Here we go:

PeteFromLeeds

11 TOUT EST PERMIS (FR) 8 10 12 Noel Meade IRE. Sean Flanagan 80/1

About:

Another one who is wrong at the weights here with Tout Est Permis carrying 4lb more than he would do in a conventional handicap. He’s another one from the Bobbyjo – and another one who jumped to the right – and he has it all to do to reverse that form with the Willie Mullins-trained pair. Noel Meade tried to get a confidence booster into him at Down Royal subsequently, where he was sent off even-money for a conditions chase, but he fell at the 12th with blood found in his nostrils afterwards.

23 POTTERS CORNER (IRE) 11 10 6 Christian Williams Jack Tudor 25/1

About:

There has been a lot of chat about Potters Corner in the build-up to the Grand National following a controversial micro-share initiative from his new part owners RacehorseClub, while the horse’s pixelated version won last year’s Virtual National. Unfortunately, the real Potters Corner has not been in such good form this season, even if he has been keeping his powder dry in handicap hurdles, and he missed his Cheltenham engagement in the Cross Country due to a late setback. If he’s back in the sort of form that saw him win the Welsh Grand National in 2019 he has a good chance off a 4lb higher mark. He’s a former Midlands National winner, too, and there are no doubts regarding his stamina.

King Rollo:

18 OK CORRAL (IRE) 11 10 8 Nicky Henderson Derek O'Connor 40/1


About:

Nicky Henderson has yet to win the Grand National and this year he relies on OK Corral (unless Valtor gets in) who has been seen just once on a racetrack in the last 441 days. That was in the Ultima Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival where he was pulled up after finishing lame, so it’s hard to envisage the master of Seven Barrows breaking his duck this year. He was positive about his chances in a recent Zoom press conference following a schooling session, though, and he is only 5lb higher than when he won the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster. Leading Irish amateur Derek O’Connor takes the ride.

6 LAKE VIEW LAD (IRE) 11 11 0 Nick Alexander. Brian Hughes 40/1

About:

Another also-ran from Cloth Cap’s Premier Chase romp. Lake View Lad was last of five at Kelso, beaten 23 lengths by the National favourite when giving him 2lb – and he’s now 7lb worse off. He is a tough stayer on his best days – he has been placed in a Cheltenham Festival handicap off just a 2lb lower mark – while he has an Aintree win on his dance card this season after beating Santini, Native River and Frodon in the Many Clouds Chase on the Mildmay Course in December. Fences were missing that day, which might’ve helped as errors have been creeping into his recent efforts, and he was pulled up when 14/1 for Tiger Roll’s second National two years ago.

4 BALLYOPTIC (IRE) 11 11 1 Nigel Twiston-Davies Sam Twiston-Davies 66/1

About:

Has always looked like he should be an ideal type for the National but evidence over the Aintree fences suggests otherwise. A Grade One winner at this meeting by virtue of his win in the Sefton Novices’ Hurdle back in 2016, his nose second in the Scottish Grand National to Joe Farrell two years later proved that a stamina test is exactly what he wants. Talked of in Grand National terms ever since, his record over the National course subsequently is F-F-11th and he’s looked regressive this season, which is probably why he was not sold at the Goffs online sale last month.

13 MISTER MALARKY (GB) 8 10 12 Colin Tizzard. Jonjo O'Neill Jr 40/1

About:

Has won some big handicaps in his time, notably the big handicap chase at Kempton in the February of 2020 and the Silver Cup handicap chase at Ascot in the December of the same year. Those victories came off marks of 147 and 150, so you wouldn’t dismiss him from calculations on purely handicapping terms and he shaped quite nicely in third at 33/1 on his first start since wind surgery when trying to retain his crown at Kempton. The negatives are he’s prone to the odd mistake – he unseated Jonjo O’Neill Jr in the Ladbrokes Trophy – and he has to prove he stays, as well.
