The Grand National 2009 is just days away now and the excitement is becoming unbearable. There seem to be plenty of horses near the head of the Grand National Betting who warrant plenty of respect so we should go through them and pick their strengths and weaknesses.

Grand National horses:

My Will – The hot favourite and will be in good hands on the day with Ruby Walsh riding. Is officially well in but also has his fair share of weight and has been known to make mistakes with his jumping. A solid if unspectacular favourite.

Butlers Cabin – Fell when going well in the race last year and should give a good account if jumping round this time. Has been aimed at the race all year and goes very well on the good ground that will prevail on Saturday.

Rambling Minster – A very solid choice. Has never fallen, has won over four miles on soft ground so has plenty of stamina, has a good win record having won five of his fifteen chase starts, has won on both heavy ground and good ground so its all the same to him and has won since the Grand National weights were published so he is well handicapped.
