330/1May find this testing his stamina but stable have won Grand National before in 2003.
The Grand National Last Year illustrated perfectly why the nation love the race so much, the Aintree racecourse has no respect for favourites, Mon Mome (pictured below) was a 100/1 shot and just shows that any horse can win the big race. For this very reason the whole country either enters a sweepstake or has a bet on the national.
The two circuits of the two and a quarter mile track has sixteen named fences, fences designed specifically for the grand national, over the years these fences have claimed many horses and their mounts and regardless of the horses odds a poor approach to a fence will mean curtains
