It's the Grand National Tomorrow every1 at 4.10pm delayed because of the stupid royal wedding. I just wanted to find out people's tips for the most exciting but toughest race of the horse racing year. I'm going to lump my money on Clan Royal myself, did it last year in the national and finished 2nd this year he's about 10/1 again, I think take the stand is a good outside bet, he's around 20/1.

I did think Forest Gunner would have stood a chance before I realised a woman was riding it, lol no ofence to the women out there. So theres my two tips, what about every1 else then.

Post your tips here and we can all talk about the Grand National before and after the race. It's sure to be a fascinating spectacle.

Ground should be ok for him but I cant see him making it round if he does he's got a chance of finishing in the first 4 or 5 in my opinion.

I think you should maybe forget my outside bet take the stand at 20/1. I think hes carrying a bit too much weight. I think Strong Resolve should be up there somewhere along with possibly Lord Atterbury. But Clan Royal is my tip. This race always seems to pan out differently to expected

Spotthedifference is a good each way bet hes about 25/1 and you can never rule out Hedgehunter hes sure to be up there come the end as long as he doesnt fall. The jockey last year messed up big time with Clan Royal, he should of won but he went too far wide down the final straight. I think he forgot the course and that sadly cost the horse victory.

Yeah forest gunner does have an excellent chance but sadly with a woman riding it I just cant see it happening. Nil Desperandum has a chance but I dont think he will win it although he does have the potential.

Dont trust me though the race will probably go completely differently to expected I expect hedgehunter to make the running for most of the race and I think Clan Royal will be near the front of the pack with about 3 or 4 fences to go.
