That will be The Tote then.

No real strong opinions this year, just a lottery.

3 at bigger prices for me State Of Play 20/1 finished 4th last year is 5lb lower and will run after a break which is good for him. Then Maljimar and King Johns castle at 33's.

Picked out Dream Alliance in the sweep at work. It seems to be getting a lot of publicity.

i got four horses

dont push it
flintoff
cant buy time
dream alliance

all should do well

i hope your horses are better than your picks at the dog track mate that all i gunna say

lol thanks dad

as I don't follow the horses whats mine like Snowy Morning does it run on casters

snowy morining is 14-1 mate so carnt be too bad a horse, you never know with grand national tho the form book goes outta window more often than not!!! lol

good £2 draw at work and could win £40 for a win

it is templegates nap in the sun newspaper so must have a good chance

vic venturi for me although i bet regually ive never backed the winner of the national.

I can see why, don't want to knock your selection really as I haven't done so for any body, and im more than certain my selections can be knocked too, but since you've admitted you bet regulary, Don't you think Vic Venturi is a little high in the weights and although he has won over these fences, I personally believe he only performs in small fields and the only time he has been within a large field (Irish Grand National) he lost to niche market by 35lengths.

I wish you the best of luck, but I can't see it doing owt although thats just my opinion.

that will be one to miss then

Snowy Morning has a very good chance Snowie, has completed twice in the race in previous years and is a few lbs lower this year two.

My four against the field are...

Black Apalachi (16/1) Has good form over these fences (despite an unseat last year) was absolutely tanking along last year when unseating, should be fresh and will go well again I reckon.

Tricky Trickster (20/1) Dissapointing in the Gold Cup but ever since being bought for big money out of Nigel Twiston-Davies's yard after winning the marathon at Cheltenham last year, this was always gonna be the main target, sound jumper and no stamina issues so should be thereabouts.

State Of Play (16/1) Ran a blinder when 4th last year, 5lb lower here and had a nice break and goes better fresh, should again go close.

Joe Lively (100/1) Usually like to back one at huge odds that may give a good run for your money. Could be the type to bowl along in front and give a real good account, ran in good company plenty of times and a very sound jumper (never fallen or unseated in 25 races).

Good luck everyone.
