Jumped brilliantly to land the National in 2008. Can he become the first horse to retain his crown since Red Rum? |

Disappointed in 2008 National and hard to imagine he will fare any better with more weight in 2009. |

Bothar Na (0-0)
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. |

Failed to get round for the second year in succession and it may just be that his best chance has gone. |

Mon Mome (0-0)
Decent stayer who didn't really look at his best in 07/08 and may improve again with the benefit of antother years experience. |

Third in 2007 and fourth in 2008. Sadly it looks like his stamina just doesn't see him home. |
