It's a grade 3 handicap, not a grade 1. Still good horses but not the best.

But still a class 1, there are grade 1 handicaps run at Aintree.

Grade 1 is more prestigious, and will have a small number of top horses, the National cant be classed as a Grade 1 because its the longest and hardest hunt race in the calender, top horses wouldnt be able to run it. The distance, the highest age entrance and the mount of fences

I understand what you mean about the class of horse though

I got Rebel rebellion in the sweep stake at work. Which means it will probably fall at the first.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I'm not a betting person so I like to choose the outsiders like Wyck Hill or Tranquil Sea.

I love the build up and seeing the horses being walked.
