Grand National Tips 2009We'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!
Here we will list the top Grand National Tips 2009
2009 Grand National Tips - Ante PostWe started to review the 2009 entries as soon as they were made to see what ante post Grand National tips we could produce. It was no easy task as the 2009 Grand National had a daunting 123 initial entries!
Grand National Tips 2009 - The Short ListThese horses meet the key trends and we think they will have given the handicapper the most problems.
Hear the Echo ran in three hurdle races at the start of this season before unseating his rider in his only chase run. This left the handicapper with very little recent form to assess him on. The Irish Grand National winner holds solid chances especially if he gets his good ground.

Although he doesnt have a hurdles run, My Will had made just one appearance since April 2007 when the handicapper had to assess him for this race. His Gold Cup 5th confirms he is a classy horse who seems to have got into the race on a much lower weight than he should.
We will add Rambling Minster to our short list at this stage as he has shown improved form since the weights were released, fits all the key trends, looks well handicapped and has been aimed at the race.

Finally we are going to include Comply or Die as we were impressed by the way he won last years race and the time in which he did so. He has been lightly raced this year with the Grand National being his aim of course. We are happy to forgive some poor runs in less than ideal conditions and think he will make a strong defence of his crown.
Butlers Cabin fits all the key trends we look for in potential winners of this race and looked to be running very well before coming to grief at Bechers second time round last year.
Black Apalachi ran just once before the weights were announced and that was in a hurdle race. Following the release of the weights he was a convincing winner of chase at Fairyhouse. He ideally needs soft ground and will be a great bet if the rain comes.
Kilbeggan Blade won his first three starts of the season with two of them being over hurdles. He could be very well in at the weights.
