Iconic winner of two Grand Nationals; can he do it again and register win number three?

Didn't appear to stay the trip last year. May do better with another year's experience

Former Irish National winner. Ran well last year at Aintree when finishing fourth

Guided Rachael Blackmore to Grand national victory last year. Must have a big chance of retaining his crown

Former Welsh National winner who narrowly missed out on a run in  this race last year

One of the best horses of recent years having won a Cheltenham Gold Cup, a Hennessy Gold Cup and a Welsh National.

Probably found the ground too quick for him when pulling up here last year.

Placed in some top races last season. Could be a force to be reckoned with in the Grand National

Looked unlucky last year after being badly hampered at the 12th fence. Did really well to finish third in the circumstances

Former runner-up in the Gold Cup who probably now needs a tougher test of stamina such as the Grand National
