I don't think i'll play. Once I put a bet on a horse and it died, so it's put me off ever since.

I'll pick 13 and 29 And for you Andy I'll pick 1 and 40 Paul's This is 13 - 18 504-6511F SIR OJ 9-10-10 Paul Carberry Noel Meade IRE Won Robin Cook Memorial Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November, but this is nearly two miles further. Jockey landed 1999 National on Bobbyjo, and will be looking to finish ahead of his sister, Nina, who's aboard Forest Gunner. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 40-1 29 got you 27 F6/0200-00 IZNOGOUD 10-10-08 Tom Scudamore Martin Pipe Easy to suggest chances are reflected in his name. Did finish 12th in last year's National at odds of 125-1. Rating: 4/10 Odds: 66-1 For me, you choose 1. 4 330-001 THEREALBANDIT 9-11-09 Richard Johnson Martin Pipe Highly-rated novice before losing his way. Won nicely on last run at Wetherby in December. Trainer took the race with Miinnehoma, owned by comic Freddie Starr, in 1994. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 40-1 and #40 2 0611-0422 HEDGEHUNTER 10-11-12 Ruby Walsh Willie Mullins IRE Comfortable winner of 2005 race. More weight this time, but impressive when second in the Cheltenham Gold Cup recently. Respected. Rating: 8/10 Odds: 5-1

Can I have 8 and 27 please? Ok 8 got you 28 1-3045351 JACK HIGH 11-10-07 David Casey Ted Walsh IRE Talkative trainer won the race with Papillon in 2000. Says his son Ruby's mount, Hedgehunter, is the one to beat, but Jack High was second in the Irish National before winning the Betfred Gold Cup at Sandown. Rating: 8/10 Odds: 20-1 And 27 6 225-5000 LE ROI MIGUEL 8-11-07 Liam Heard Paul Nicholls Along with Le Duc, leased for day by a trio including Pop Idol judge Simon Cowell, who will net £1m for the NSPCC charity should the horse triumph. A good cause, but unlikely to be a winning one. Rating: 6/10 Odds: 50-1

12 and 13 pleasey. 12 is 5 1042-404 IT TAKES TIME 12-11-07 Timmy Murphy Martin Pipe Time marches on for this 12-year-old. Fourth in 2005 for champion trainer, who has suffered indifferent form this season and looks like losing his title to Paul Nicholls. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 33-1 13 has already gone, pick another please.

You chose. 39 1P5//0PP- SHOTGUN WILLY 12-10-05 Andrew Tinkler Richard Guest Last seen when pulled up in the Midlands National more than a year ago. Trainer rode Red Marauder to victory in the rain-sodden 2001 National. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 100-1 40 P0-0P360 JUST IN DEBT 10-10-04 Alan Dempsey Martin Todhunter Relishes the course - twice placed in the Becher Chase. Appeared to run out of steam, though, when tiring into ninth in last year's National. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 50-1

2 and 22 for me please Andy!! For you, we have, 29 2-253615 HAUT DE GAMME 11-10-07 Keith Mercer Ferdy Murphy Boasts decent form over the National fences. Trying marathon trip for first time. Would be a dream victory for rider, who's a local lad. Rating: 8/10 Odds: 20-1 11 65-04504 RINCE RI 13-10-12 Andrew McNamara Ted Walsh IRE A grand servant who has faced some of the best chasers of recent years. No win for more than three years tells its own story. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 50-1

And for you we have. 9 4P/111-4PP SILVER BIRCH 9-10-12 Sam Thomas Paul Nicholls Looked a Grand National natural when winning the Welsh equivalent in 2004 and claiming the Becher Chase over the National fences. Failed to recapture that form after an injury. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 25-1 13 111-P020 LORD OF ILLUSION 9-10-11 Jason Maguire Tom George One of the more talented outsiders. Found the competition too hot when down the field in last month's Cheltenham Gold Cup. Rating: 6/10 Odds: 25-1

You have 31 16216-P4P BARON WINDRUSH 8-10-07 Carl Llewellyn Nigel Twiston-Davies A dour stayer who may be plugging on at the finish if still standing, albeit some way behind his rivals. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 40-1 33 101PP/-64 TYNEANDTHYNEAGAIN 11-10-07 Peter Buchanan Howard Johnson Trainer will be doing a rain dance as the horse relishes heavy conditions. Won the 2004 Eider Chase before missing all of last season through injury. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 66-1
