Winner of four big races that have seen his handicap mark shoot up thirty-one pounds! Being aimed at the Cheltenham Gold Cup so not certain to run at Aintree after that

Three big wins last season where his jumping and stamina have been massive attributes

Winner of the Grand National two years ago and runner-up last year.

Impressive winner in this race last year

Missed out when a reserve last year but has been in great form this year winning a 99k handicap at Leopadstown and emulating Tiger Roll by winning over the Cross Country course at Cheltenham

Fast improving mare who has won the Paddy Power and Coral Gold Cup already this year.

Ran well for a long way in this race last year

Finished tenth here last year but has won two good races since, including the Becher Chase over these fences

Recent winner of one of the top Grand National trials: the Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park

Ran a stormer last year when finishing third here last year, beaten just three lengths after making a mistake at the last fence. Sure to be heading back to Aintree if fit and well.
