The Best Grand National Tips for 2008We've analysed the past winners to find the important Grand National trends. We have listened to what the trainers say about their runners, we have consulted the tipsters, studied the form and scrutinised the bookies! These are the top four tips for the 2008 Grand National.
 | Slim Pickings at 33-1 with VC Bet |
SLIM PICKINGS
Ran a great race to finish third last year. After going so well for so long it looked like he ran out of stamina. A year on and he should have more as a nine year old. Slim Pickings is our pick of the favourites. |
McKelvey will not be runningMCKELVEY
Finished second last year and was found to be injured after the race. Hasnt impressed in recent runs but clearly been aimed at this since last year. |
Point Barrow will not be runningPOINT BARROW
Proven stamina having won the Irish National, just like 2006 winner Numbersixvalverde. Shares a similar profile to each of the last ten Grand National winners and has been given a nice weight. We think Point Barrow is a great each way bet. |
Dargent will not be runningD'Argent
Sired by Roselier who is arguably the best "national daddy" with lot sof success in this and other nationals with his offsprint. DArgent ouses stamina and fits many of the other Grand National winner trends. At a nice price hes a great each way bet. |
