Grand National Tips 2010 - The Short List
These horses meet the key trends and we think they will have given the handicapper the most problems.
Black Apalachi has had bad luck in the National so far - he fell in 2008 and unseated his rider when in the lead in 2009. He does have winning form over the National fences in the 2008 Becher Chase and deserves a change of luck in the big race itself.

Paul Nicholls will be hoping
Big Fella Thanks will be the horse who will undo his bad run in the Grand National. Ran a huge race for a seven year old to finish 6th behind
Mon Mome last year and with another year's experience could be the horse to bring the National trophy to Ditcheat.

Niche Market caused something of a shock when winning the Irish National at 33/1 last season but this really shouldn't have been such a shock as this horse has been suggesting that he could develop into a top class handicapper for some time. Always held in high regard by his small yard his win in the Silver Cup at Ascot announced him as a horse to follow and he could make up into one of the favourites for the 2010 Grand National.

We have to include
Comply Or Die as we have been so impressed with his superb efforts so far in this race. The easy winner here in 2008 he then only found
Mon Mome too good for him in 2009 even though he was asked to carry eleven pounds more. Unlikely to get too much help from the handicapper this season but seems assured to run another really good race if he makes it back here in 2010.

Finally an outsider to keep an eye on.
Oodachee still has to prove his stamina over marathon trips but stepped up on his previous effort over the Aintree fences when second to
Irish Raptor in the 2009 Topham and he looks a horse that might enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Grand National.
