Some more popular trainers haven't managed such a good record in recent Grand nationals despite many of their runners being well fancied. For example Paul Nicholls has recorded just three places from 34 Grand National runners in the past 10 years.Just one of Nicky Hendersons last 11 runners has completed the course
Philip Hobbs has managed a 2nd but all 9 of his other runners have failed to complete the course
So the grand national tip based on trainer form is beware of backing a horse just because it is from a popular yard. But do play close attention to the runners of Willie Mullins, Donald McCain and Jonjo O Neill as well as the most fancied runners from David Pipe and Nigel Twiston-Davies.
