Picking the Winner of the Grand National

This is the section that usually gets most interest and we wish that we could give you a foolproof method to selecting this years Aintree Grand National winner or the Aintree Grand National Tips.

What we endeavour to do is to try and guide you to narrowing down your Grand National Bet selection by highlighting some of the trends that can possibly help you make a Grand National Tips shortlist and in this way assist in making this less of a lottery.

The main areas to consider when narrowing down your Aintree Grand National selection are, the Horse Age, Weight, Form, Past experience of the unique Grand National Course, the trainer and jockey. So that's the list that we will consider in more detail.

But before we tackle this list there is one more step that we must take you through and that how to read the race card.

This is the first 11 runners from the 2005 Aintree Grand National the card for the race has a further 29 runners listed. The last named horse here is HedgeHunter who was the clear cut winner of the race. So a very quick lesson on what this information shows is the number 11 is the number the horse will wear in the race, the colours comes next and then the name of the horse and then the next piece of information is the last 4 runnings of the horse as you can se in the very last race he ran in he finished first so you can see that he was in good form coming into the race. The next piece of information is the horse's age and then the weight the horse will be carrying in the race and finally the jockey and usually you will also have listed the horse's trainer.

For many of you this information will mean very little however if you read our next page it will become increasingly apparent as to how important this information is to assisting you in picking the winner of this years National and our top Tips for Grand National Betting.
