2008 Gold Cup Winner has been mentioned as a National possible. What a prospect!
Looked to be going well when fell at Bechers in 2008. Stable due a change of luck in this race.
Jumped brilliantly to land the National in 2008. Can he become the first horse to retain his crown since Red Rum?
Cracking effort to finish third in 2008. Will be trained specifically for this race in 2009.
Put up a terrific performance to win the 2008 Topham as a five year old. Bags of potential but a big ask to win the National at six years old.

2008 Irish Grand National winner will be looking to uphold the good record of winners of that race at Aintree.

Improving young stayer. Won the Midland Grand National in 2008 so has the required stamina for Aintree.
Shock winner of the 2008 Scottish National will be looking to confirm that his victory at Ayr was no fluke by running well at Aintree.

Gallant runner-up in 2008. Will be aimed at the race again in 2009.
Gutsy winner of the Welsh National in 2008. Could be the type of fairystory winner that the Grand National is famous for.
Won the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival but looks as if he could do with a few more miles on the clock before tackling Aintree.
Improving young chaser who won two big races at the end of 2008 season including at the Cheltenham Festival. If improvement continues can be a strong player in 2009 National.
Disappointed in 2008 National and hard to imagine he will fare any better with more weight in 2009.
Cross Country specialist who could be diverted to the Grand National. Would be very interesting if given the go ahead.
2008 Racing Post Chase winner has same connections as Denman and may be given his chance if that horse does not take part.
Didn't manage to win in 2007/8 but put up some top class weight carrying performances. One of the best staying chasers in training.
Runner up in Irish Grand National. Comes from powerful stable of Tony Martin
Failed to get round for the second year in succession and it may just be that his best chance has gone.
Third in 2007 and fourth in 2008. Sadly it looks like his stamina just doesn't see him home.
Fell in 2008 National when well fancied by his powerful stable. Likely to return in 2009.
Was well fancied for 2008 National but an injury kept him out of the race. Likely to be prepared for the 2009 race.
Has put in some decent performances over the National fences but might need to go up the weights somewhat to be sure of making it into the handicap.
Runner-up to Gwanako in the Topham and will be suited to the extra distance of the National if making the weights.
Disappointing in 07/08 but dangerous to underestimate a Tony Martin horse. Could easily come back to form.
Won a National trial at Punchestown in 2008 and completed in his own time in the great race itself. Likely to try again in 2009.
On a very long losing run and has disappointed twice in the National already.
Decent stayer who didn't really look at his best in 07/08 and may improve again with the benefit of antother years experience.
Brilliant display over the National fences in 2007 Becher but question marks about his fitness.
