Backstage Odds and Grand National Form
Didn't look a likely Grand National candidate when well beaten in a Hunter Chase at Aintree in April last year but has since won a novice hurdle and a couple of competitive British handicaps.
Backstage also won four point to points last season but it is his 29lb rise up the handicap that has catapulted him into the higher echelons of the Grand National betting and in particular his last victory at Ffos Las where a good field were comprehensively despatched.
Trainer Gordon Elliott said after that race he would be focusing on Aintree and the 2010 Grand National.
Stamina is still to be confirmed but the way he won at Ffos Las over three miles two furlongs, staying extreme distances would seem likely. He has wins on good and good to firm under Rules and soft and heavy in point to points so this would suggest that whatever ground he encounters at Aintree it would not come as too much of a problem.
