Of the fifty remaining declarations, it will be mandatory for ten to be left out. The Greatest Race on Earth has never run this late since its inception 200 years ago, but its romanticism is never at risk.

Noble Yeats, Lifetime Ambition, Any Second Now, and, Delta Work, have plenty of weight to carry.

Can their class see them through? Gaillard du Mesnil is getting a big shout from trainer Willie Mullins. Might be too much for his young body. Ain't that a Shame with Rachel Blackmore, has a tilt here, but will he stay 4.5 miles?

Lucinda Russell gave the Scots its second-ever winner with the recently departed, One For Arthur, in 2017, so, let us concentrate on Corach Rambler 6-1.

He won at Cheltenham twice, he’s a good age, likes any ground, stays all day, jumps well, and has finishing speed for the long-ending stretch.

Mister Incredible is unpredictable. Might plant at the start. Still a good horse. There you have it. Needless to state, the Grand National is anybody's lottery.

Should take off at 7.00 pm on satellite streams.
